We did this tour on the only day in 2025 that it snowed in Xi’an. Our driver kept us safe and Roger did a great tour! He was knowledgeable and answered our questions. Highly recommend seeing the warriors.

We had a fantastic experience on the Mini Group Xi’an Tour to the Terracotta Warriors Museum with Roger as our guide. Roger was extremely knowledgeable and shared fascinating historical context that really brought the Terracotta Warriors to life. He communicated clearly throughout the tour and provided headsets, which made it easy to hear and follow along at all times. The tour was very well organized and nicely paced, never rushed, but efficient enough to see everything comfortably. Lunch was excellent and a great addition to the overall experience. Highly recommend this tour, and especially Roger, to anyone visiting Xi’an who wants an informative, smooth, and enjoyable visit to the Terracotta Warriors.

Great experience. Rita was very helpful and knowledgeable. I loved that it was also a small group. So many other groups had 20-50 people, whereas mine had 6.
