Amazing tour of the terracotta warriors

5.00David was an amazing tour guide! His passion and pride of the terracotta warriors made his detailed explanations with funny anecdotes even more engaging and informative. We’ve been before and have to say David’s guidance was the best! He even introduced us to the youngest farmer who found the terracotta warriors and we were able to take photos with him! The driver was lovely too, the drive was smooth and he even stopped on the side of the road on the way back so we could take photos of the hill/burial mountain of the emperor qin shi huang. Highly recommend this tour!

5.00We were lucky to join this tour during off-peak season. The queues were short, and since there were only two of us, the tour felt like a private one. Terracota museum worth seeing. We learnt and respect the workers who made the army. Joyce was a great tour guide. She explained things well and answered all our questions clearly. She even find and show us supporting literature to answer our questions. Moreover, she respect us as moslems and even showed us to a recommended Muslim restaurant and helped us order food since we don't understand Chinese.
Great Tour Company for this Activity. Ideal for Children.

5.00Our family of 4 went on a tour with Ping's to view the Terracotta Army. Ping was prompt and clear in her communication with us immediately after our purchase, with follow ups till the day of the activity. Our English speaking guide David was fantastic in pacing the tour keeping our kids in mind. Description was clear and English was good. Totally recommend doing this tour for this activity so that you get a good insight into the history that is not in the descriptions and may be quite different if you DIY-ed using the displays and audio guides.
Well organised Tour!

We were punctually picked up at our hotel, the car was new. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and nice, spoke good english. At the end of the tour they even gave us a panda-shaped luggage tag as a gift! :) would definitely recommend
