Terracotta Army and City Wall in 39 degrees! - We had a great day - with much of it attributed to our fabulous guide Sasha. Navigating the massive complex that is the Terracotta Warrior Museum on a very hot day would have been hard work with out her!!! Amazing experience had - the warriors are incredible and Sasha was able to share heaps of info as we went around, as well as short cuts to miss the crowds! We shared a fabulous simple noodle lunch, and then headed to the City Wall. Thanks Sasha!

Great tour. Recommended - Celine, our guide was super kind and helpful, always ready to give useful advice both on the move, and on the history of the terracotta army. We chose the half-day option, on the way back the tour ends at the Goose Pagoda, despite not having bought the tour for the whole day, Celine showed us where to buy tickets and what route was recommended for a quick visit to the park and the pagoda fountain. Recommended. 5/5

Informative and friendly tour to Xi'an' highlights. - The Terracotta Army is a must see, when visiting (eastern) China. We combined it with a visit to the ancient city of Pingyao, and to Beijing, which is good to do by bullet train. Travel China Guide offered an interesting package of some Xi'an city sightseeing and the Terracotta Army, and to do this with a small group (13 in our case) in the morning proved to be a good choice. Tourguide Celine picked us up on time from our hotel with a comfortable aircon bus and a happy approach. Celine gave us on the way to-, and at the site, a lot of useful information. Being there in the morning saved a bit of crowd, and as this is a major popular place, it makes a difference. Tips for where to look, how to secure a good photospot were ultimate. Both at the Terracotta Army, as well as at the city sightseeing, Celine surprised us with information on names, events, places that we thought we knew.. and she added new information. I saw Celine taking care of everyone in the group incl kids. She listened, answered, was patient, and surprised in a positive way. Travel China Guide, and the city of Xi'an can be happy with Celine, and we were delighted with this tour and her service.

Amazing experience! - The terracotta army is an amazing experience. Be ready for large crowds, but to see it is amazing! We did the 3 pits and the special exhibition and it did not disappoint. I think having a guide is a must, our guide Celine was amazing, she gave us so much context behind all the exhibitions and was happy to answer any of our questions. The Wild Goose Pagoda was also impressive and again the context that Celine gave us really helped to enhance the experience. The Xi'an wall is also really impressive. Unfortunately it was too hot to stay there for very long, but Celine gave us recommendations on how we cna watch it at night. Overall, the entire trip is a must if you're going to Xi'an!
