A great paced day with Tina in Xi'An
We travelled to this ancient city as a couple and booked a day tour to experience the highlights of this city. We met with Tina in the morning and travelled to Terracotta Warriors, Qing Emperor Musoleum and the Big Wild Goose Pergoda. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Tina as she was insightful, knowledgeable and patient with our needs. The day was action packed yet at a great pace, we had plenty of breaks and learnt a lot about the Chinese history. Admission fees were reasonable. It's good to go in September as the crowd was smaller due to school holidays ending just a few days ago. Tina's English was also very fluent to help my partner understand everything that was going on. I want to thank her for her time today and making great memories for my partner and I here in Xi'an.

Wonderful tour with Shine!
This was a wonderful seamless day. Despite it being a massive Chinese tourtist week, our guide, Shine, was able to wisk us through efficiently. Shine conveyed a wealth of information; she has been a guide almost her entire life. She has a great sense of humor and a clear plan for how we went about exploring this massive park. The site itself - it goes without saying - is mind boggling. Also, the efforts take to restore and preservce the soldiers is another epic tale. Afterwards, Shine took us to a restauant in the park, that was both upscale and classic. Perfect place to buy tea for a souvineer. As an America, I tend to discount park concessions -- this restaurant was traditinal and beautiful. Excellent food. We then returned to Xian to tour the city wall. It, too was hard to believe. Do go. The tour was to end up at the Muslm Quarter, however, we opted out, as we visited the day before.... and we spent extra time viewing the soldiers and city wall. Bottomline: Shine was a wonderful guide. Lily coordinated the tour, and she, too, made the trip so easy. I have only good comments and memories for this tour!

Very nice and sometimes unusual food in places we would never have known about with very interesting commentary from our guide.
Well managed and the tuk tuk ride was worth the money itself.
Very enjoyable

Don’t make a mistake - Stay longer in Xi’an!
Our tour guide Betty and driver Mr Li ensured we had a fantastic day. They were on time and the van was luxurious. We appreciated Betty giving us so much invaluable information not just about the history of Xi’an and the warriors but of Chinese history in general. Betty guided us through the busy exhibition seamlessly while giving commentary along the way through earpieces, pointing out the good viewing spots. We ended with a delicious lunch of Xian delicacies and tea. Thanks Betty and Mr Li we hope to see you again for more Xian exploring!

After 50 years I get to see the Terracotta Warriors
We booked a private tour for 2 people to see the famed Terracotta Warriors with Cindy as our guide. Collected at 8am sharp from our hotel we headed to the archaeological site approximately 1 hour away.
Arriving at the site Cindy lead us through the intricacies of the entrance process and used the time to explain in perfect English the history of the find, the historical background that lead to unification under the First Emperor and what we were likely to see and do inside.
This is a must see historical site and nothing prepared me for the scale of the place and the enormity of Pit 1 in particular.
Nor was I prepared for the huge crowds on what Cindy told us was a relatively quiet day! But don’t be put off, it was well worth the struggle through the teaming throngs. The Warriors are magnificent and the stories behind them intriguing.
After seeing all three Pits and the museum we went to a restaurant with Cindy and enjoyed an excellent lunch of local specialities picked by her.
The afternoon at the hotsprings was a welcome relaxation from the morning before heading back to our hotel.
An excellent tour with a great guide who was informed and informative.

Had a wonderful day with Cathy!
Cathy was an excellent guide! We did a private tour to the Terracotta Army + Wild Goose Pagoda. It’s very tailored towards your interest and how long you would like to stay. A totally unexpected but delightful surprise was getting to meet one of the farmers that discovered the terracotta warriors! Cathy was also SUPER helpful the next day with plenty of suggestions for food, activities based on where we were, and performance show times/locations at Datang Everbright. We felt so welcome in Xi’an!
