Celine was outstanding. I am somehow repeating the previous 5 stars reviews. Celine was knowledgeable about Qin Emperor, Xian, the story around the discovery and the Terracotta army. The new museum on site is enlightening. Celine gave details about big Pagoda, City wall and so much more. The almost 10h tour went with a blink of an eye...giving us all the best tips to have the best view and caring for each details with kindness smile. Delicious Biang biang lunch with pomegranate fresh juice. You will be lucky to have her as a super guide. Merci.
Wonderful experience from two Canadian visitors

My boyfriend and I had Celine as our tour guide - she was amazing. On top of being very knowledgeable she was also very helpful and accommodating. She shared great insights to offer a better understanding of the Terracotta Army as well as the history of Xi’an. She had great advice on how to get the best views and pictures while sharing information to make the experience more meaningful. She was very easy to understand in English.
