5.00I had an unforgettable experience on today’s tour with Celine. She is an exceptionally professional guide with over 17 years of experience and flawless English. She took us to the Terracotta Army, providing in-depth explanations of the historical context and ongoing archaeological work. After a delightful lunch, we visited the pagoda, the city wall, and finally the vibrant Muslim district. Celine was humble, friendly, and always attentive, making the whole experience seamless and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour and Celine as a guide.
Dream came through.

5.00I have been for a long time entertaining the idea of visiting China . Came to Xi’an ( as probably most people) with the ideia of getting to know the terracota soldiers site . The tour with Celine made my expectations fully grateful. Not only by the dimensions of this huge archeological discovery but also for the comprehensive coverage done by our guide . One can not evaluate the value of this experience without the expertise and clear explanations of o guide like Celine . I’m glad to have learned so much from her . Great day !

5.00Two of us took this tour today which we found fun, interesting and informative. Communication of pick up arrived the day before and all ran to plan. Mini bus was quite old, but fine enough for the one hour drive out to the site of the warriors. Celine guided us round excellently providing a great deal of insight and information on the history and the ongoing work at the site. Likewise seeing the Pagoda and other locations made this tour a great experience. Thoroughly recommend the tour and if Celine is your guide, you will have a great time.
