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!

Great time - We did in fact have a small group; 3 in total. Driver picked us up promptly at hotel, met up with other passenger and guide. Chelsie (hope that was her name) explained a lot of the history of how the tombs were found. We did go to the factory where the make replicas; just negotiate a fair price, there’s no pressure. After that we headed to tombs. Great narration of the what’s and the how’s. After the tour we all ate a a great restaurant ( not included in tour price). We also picked up some loose leaf tea to top off the tour. Afterwards we went to the big pagoda; really cool to learn the history of it. By now we were tired and our third companion was gone already as he did tombs only tour. We told guide if it was ok to bypass the balance of tour and she said no problem. Drive took us to an alternate spot and dropped us off. Can’t recommend this tour enough.
