Best Terracotta Warrior Tour - From the start of my booking Pings tours were so supportive and easy to navigate. On the day of my trip I started in Beijing with hotel pick-up and the driver escorted me to the security checkpoint and explained what to do on my return. On my arrival in Xi’an the service was next level. Becky my guide and driver were outstanding. We spent hours discussing every detail, her knowledge and passion for her history and culture was excellent. Becky took me to an authentic restaurant to try noodles only found in Xi’an which were delicious. I cannot recommend this tour and company enough.

Breathtaking, an absolute must do, once in a lifetime experience with a brilliant guide to help - Our visit to Tiananmen Square and the Great Wall of China was an absolutely breathtaking experience, offering stunning and amazing views that exceeded all our expectations. The sheer scale of the square and the majestic beauty of the Wall were unforgettable highlights of our trip. A huge part of what made our day so special was our guide, Lucy; she was incredibly kind, deeply knowledgeable about the history of each site, and her English was excellent, making communication effortless. If you're looking for a seamless and insightful tour, we couldn't recommend Lucy and this experience more highly!

DONT THINK TWICE - Lucy was an absolutely incredible tour guide and truly made our experience in Beijing unforgettable. From the very beginning, she gathered our group in such an organized and effortless way that everything felt smooth and stress-free.
Her tour through Tiananmen Square and the Palace Museum was outstanding. You can immediately tell that her love for history is genuine. She brought every detail to life. I especially appreciated her deep knowledge about the concubines and the stories within the Forbidden City, which added so much meaning and context to what we were seeing.
After the tour, she arranged a delicious buffet-style lunch, which was the perfect way to recharge before heading to the Great Wall of China at the Mutianyu section. That experience alone was breathtaking, but Lucy’s guidance made it even more special.
What truly sets Lucy apart is how she makes you feel. As someone from Mexico, being so far from home, she made China feel welcoming, warm, and familiar. That kind of care and connection is rare.
I highly recommend Lucy to anyone visiting Beijing, she is knowledgeable, organized, and genuinely passionate about what she does. Five stars all the way!
