5.00Lisaliu was an excellent guide for our private tour of the Terra Cotta Warriors. There were no questions she couldn’t answer. Our daughter loves to hear about history and Lisaliu was the perfect fit. The location and history was amazing. On the ride back she recommended a restaurant close to our hotel which was one of our best meals in China. She even helped us choose menu items which we took snapshots of and used those photos at the restaurant to order. She also recommended a location to see lots of lights at night which was breathtaking. Thanks again.

5.00Magnificent experience, pickup at the hotel; we were five Spaniards in Xi’An. Our guide Victor was exceptional, a great connoisseur of the history of China, the dynasties, and the terracotta warriors. He also helped us and recommended restaurants and other places to visit in his excellent Spanish.

5.00I booked an early morning tour to Terracotta Warriors. Everything went smoothly. Kai picked me up in a luxury sedan, arranged for the entrance tickets before we arrived and we were able to tour the Terracotta Warrior site before it became overcrowded. Kai's English was excellent and he did a good job of pacing the tour so I could spend as much time as I wanted at each location. At the end of the tour, he dropped me off at the Muslim quarter in Xian and took the time to show me the Muslim mosque in Xian. All in all I had a great experience with Kai and would recommend this tour.
Excellent Tour
