• Tip: do not book on Sundays

  The general advice is not to book for Sundays, the site is crowded almost as if you were out of air. That said, our tour started a bit uphill as we waited more than an hour without being notified or being able to contact the agency. They finally arrived to pick us up and the tour went well, everything very interesting and the lunch included was very good. To apologize for the inconvenience they offered us lunch drinks, and they apologized very much. Experience however pleasant and the site is gorgeous.

• A really good tour, making the day easy to go around and see the Terracotta warriors.

  A really good tour, making the day easy to go around and see the Terracotta warriors. Lunch was good and transfer with this tour was easy.

  It was surreal to see the scale of the site and all the work that went on creating the warriors and also the archaeological work still ongoing to uncover them A very illuminating experience and our guide Chelsea was friendly and very knowledgeable

• Poor Management of Pickup and Drop Off

  The facilities were larger than the pictures depict. This is very fascinating. The guide spoke very good conversational English and was very knowledgeable on the area and the Terra-Cotta Warriors specifically. However, the bus picked our group of five (5) at 0730. Our hotel was strategically located south of the train station but outside of downtown. I was only visiting Xi'an for the Terra-Cotta Warriors only. The bus (without tour guide) proceeded to four separate stops downtown to pick up the remaining 5 persons and tour guide. This took between 1 1/2 to 2 hours to collect the remaining group. This sucked since there was tremendous amount of downtown traffic and the other people had to be hunted down in their hotels. They were not waiting like our group. To make matters worse, the return trip was done in reverse order which took an additional hour or so to drop everyone else off at their downtown hotel before we were dropped at our hotel. This was the only tour guide we did not tip on our two week plus trip in China. Seems to me you would want to gather up the downtown stragglers first then proceed against the prevailing traffic patterns heading away from downtown to gather your largest group. Or at least reverse the drop off so the same group didn't have to wait for the downtown stragglers to get off first. Very bad management of time for our party. It was also hot and the bus driver did not turn on the A/C during the pick up. The A/C was turned on during the drop off but didn't cool the bus/van very good.

• Tour with souvenir stop

  You should mention that first you bring us to a souvenir shop for 1 hour. .. Would be better if still doing this, it could be done at the end. Please regulate the air-conditioning on the bus. The guide could give a little bit more info at site

• Terracotta Army Tour

  We booked our tour very late and were surprised to find we were the only two on the tour, Essentially now a private tour. We were picked up at our hotel around 8:15am. Our guide Coco was very friendly and spoke perfect English. The tour included the inevitable factory visit but as there was only two of us it was quick and painless. The tour of the Terracotta Army was wonderful and Coco’s knowledge really shone through making the tour very educational. Lunch was included in the tour and it was reasonable. Our day was shortened by the fact there was only two of us and we were back in the city by 3:30pm. I would recommend the tour and hope you get lucky like we did.

  Coco was wonderful, really brought the history to life with anecdotes and even helped me book a dance show afterwards.

  It was very nice to have company since we were alone, and it wasn't easy to orientate amongst the mass of humanity in the place if I had been alone. The guide was very knowledgeable and it was a pleasure to spend the day with her here.

  This was a fabulous day trip in Xian. It is well organized and planned and something not to missed while in Xian. The Terracotta Warriors have been well preserved and are well presented with great, close access available to leave a lasting experience.
