Stefanie is a great guide! - Excellent tour of the Terracotta Army and the very interesting Huaqing Palace, which was once a hot spring for the enjoyment of the emperor and his entrourage. There is even some fascinating 20th-Centrury histoy to discover in regards to Chiang Kai Shek and the so-called "XI'an Incident". Well worth a visit and Stefanie will certainly look after you and answer your questions, and give you key insights into the history and importance of the various sites you may chose to visit with Stefanie as your guide. Highly recommended, and Stefanie will arrange all the necessary tickets, drop-offs and pick-ups, lunch etc. We were very well looked after, well fed, and had a much clearer understanding of Xi'an and its importance in Chinese history.

Amazing day tour - The terracotta army was amazing and we were lucky because there was the the farmer who founded it. It was an honor to meet with him and we could make a photo and he gave us autogram as well. The Huaqing palace was also beautiful and interesting, but if someone wants to see all part of then it would need almost a whole day. And finally we were lucky again because we could go to watch the Tuo Ling Legend show and it was also amazing. So we would like to thank everything for our tour guide Stefanie, who organized an unforgettable day full of experiences for us.
