Ace tour guide Carol Chen was ideal for taking us to visit the Terracotta Warriors and more besides!
michaeld32,,Dec 12, 2025

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.
A nice experience in Xi’an

5.00- overall it was a good tour experience, and I was able to seamlessly see different historical sites - driver and tour guide were very considerate - tour guide (Roger) was friendly and had good conversational English, but I would have appreciated more in-depth information for the price point - no shopping stops, all admission fees were paid, did not request tips - the van was clean, comfortable and had capacity for ~15 people, 7 people attended my tour which was a good size - direct hotel pick-ups and drop-offs
Great day with Jacky

5.00Lily was a fantastic tour guide. She took us through each of the Terracotta Warrior pits and kept our little group together when big massive tour groups started coming through. She also accommodated my older parents who walked a little slower, which we appreciated

5.00I booked the trip to have more comfort in the cultural visits that Xi’an offers and with Carol the experience was super helpful. He is a person who cares about the members of the group so that they are well and has excellent communication. Open at all times to questions, and to take some pictures in the best places. As a solo traveler I really enjoyed the memories I created on this tour.
Excellent tour

5.00This tour is really beautiful. Our guide, Carol, is very nice and helpful. She explained a lot about the history of the warriors. She even explained the Chinese culture and differences of Xi’an with the other regions.
Thank you, Carol!
