Excellent tour of the Terracotta Soldiers

5.00Wonderful experience with Rosa and Mr Chow. Rosa told us many wonderful facts about the soldiers. Enduring we got to see all there was. In the museum she ensured that we got great pictures up close to the artifacts and soldiers. The archer and general were fabulous. The face and the colors were wonderful and she pointed out all the intricate details of the hair, the signatures on the armor and the actual clay still in the hand of one. We highly recommend Rosa and Mr Chow
Unforgettable Private Tour with Rosa!

5.00Our family had a wonderful private tour of the Terracotta Soldiers with Rosa. She is truly one of a kind—kind, intelligent, thoughtful, and incredibly engaging. She brought the history to life in such a fun and memorable way, and made sure everyone felt included and excited. If you’re visiting, definitely book with Rosa. She made our trip unforgettable!

5.00Amazing tour with Kai and his amazing driver. Kai brought to life the Terracotta Warriors and the history of the first Qin Emperor. Rather than it feeling like just being with a normal tour guide, it was more like being shown around by a friend. He made sure to take us to the exhibition first before the pits, which meant we had the exhibition to ourselves instead of the large crowd We were also presented with a gift of local fruit which was a really nice gesture. Do not hesitate to book this tour and use Kai as your guide. We will definitely be using his services when we next return to X'ian.
A spectacular day at the Terracotta Army with an expert guide

5.00Expect a expert guide and a good driver. We had Mr Feng and Agnes and they were lovely. Agnes was able to guide us through the all terracotta army pits. She provided helpful context and understanding which made it possible to appreciate the history of Xi'an and the warriors. It would have been a much lesser experience without her guidance. The warriors are incredible, it is an impressive display of what ancient people in this part of the world accomplished.
Rosa was our tour guide. ...

5.00Rosa was our tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and very thorough. She took us through the entire Terracotta Warrior area, pointing out obvious and obscure details. Always checking back to make sure we understood. She knew several short cuts around crowds & where to get best vantage points. Excellent English

5.00Kai was an excellent guide who helped us a lot, with very detailed explanations about the Terracotta Warriors and curious anecdotes that made the visit even more interesting. In addition, at the end of the tour he gave us some additional recommendations and some kind farewell gifts. On the other hand, Guo, the taxi driver, also treated us wonderfully. The car was spacious and comfortable, and even offered us complimentary water during the drive.

5.00We had a wonderful day with our tour guide Kai. He was very knowledgeable and helped us to manage the huge crowds. We would not have seen anywhere near what we did without him. Our driver Mr Liu was a very safe driver and the car was very comfortable and clean ,also luxurious. The whole trip was 10 out of 10. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Terracotta Warriors. Definitely worth every cent.
