We had an amazing time...

5.00We had an amazing time exploring Xi'an with our guide, Chelsea. Despite visiting during the peak of Chinese New Year when the crowds were massive, Chelsea was a total pro. She was funny, engaging, and packed with historical knowledge that brought the Terracotta Warriors to life. She managed the logistics perfectly to keep our group together, making what could have been a stressful day very pleasant. A unexpected highlight was getting to meet the farmer who discovered the artifacts! We also enjoyed the local scooter carriage ride through the Muslim Quarter. If you’re visiting Xi’an, ask for Chelsea—she's fantastic!
Great experience

5.00We very much enjoyed our experience! Chelsea was an exceptional guide, very kind and knowledgeable! She made sure everyone in the group was well cared for and our needs were met. After seeing the terracotta warriors and enjoying a delicious lunch, three of us continued on to see the wild goose pagoda and city wall. We were amazed how knowledgeable she is. There was no question she could not answer, whether it be about history, types of cars, where to get dinner, etc. Her English is perfect and easy to understand. We would definitely recommend this excursion!
Cherishable experience!

We enjoyed the visit and the highlight was a personal meeting with the farmer who found the Warriors! Oh, the lunch was top notch as well.

5.00I wanted to say that I had a great experience. It was my first time in China and my guide was very helpful along the way and answered all my questions surrounding the Terracotta Warriors and the history of Xi An, as a history major in college I was fascinated by my guides knowledge and would highly recommend this tour.
Way above excellent, exceeded our expectations

5.00This is clearly the best choice for anyone wanting a one day tour in Xian that includes the Terracotta Army, with all tickets included and admission arranged by the tour guide themselves. The included free super comfortable and customisable transport between the attractions and the very convenient pickup and drop off (to/from hotel or your pickup choice within central Xian although the tour guide even was ok to pick us up at the Xi'an Railway station with meet-and-greet was above expectation and really amazing they could be so accommodating in our case as we came from the overnight train). In addition the tour guide was very kind to accommodate our luggage so we could have it with us during the tour. Cannot recommend this team or tour provider enough. Simply the best and best priced in Xian!
