5.00This tour was an absolutely incredible deep dive into China's history and left me in awe of the Terracotta Army. Our guide, Lily, was exceptional; her passion for the history made every explanation fascinating and easy to understand. She navigated the sites with perfect efficiency, ensuring we saw all the highlights without feeling rushed. The small group size made the experience intimate and allowed for plenty of personal questions. I highly recommend this tour with lily—it's a truly unforgettable 5-star experience and a must-do for any visitor to Xian.

Ace tour guide Carol Chen was ideal for taking us to visit the Terracotta Warriors and more besides!

5.00I booked this tour primarily to see the Terracotta Warriors because I realised that travel from the City Centre was not straightforward as the site is 25 miles away , and also because the large crowds might be bewildering when buying tickets and knowing where to go. An additional bonus was that not only only did we visit the Terracotta Warriors in the morning, but we also visited other intriguing and historic sites in the City Centre in the afternoon. I was the first to be picked up by the mini-bus from my hotel ( early start ! ) and was greeted by Carol Chen our English-speaking tour guide - she was very friendly and chatty, and helped me practise my ( limited ) Mandarin. She gave us lots of tips, including about the elbow-shoving to view the warriors! Everything was extremely well-organised, and although it was a long but enjoyable day, it was actually my one day off because all I had to do was to " follow the flag " ! Even the meal was organised as well as souvenir shopping. Drop-off was not very far at all from the hotel. If I had organised this trip myself, I doubt if I would have saved much - if any - money, but I was freed from the burden of navigating confusing websites and bus networks - there is no direct regular public transport to the site, so travelling by mini-bus was ideal and our driver drove safely and sensibly. So, to summarise , TravelChinaGuide is not only an ideal company to use for tours such as this, but also can book rail tickets and handle all other aspects of getting around a vast country which can be very confusing for non-Chinese speakers. It was a long day, too, for Carol, but she handled it all brilliantly and I have no hesitation in recommending her services.
