Linda was our tour guide for the Terracotta Warriors tour and she was the best!! She was very knowledgeable, friendly/personable, and speaks English well. It was easy to understand her and it was nice to converse with her throughout the tour. She also took us to a nice place for lunch and later even helped us with exchanging currency, which we greatly appreciated. We would love to have her as our tour guide again and we would highly recommend her to anyone else.

Tina was effervescent with energy providing a very thorough in-depth commentary of the history behind the terracotta army. We enjoyed the tour.

Our family had a wonderful experience on this tour! Everything was well-organized from start to finish, and the guide Tina was friendly, knowledgeable, and great. We got to see so many amazing sights without feeling rushed, and there was something for everyone to enjoy — from fun activities for the little ones to interesting facts for the adults.

Our tour started with Linda picking us up from our hotel and directing us to the private vehicle for our tour. Linda was very knowledgeable in describing what we were going to see once we arrived at the Terracotta warriors. Linda spoke great English and tried teaching us some basic Chinese for our trip. Linda showed us some better vantage spots once inside the chambers for taking photos and made sure she explained all the differences between each warriors and the way they were facing meant different things. I would highly recommend Linda as a tour guide to anyone wanting a very informative tour. The driver that I didn't find out his name. Was very professional and had great experience navigating the busy roads to and from our hotel.

The Terracotta Warriors are well worth seeing and Cindy, our guide was great! We were picked up on time at our hotel and made the hour or so drive in a comfortable van to the busy site. And it is busy, which is why Cindy made it easier to navigate. My Chinese is limited, her English was very good, and she gave a great historical look at the many pits and displays. 5 stars easily for Cindy and the private half day tour!

We are truly impressed by the professionalism, the knowledge, the organization skills by our tour guide Carol Chen! She was so kind, so helpful and genuine in her attitude towards everyone! Another way she impressed me was that she went out of her ways to help us! We asked her to recommend a tour for us to go to Hukou around 10 pm, she immediately connected us to a tour and helped us to book one for next day! So efficient, so kind, empathetic! I would highly recommend her to all my friends who plan to come visit Terracotta! I meant to rate her 5 out of 5! She deserves all the praises!
