Afternoon at the Terracotta Warriors led by Freya - you can’t miss this!

I had a truly exceptional afternoon tour of the Terracotta Warriors, made even more memorable thanks to Freya — one of the most friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging guides I’ve ever met. Due to some travel complications, I arrived late and was the only guest in the group that day, but Freya couldn’t have been more understanding and gracious. She delivered a thorough, insightful, and well-structured explanation of the Terracotta Warriors exhibit, and her passion for the history of the site was both evident and contagious. She was also incredibly approachable and happy to answer any additional questions I had throughout the visit. If I ever return to Xi’an, I would 100% want Freya as my guide again. Her depth of knowledge and thoughtful approach to the tour made it a standout experience. Absolutely a 10/10 — I highly recommend booking this tour if you’re visiting Xi’an!

We had a great tour of the terra-cotta warriors. The tour company was responsive, we were able to contact the tour guide via WeChat prior to the tour. Wangkai did a great job with overview of the history and described the pits in detail. After the tour, we were brought to a few gift shops. We would have preferred if the tour guide had asked if we wanted to go to gift shops prior to leading us there. Overall, this was a solid tour.

Excellent tour of Terracotta Warriors Museum! The terracotta warriors are of course a must-see, not only in Xian but the whole of China, so we opted for a private tour to guide us. Our tour guide was Cynthia, who was friendly, knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. If you are looking for a great, 2-hour crash course, look no further.

We were fortunate enough to have a private tour with Chelsea. She walked us through the main exhibitions of the terracotta army and highlighted the most important information as well as answered our many questions. We highly recommend a tour with Chelsea – she even gave us tips for food and activities in the city. Thank you again for the lovely tour!
