My friend and I have been traveling across China for a while, and for the first time, we decided to book a private guide for the Terracotta Army. We consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have found Jenny. She was a fantastic guide—pleasant, always smiling, and deeply knowledgeable. She didn't just show us the statues; she brought them to life by sharing fascinating historical facts about the warriors and the Qin Dynasty. Her passion for the subject was truly contagious. Jenny also had great practical advice, pointing out the best spots for photos and expertly navigating us through the crowds and queues, which saved us a tremendous amount of time. The hours flew by in her company. What could have been just a historical visit turned into an engaging and unforgettable journey into the past. I 100% recommend Jenny as a guide. If you want to experience the Terracotta Army to its fullest, she is the one to book!!!
Jenny has been really inspiring and taught us so much about the rich culture surrounding the Terracotta Army. She is very sweet and kind and does not hesitate to answer any questions we had, which was a lot.

Whatever we wanted to explore, Jenny was very patient and catered to all of our wants and needs, truly had such an amazing experience with such an amazing guide.

Jenny was amazing. She took us to the best places to do the pictures, the history and the shops and restaurants. Really recommend her!!
Friendly and clear, I felt the price was a bit high, but it a world heritage site after all so a tour guide is worth it, highly recommended.
Great facts and back ground information about the site and Terracotta Army. Jenny is a nice person who knows to find the good spots to take pictures and have great views.
Jenny is an excellent guide, we had a great time, the explanations were very clear and she knows where to take the best photos and avoid the crowds.
Unofficial guides ask people to write reviews at what you THINK is the tour's conclusion THEN they do dodgy things like coercing you into over-priced stores, despite being paid hundreds for only a couple hours work. If anyone approaches you, they are not an official guide. Everyone presents an official looking badge. There are PLENTY of official guides located AFTER the ticket office on the right hand side - they don't approach you.
5/5, we really enjoyed the excursion, she helped us to buy the student tickets, showed everything, helped us to go to the next point. Thank you!
It was an amazing time with Jenny, she is so nice, speaks English and a little Italian. She has a major in history so can explain a lot of things to you! If you have the opportunity to make the tour with her don’t miss it
Great experience. I saw all the most impressive warriors and learned a lot of history. Jenny also offered lots of local food recommendations.
Jenny was such an excellent tour guide! My brother and I are students visiting the Terra Cotta Warriors and had high hopes coming in. Jenny exceeded all our expectations and we feel we got the best tour possible.

Jenny is very knowledgeable, funny, and friendly. Just like the lucky soldier, we feel very fortunate to have taken a tour with her!
Jenny is very good showing the history and the places to see. She’s very clear and makes the tour very pleasant. She will also help you to huy tickets and Any help you need. Very valuable and very nice. We would recommend getting a tour with her without any doubt.
