Qinqin was a very fun and friendly English-speaking guide and knew an incredible amount about the history of the area and the attraction. Lunch was fantastic. We got picked up at our hotel and taken there very easily. We weren’t rushed at all at the site and got to explore everything without feeling like it was too long either. I highly recommend this service!
Thoroughly enjoyed this tour, very good guide, we got to the main site at a decent time with plenty of opportunity to look around, early enough so that it wasn't crowded out (I've heard horror stories from other travellers and happy to say we didn't endure this!). A nice lunch as well, it's on the site of the warriors but we had a good mix of food and plenty to go around a group of circa 12 people. The visit to the workshop (i.e. the sales pitch) is a bit prolonged, but it is genuinely worth a look around and we weren't under any real pressure to buy anything, so didn't mind it. For the price paid this was excellent, really good time with a nice group of people.
Enjoyed my time - Cherry was excellent in explaining the history of the Terracotta - she is knowledgeable. She is friendly and warm. The lunch though late was delicious- all of us were happy and satisfied
Great tour with excellent service. Just the right amount of time spent with the Terracotta Army. Never felt rushed. Recommend going after the National holiday week as I did so the number of people aren’t so many. We didn’t have to queue for long. I thoroughly recommend this company. For a first time traveller to China it was great to be picked up from the hotel as I was unfamiliar with the area. The generous lunch that was included after the tour was lovely as well and our group couldn’t finish all the food as there was so much provided. The organiser (Olivia) was very helpful answering any query I had. Our tour guide (Nana) was great also and very knowledgeable about everything. Absolutely no complaints.
The best experience ever in China! This is definitely a must visit place and contains so much rich history on China's past. The guides provided great information on how the place formed and its background information. I can understand Chinese, so it is very fortunate for me as the guides do not speak English. If you cannot understand Chinese, download an app to help you or choose another tour.
We arrived at the site at midday, when it was overcrwded, so we spent out time there just to queue to squeeze for a picture. The hotel pick uo started at 8.20, and we wasted one hour on our way to visita a workshop (the common spot four tourists). Lunch was in a touristy place and was another way to sell other products.
Quite nice, a day spent at the terracotta warrior museum with lunch. Our tour guide Cherry gave a lot of information. In June it was quite hot.
I would really recommend this tour of the Terracotta Warriors. It is a very interesting tour and the tour guides were accommodating of special requests!
Linda was a fabulous tour guide, and spent a lot of time carefully crafting a narrative for our group to understand the history and present culture in Xi'an. Great job Linda, thanks!
Guide picked me up from hotel, she went with us and gave a good historical explanation.Lunch was also excellent. Worth the value paid for this tour
Clearly the stand out visit on a two week tour of China. The sheer scale of the exhibition is breath taking. The scale of the original project matches that of the Pyramids. If it had been known about, it would have been one of the Ancient Wonders of the World.
Visiting the Terracotta Warriors and Horses is a must on your list. It is listed as the Eighth Wonder of the World and world cultural heritage site by UNESCO in 1987. The site was discovered in 1974, and is considered one of the greatest archaeological finds in 20th century. The site in fascinating and keeps you wondering because the warriors and horses are life size figures and arranged in battle formations at the museum. They are replicas of what Qin Shi Huang’s imperial army would look like at that time, 210-209 BC. The army was built in order to protect the emperor in the afterlife. SEE photos.
Our group of five had an excellent day thanks to our tour guid Rosa. She was outstanding. She spoke good English, she was funny. Rosa was knowledgeable about the places we visited. The Xi’an Marathon was happening that day, and Rosa and our driver arrived at our hotel early, and got us out on the road, or we would have been blocked in. We arrived early at the Terra Cotta Warriors. I liked that Rosa took us to see the chariots, then Pit 2, then Pit 3, saving the spectacular Pit 1 for last. It was a great buildup to start by seeing increasing numbers of warriors, and to finish with the massive Pit 1 with 1,100 warriors. We then visited the Xi’an City Wall, which is fascinating. We had time to stroll around for awhile on the wall. It has to be the widest city wall I have ever seen. Many people were biking. Then Rosa took us to the Muslim Quarter for an excellent lunch. Some tour guides are known for taking groups to a place where they get a commission, but it might not be that good. Rosa found a place that was very authentic, and served cuisine unique to Xi’an. She helped us order. The food was great. The noodles were really good. It was inexpensive. Then Rosa took us on a walk through the heart of the Muslim Quarter. There were lots of vendors selling street food and clothes, etc. It was very cool she took us to see the Drum Tower and the Bell Tower in the center of the city. We had a great day. Two big thumbs up for Rosa, and the great tour she gave us of Xi’an.
Excellent excursion. It was really enjoyed. Inolvidable. The awesome Terracotta warriors. Very good the guide. Recommended for everyone
