We were on a private tour visiting Xian. Our guide, Carol, was on time, very knowledgeable able to explain the exhibit explicitly and found a good restaurant for lunch. More importantly, she was able to move us through the crowd swiftly and helped us to get better spots for picture taking.

Great Tour - If you want to see the Terracotta Army, City Wall, and the Giant Goose Pagoda in Xi’an, just go ahead and book this tour. We hit all the stops mentioned in the itinerary with the perfect amount of time to get an enjoyable experience of each stop on the itinerary with plenty of time to take lots of photos. Our tour guide Celine was simply wonderful. She gave a thorough explanation at each stop with lots of history and context. I had considered visiting all the stops on my own before booking the tour, but I would have missed Celine’s wonderful commentary. Taking the tour was the right choice. The recommended restaurant was also tasty and an excellent value. Highly recommend this efficiently run tour.
Great Tour. Totally took care of us.

What a great tour! It was nice to start the morning with a comfortable van picking us up at our hotel and driving us out to the location. Tracy our guide was excellent. We really enjoyed learning about the Terracotta Warriors and the other interesting sites we visited. Also, we appreciated her giving us tips on the best spots to take photographs and taking such good care of us. We highly recommend this tour.

Roger was fantastic, he was able to explain complex topics and names in English so I would understand them. It was very helpful to tour the Terra cotta army without waiting in lines and having a guide that could explain the nuances and point out details I would have missed. The other sites in Xi’an were great and we capped off the day with a massage and dinner show (optional and worth it if you have the time) Overall a great day and I would highly recommend
It was nice, and well...

A very well organised group tour which began with a prompt pickup from our hotel. Our guide Carol gave us informative background information en route to the Terracotta Warrior site. At the site we efficiently made our way through the various pits and onto the newly built (2024) museum with Carol guiding through the provided Bluetooth earpieces, a godsend in the crowded environment of the attraction. We were taken to an excellent restaurant for lunch, which had numerous awards on placards in Chinese out front. We opted for the half day tour and were left to our own devices at the Big Goose pagoda (top tip: go to 4th floor of the adjacent Joy City mall for the best pagoda views). Highly recommend for travellers wanting an efficient small group tour.
Great day in a special place with excellent guide

It is a good part if the Chinese history the last 2200 years, and the central role the old capital Xian, plus the starting point of the silk road connecting with the rest of the world 🌎. We had an excellent guide Carol 😀 to help us to understand this place, and all her help for anything we asked. She help me in anything I needed and I thanks 😊 her once more. Dimitrios from Greece 🇬🇷

We had a brilliant time looking around the Terracotta Army areas and museum. Rita was an excellent guide, explaining all about the history & exhibits. She was also very informative about Xi’an and the region. Later in the afternoon we continued to the pagoda and city wall. I would highly recommend Rita & this tour company.

Tour was very informative - our guide Lily was great in answering the questions of the group, navigating the sights and sharing the key information about each monument - including where to take the best photos! The hotel pickup was handy, and the timings were good. As a solo traveller in this tour, Lily was great at looking out for me and I really appreciated that.
