Excellent private tour of Xi’an
Wendy L,,Nov 24, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We had a wonderful private 2 day tour of Xi’an. The tour company was able to cater the tour based on what we wanted to see. Both the driver and our guide is really familiar with Xi’an and able to make adjustments as our plans changes. The guide spoke excellent English and took us to restaurants to enjoy the local delicacies. Also guide suggested additional places to visit during our free time to make the most of our time in Xi’an. I would definitely hire them again when I visit China.

5.00The visit to the terracotta warriors is the central landmark, unavoidable. The level of medical care (which one member of our group needed) is of very high quality and face access.
Great time for two days...

An unforgettable two days in Xi’an

5.00We just finished a two-day tour of Xi’an with Becky as our guide, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Becky was absolutely fantastic: warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her understanding of Chinese history is truly impressive, and she brought each site to life with context, stories, and passion. She was also a joy to spend time with. Thoughtful and kind, she was always looking out for us. She knew all the best photo spots and took many photos of the two of us that turned out really well. On top of that, she went out of her way to help us book train tickets when we were having trouble with our own reservation, something she absolutely didn’t have to do. We also want to give a shoutout to our courteous and punctual driver, who made every ride smooth and comfortable. Becky is one of the best guides we’ve ever had on a private tour, and made the whole experience memorable. We leave Xi’an feeling lucky to have had her as our guide. An unforgettable two days!

5.00I booked this tour in May 2025 where my tour guide was Agnes. I had a fantastic experience with Agnes! She is extremely knowledgeable about Xi’An’s history. At each part of the tour, Agnes provided a lot historical context on what I was observing. She maintained a careful balance between explaining and giving me time to explore the sites. I especially enjoyed her explanations of the different Chinese dynasties and what defined their dynasty. Agnes also explained local Xi’An day to day life including local food specialties, and different areas of the city. I would highly recommend this tour if you’re interested in Xi’An’s history.
Amazing two day experience in Xi’an!

5.00We really enjoyed our tour with Agnes and Mr.Guo! Day 1 we attended Museum of Qin Terracotta Warriors (It was amazing, spent nearly 4 hours, warning it’s a busy place), Xi’an Banpo Museum (very interesting excavation site, not busy at all) and Muslim Quarter - nice exposure to different aspect of Xi’an cultural history. Day 2 we attended Xi’an city wall, Tomb of Emperor Jingdi and Xi’an Museum- we enjoyed all the locations, they weren’t busy and we could take our time to explore! Our guide Agnes was super nice, very friendly, well informed and answered all our questions with a warm smile! We recommend this tour if you want to have a deeper experience of Xi’an other than seeing the Terracotta Warriors as we learned a lot and it has rich history!

Xi’an two day tour

5.00We just finished our two day custom tour with Catherine and Agnes with driver Shi. We went to Terracotta Warriors and did the Big Goose Pagoda in the afternoon, stopping for a lunch at a local noodle restaurant and seeing the Terracotta Show, which was a full production and really surprised us. The second day we rode bikes in the city wall for an hour and then saw the Muslim street, drum tower and bell tower. The final stop was the Hanyangling tomb, which is also a must see for Xi’an. The tour was very flexible as we added the bikes with no problem. Would highly recommend.
