Awesome Army
Julie C, Nov 2019
I only had one day in Xi'an and I needed a punctual English speaking guide who could get me to see the Warriors and the highlights of Xi'an in one day without any stress and leave me feeling like I hadnt missed anything. This trip fulfilled all of my expectations and Linda our lovely guide, gave us more than we hoped for.
Linda and her driver picked us up at the hotel on time and before we drove off, she wanted to know exactly what time we had before we had to be at the train station for our evening journey to Beijing so that she could help us to plan our day and get the most out of it with the added bonus of negotiating a drop off at the station. We then drove straight to the Warriors site. Linda helped us to buy the tickets and then navigated us around the site in the best way to avoid queues and supplying us with information that we wouldnt have had if we had tried to do it on our own. She even took us to the best view points for amazing photographs and pointed out things like the finest details in the warriors such as their palm lines, the ear holes, finger nails and intricate braided hairstyles. As we left the site we asked if we could drive back via a route where we could also see the burial mound and where we could take a photo of it and the driver willingly obliged. We also asked if we could get some lunch somewhere and she took us to a great little local restaurant where had the most delicious noodles and dumplings I have ever tasted. I can honestly say it was the best mean l of our holiday and cost just £5 per head for all of the food and drink. After lunch she managed to squeeze in a trip the the City Wall, the drum and bell tower and a drive past the Wild Goose Pagoda, all of the while teaching us about the history and culture of Xi'an and helping us to get the most out of our single day. I couldnt thank Linda enough for making our day the best that it could be.
Really nice tour
Clemens S, Oct 2019
Our guide Linda was very knowledgeable and kind. She took a lot of time to show us everything and explain important sights of Xian. Highly recommended
Amazing experience made easy by local guide
nigel_p, Aug 2019
Pick up at hotel confirmed prior to tour.Transport was comfortable and .Guide Kai was a joy and made the tour so easy as August is rammed everywhere.His knowledge realy added to the experience.. Had a very good lunch in a nice restaurant before visiting the Wild goose Pagoda in the afternoon. Guide Kai tried hard to tailor tour to exactly what we wanted mindful of the extreme heat at the time of our visit..
Terracotta Warrior Day trip
dshshsg, Jul 2019
A very well organized tour and our tour guide Eddie was fluent in English and gave us an educational knowledge of Xi'an and also the Qin Dynasty and the Terracotta Warriors! I give 5 stars to his Tour company and him!!
Thank yo.
Excellent guide
Alma E, Jun 2019
Excellent guide, Eddie was very knowledgeable and great communicator. We highly enjoyed the day trip
Great tour!
mTan66, May 2019
Im giving it a 4 instead of a 5 because i googled mr. Yang who supposedly discovered the terracotta and the man looks different. He also does not look like a man in his 60s despite of what we were told. also, we were toured by a different guy in the big goose pagoda and in the end they ushered us into a 'supposed' chinese calligraphy class and then heavily encouraged us to make a purchase of a chinese painting. I say heavily, because we declined at first saying we didnt like any and then the guide urged us to look again and made several suggestions, adding in how the other couple with us had bought something. eddie, our real guide was informative though and very friendly. He was also relaxed and professional and came on time. The van wan was comfortable and the driving was excellent. Everything else in the tour was definitely A-grade except for those 2 things i mentioned.
Incredible
brian_o, Dec 2018
Customised tour at very reasonable rates .... pick from & drop back to train station. Guide was very attentive, knowledgable & keen to make sure we enjoyed our visit. Xian is full of history but the Terracotta Army is incredible to behold.

Loved the Terracotta Warriors
todd_j, Dec 2018
Our experience in Xian was very enjoyable. We were there specifically to see the Terracotta Soldiers. We took a sleeper train from Beijing to Xian and Sonny- our guide- pick us up at the train station, driving directly to the sight. We were delighted that at this time a year it is not crowded so we were able to take our time and truly enjoy this incredible finding. Sonny was delightful and very knowledgeable. We would recommend this tour without hesitation!
The best way to experience the Terra cotta Warriors
Henry_M, Oct 2018
Our guide, Agnes, was fantastic. She guided us, in clear English, from the drive to the Warriors through the post adventure meal. Smart, well planned and interesting tour. Having a guide dramatically improved our trip. Could not be happier with the experience.
Uneventful and kind of boring tour...
Suzana_J, Aug 2018
Uneventful and kind of boring tour. Our guide had a poor mastery of English and often was just on his phone. Of course Terracotta Warriors is a site that should be seen, however it was not impressive and the guide was boring and not interested to actually do his job. It seemed what ever we asked him he had an attitude in answering the question. He was more interested in being on his phone than doing his job - POOR JOB!
