Xi’An is the capital of Shaanxi Province and was the fabled starting point for the famous Silk Road. It served as the provincial capital for 13 dynasties, spanning a period of 1,100 years. Xi’An is unlike any major city in China, with an intact city wall, quaint local customs and a long history, even by Chinese standards. Xi’An is home of the world renowned Terra Cotta Army, an archeological site of unimaginable size and importance.

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.

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.

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

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