We enjoyed the tour Nancy did a great job but the enormous crowd coupled with a few glitches from other members on the tour group did detract from the overall experience
Incredible Terracotta Warriors day with MuBus!

We had a fabulous day at the Terracotta Warriors with our guide Chelsea. The whole tour went smoothly from pickup at the Bell Tower Hotel onwards. Chelsea shared history and information on the Emperor’s Mausoleum which was interesting and supported our trip. The Terracotta Warriors and horses were stunning, I wish I hadn’t done quite so much research as I had seen a lot of photos before going, I would recommend booking this trip and then stop looking at other’s experiences. We finished the tour with a beautiful lunch where I had the best sweet and sour chicken. All up another fabulous MuBus Tour, (we also did the Great Wall of China with MuBus). Thank you again - incredible value for money and an amazing experience!
Super fun!

Clear communication and tour lasted just long enough. We were with our 4-year-old son. With a small bus. Chelsea has given us a lot of information, very nice to experience this. (Without explanation they are just dolls)
Brilliant MuBus tour to the Terracotta Warriors - fantastic value!

A fabulous day at the Terracotta Warriors, where we visited all three pits. We met Chelsea our wonderful guide at the Bell Tower Hotel and en route she shared the history of the warrior army that surrounds the Emperor’s Mausoleum. The whole trip was well organised with sufficient freedom and useful information. The pits were stunning, I wish I had not done quite so much homework so that there were more surprises, but the trip was excellent value for money. Our second MuBus tour in China and I can’t recommend them enough! We finished our tour with a fabulous lunch where I enjoyed sweet and sour chicken before the bus ride back to Xian. Next stop Chengdu pandas.
