One of the top tours we have ever done. - Chelsey was amazing Can’t say enough good things. We asked so many questions and she answered all in detail and was very interactive asking us about our lives as well. We enjoyed the visit and the highlight was a personal meeting with the farmer who found the Warriors! Oh, the lunch was top notch as well. Family style with lots of dishes and more than we could ever eat.

We highly recommend this tour with Peter. - An exceptional day at the Teracotta warriors, Great big Pagoda and city wall. Peter was an excellent guide and very informative and witty. He even stayed late with us to complete the city wall. We would highly recommend Peter and we are very grateful to him for his knowledge, care and fun.

Exploring Xi An and the Terracotta Warriors - I wanted to say that I had a great experience. It was my first time in China and my guide was very helpful along the way and answered all my questions surrounding the Terracotta Warriors and the history of Xi An, as a history major in college I was fascinated by my guides knowledge and would highly recommend this tour.

Way above excellent, exceeded our expectations - This is clearly the best choice for anyone wanting a one day tour in Xian that includes the Terracotta Army, with all tickets included and admission arranged by the tour guide themselves. The included free super comfortable and customisable transport between the attractions and the very convenient pickup and drop off (to/from hotel or your pickup choice within central Xian although the tour guide even was ok to pick us up at the Xi'an Railway station with meet-and-greet was above expectation and really amazing they could be so accommodating in our case as we came from the overnight train). In addition the tour guide was very kind to accommodate our luggage so we could have it with us during the tour. Cannot recommend this team or tour provider enough. Simply the best and best priced in Xian!

Lovely day in Xian - Chelsea, our guide, was brilliant! The terracota warriors are a must-see when in Xian, but also don’t miss the Pagoda and the Walls. Chelsea will cover all, always with a smile and being very helpful.

Worth the trip to Xi'an - Fantastic day ❤️
Our tour guide Rena was outstanding – 10/10!
She was very knowledgeable, spoke excellent English, and was extremely helpful throughout the day. She answered all our questions with patience and detail. We never felt rushed and she knew where all the best place to stand and take in what you were seeing.
We were a small group of five which made the tour even more enjoyable and it was excellent value for money.
The driver was superb. He handled the traffic expertly ensuring a smooth and comfortable journey.

An tour to recommend - Fantastic tour! Chelsea was an amazing guide — knowledgeable, organized, and thoughtful. She took us to the best viewing spots at the Terracotta Warriors and made sure we got the most out of the visit, even with the crowds. Lunch was delicious and well-chosen. We ended the day with a walk along the City Wall and a visit to the Pagoda, both full of interesting history and insights. Highly recommended!
