5.00Jenny was a great guide. He took us around all the pits and explained the story behind each warrior. Without her the experience would have been incomplete. In addition to being good and professional she was also very nice and helpful. He also knows Italian and this is very important for those who cannot speak or understand English well. I highly recommend it. Thank you for immersing us in Chinese history.
A must book experience!

5.00I arrived at the exhibit a few minutes after opening and noticed Jenny while I was buying my ticket. I am so glad I did. Her English was excellent and she came across as genuinely excited to give the tour, which made me feel comfortable right away. Once inside, I was overwhelming with how huge the grounds were but Jenny knew exactly where to go first. That alone made such a difference. She guided me through everything at the right pace, pointed out the best places for photos, and explained what I was seeing in a way that was clear and interesting. I honestly cannot imagine trying to navigate it on my own. Having someone so knowledgeable and organized completely changed the experience for me. I am really grateful I found Jenny. This was easily one of the highlights of my trip.
Excellent Tour Experience (Jenny)
