Great experience in Xi’an

5.00We had a great day visiting the Terracotta Warriors and then the Wild Goose Pagoda. There were other options on the tour but we had already visited the wall and the towers as our hotel was close to them. Linda was an excellent guide. She is extremely knowledgeable and helped us get the best out of our visit. She took us to a lovely restaurant for lunch and as I’m vegan helped me to select a suitable meal which was delicious. The restaurant also had a tea house and we tried different teas. The Terracotta Warriors are well worth a visit. It’s such an interesting place and the excavations are ongoing. The history of the pagoda is also really fascinating. We climbed to the top and could see all around the city. I would highly recommend this tour with Linda as she was so friendly and helpful and pointed out other places of interest in Xi’an along the way. Communication was great. Our driver was also very professional and we felt safe. Water and fresh apricots were provided in the car. We enjoyed the day very much.
Interesting and informative day out

5.00Cindy was our guide, she’s excellent; fluent English, very knowledgeable bringing the history to life for us and a helpful & considerate person who was a pleasure to spend our day with. Communication with the tour company was very good too, at their suggestion we made an early start & entered the Terracotta warriors as it opened, good tip. A private guided tour is really worth it at a busy site like this. We went on to the Emperors burial mound & chariot museum also well worth it, very close to the Warriors & ties the story together. We finished at the Palace & hot springs set in beautiful gardens, again nearby. Really recommend this trip & particularly Cindy as your guide.
Linda - Incredible Guide

5.00We spent half the day touring the TerraCotta Warriors Museum and half day on the ShaanXi History Museum. Linda was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly - I highly recommend her to anyone with keen interest in China’s history, arts, and culture. My partner and I walked away with a much deeper understanding of Ancient China and we are very grateful!
Great tour with Linda. OK lunch

5.00We had an amazing day with Tina! We visited the Terra Cotta Warriors - which we understood so much better after Tina‘s explanation of the history! Then we visited the 6000 year ago, village exhibition and ended the day at the Wild goose Pagoda! We did stop for lunch at a local favorite and had amazing food because of Tina suggestion! Her driver, Wen was also amazing! Highly recommend!
