4.00Our local guide, Agnes, was very knowledgeable and experienced. She has been giving us lots of ancient history throughout the trip which made this tour particularly fulfilling. Highly recommended. Our driver was helpful and accommodating our needs as well
Sadly, the worst ever.

1.00Decided to book with Viator instead of Get Your Guide in the hope I’d find better English speaking guides. This was an epic failure. The guide changed the time of arrival by an hour and then showed up two hours late because he went to the wrong hotel! We booked a hotel from his list of pick up places and sent detailed information about the hotel the day before. His English was marginal. His reliability was zero. 13 tours in China over a one month period. This was the worst and we won’t come back to Viator in any of our future travels around the world.
The best tour and guide in all of China!!!

5.00We had a private tour of the Terracotta Warriors and visited the Temple of the Eight Immortals with William Wang yesterday. After a short journey, during which William shared some of the history of China and Emperor Qin Shi Huang, we arrived at the museum of the Terracotta Warriors. William was well organised and we missed long lines to get in. He knew the best places to stop for high quality photos, and shared so much about the warriors, the warriors hospital and how they are being excavated. He assisted us in purchasing some wonderful souvenirs, and even helped me to make a video for my Mum, whose wish had been to see the Warriors herself but was unable to make the trip. We spoke about how China supports people of all faiths and went to the Temple of the Eight Immortals. William explained the importance of action, thought and prayers throughout the Temple, helping us to understand more of the Taoist beliefs. We had an amazing day! William was incredibly knowledgeable, sensitive and the most excellent guide we've had in our trip to China. I'd recommend him to anyone touring in Xian and he deserves 10/10!
great tour!

5.00Wow, what a great Day! The weather was miserable, but Agnes was WONDERFUL! Extremely knowledgeable as she never stopped citing information and history. Personable and caring, always telling you to watch your step, and making sure you were cared for. She gets you in and out before the crowds, maximizing your time and has a delightful personality. Highly recommend. We had a great tour of 3 sites, while other people who selected a different tour company only saw one site, and were envious when we told them about our day!
Great experience in Xi'an with Rosa!

5.00We booked our entire trip with Catherine Lu and our trip spanned multiple Cities including Xi’an. Our guide here was Tina and she is a wonderful person. She has a great understanding of the history of Xi’an and is very flexible. We changed our plans on the fly several times and she was very flexible with us and made changes to optimize our time. Her English skills were good and she was very hospitable and helpful the entire time, always offering to answer any questions we might have. In about a day we covered a lot of ground including the terracotta warriors, the city wall, the pagoda and the Muslim Quarter. Would not have been possible witthout her and her friendly driver. Thank you Tina!
Highly recommend this tour in Xi’an. Grace and John were fantastic.
