The Terracotta Warriors themselves were incredible to see and absolutely worth visiting. However, the tour experience could have been smoother. Our guide repeated the same information several times, which made the tour feel a bit drawn out and left us thinking a self-guided visit might have been just as good. We also had difficulty finding our guide at the start — there were no clear instructions on where to meet, and we waited over 30 minutes before finally being contacted. Clearer communication and better organization would have made a big difference.
A very informative and relaxing experience

The tour guide, Wang Kei, was very knowledgeable, and a friendly man who guided us expertly for two hours through the museum. The only downside was the museum itself--our guide says 20,000 people per day enter the museum, which makes it one of the most over-touristed sites in the world. It is hard to feel connected to these relics when hundreds of other people are crushing you in an effort to get the perfect photo.
Perfect tour

What an amazing trip Roger was our guide and he was excellent. Picked us up from our hotel and guided us smoothly through all the checks and security with ease, going really early as he recommended was brilliant we were right at the front of the queue and managed to get great views, it did get very busy so be prepared for crowds but it’s well worth. We were planning on doing a self guided tour but ended up going for a private tour so glad we did it made the experience even better.
