Enriching Cultural Experience - This was my second tour of the Xi'an Terra Cotta Warriors; the first being 15 years' ago. I was so awe-struck by the experience, I wanted to go again. Our tour guide, Rosa was perfect. Being from Shaanxi, she had expert local knowledge and also, very fluent English. I have studied Chinese history at university, but her knowledge was very detailed, and she was highly engaging and placed the warriors within a very interesting historical and cultural context. She and the driver collected us from our hotel on time and took us in a modern, air-conditioned people mover to the site. She was very efficient at getting us into the venue and making decisions as to how best to avoid congested areas. She explained each pit and its contents and wove a brief but very interesting history around the artefacts. We had adequate time in each pit, and at the new museum, as well as the museum shop. The first pit was very crowded but with a little advice and strategy, you can edge your way to the front of the crowd to see the warriors clearly. I love photography and was satisfied with the images I took of the warriors' faces with a telephoto lens. We found the 'warrior hospital' and the archaeological and restoration work on the artefacts fascinating. This was an enriching experience for our group and one we can highly recommend to anyone interested in Chinese history and something unique. We also highly recommend Rosa for her knowledge, organisational skills, and English proficiency.

Perfect Guide for small groups - Agnes was a wonderful Guide and knows so much about Xi‘ans history and the terracotta armee. During our visit she showed us so many Details, we would have missed without her. We preferred her as a personal Guide over a big group, as we were able to be more flexible. We do absolutely recommend her as tour guide!

Best tour we have had - experience the Terracotta warriors from a true local! - What an incredible day! From the beginning, Agnes (tour guide) and Chao (driver) were waiting in the lobby at the start time. We then had a short drive to the warriors, where Agnes provided history about Xi’an and the warriors. Agnes guided us through the 3 exhibition pits, providing in depth knowledge at every stage, with plenty opportunities to ask questions. Agnes then took us to a great Chinese restaurant for lunch, which was absolutely amazing. We then had the option to go into the main city and watch a cultural performance about the Silk Road for an extra fee. We jumped at this opportunity. Agnes guided us through the city, again providing history along the way. We then went to the show, which was nothing like we had seen before. Absolutely phenomenal performances. Agnes was extremely helpful navigating the markets and street food stalls for us. Chao was a great driver and was always ready for us when we were ready for the next location. Agnes is the best tour guide we have ever had and we would recommend booking this tour for anyone visiting Xian.

Great tour with Becky - The place indeed is amazing but Becky our our guide made it even better. She was well organized and called us day before to confirm details. She gave us lot of background and also suggested nice local dishes for us to try. The place ofcourse was worth visiting and I would suggest everyone interested in history to go see this place atleast once

A game-changer - Rosa explained the background history of the site and made sure we don’t waste any time and brought us straight to the highlights: the most interesting artefacts and the best places for pictures. Many thanks!

Highlights of Xi'an - Richard was excellent, he was very attentive, knew the history very well, communicates very well, and was all in all an excellent choice for us. If that weren't enough, Richard also helped us to arrange a show and dinner later as well as our onwards transfer. Could not ask for a better experience...
