Brilliant guided tour

5.00Henry did an amazing job taking us around the pits and explaining the history behind the xian, terracotta warriors and qin emperor. He allowed us ample time to explore and take photos/videos, ask questions and he also helped us take photos! Shared a funny story about a german art student as well along the way. When we asked him for food options, he also guided us to a nice traditional restaurant!
Very good and nice guide!...

5.00I went to visit the terracotta army in Xi'an with my friend but we hadn't booked a guide beforehand. Luckily, we met Henry just before going in the museum. He helped us get our bus tickets and avoid waiting lines. He gave us a lot of insightful information during the entire tour. At the end he helped us find a delicious restaurant and booked tickets for us to go to Huaqing palace at a better price! He even drove us there! Henry is a very passionate and dedicated guide. I thank him for his generousity and would definetly recommand him!
Henry was outstanding!

5.00Henry was our guide at the Terracotta Warriors Museum and he was outstanding. We are a family of six, and he provided clear explanations in excellent English while sharing many fascinating stories about the history and culture. He kept us fully engaged the entire time, and we truly enjoyed every moment of the tour. We highly recommend Henry for anyone visiting the museum!

5.00Our tour with Cheng Liang (Henry) was very informative about the Terracotta Soldiers and Horses as well as history of Xi’an itself. He is one of the best guides we’ve ever had. Henry expertly navigated the crowds and pointed out some of the more interesting aspects of the soldiers and the excavations and shared some of his own family history as it relates to the dig site and region. We highly recommend Henry to anyone who visits the Terracotta Soldiers or any tour.
Excellent guide
