Amazing tour with Betty!

5.00We spent 1/2 the day with Betty and her driver visiting the Terracotta Warriors outside of Xi’an. It was an amazing day! She was right on time to pick us up at our hotel. She gave us lots of information on the drive, so we felt very prepared to visit the warriors when we arrived. We met one of the farmers who discovered the warriors and were so honored! Betty showed us all of the pits, highlights, etc that were to be seen. It’s such a life changing experience! After our visit, we went to a local restaurant, where Betty ordered us biang biang noodles and Xi’an burgers (shredded pork) that were DELICIOUS!! This tour was definitely the highlight of our visit to Xi’an and it was so fantastic due completely to Betty’s knowledge, openness & kindness. Thank you so much!!
Solo Guided Terracotta Warriors Tour January 2026

5.00I did a solo afternoon tour in mid-January 2026 with Betty Jiao as the guide. We lucked out with sunny weather and it wasn’t too cold that day either. She and the driver picked me up from my hotel and it took about one hour to reach the Warriors. Being the offseason for tourists, the crowds were small. It was an easy experience entering since Betty handled the tickets ahead of time. We spent 2-3 hours touring the different pits and museum exhibitions. Betty had a lot of different facts to share along the way and helped to take photos whenever needed. After the tour, we walked to the nearby shop street and ate some great Xi’an food. The drive back into Xi’an was another hour. Overall, it was a great tour as I was able to enjoy the experience without worrying about any logistics. Would highly recommend!
Awesome Warriors!

5.00We had a wonderful day in Xi’an with Ms. Jiao and her team. The Terracotta Army was brought to life through her knowledge and passion, and the visit to the Shaanxi Wildlife Rescue Base made the tour truly unique. Everything was perfectly organized, comfortable, and memorable. Highly recommended!
