Terracotta Warriors And Xi’an Downtowntour

The problem with being on a tour is you don’t get enough time to wander around on your own. We were rushed though the exhibits and didn’t get to go to the museum which gives the history of the find. To see the three discovery areas is incredible. The history of the warriors is amazing. The workmanship of the warriors is incredible and a must see in Xi’an. There is a shop where the discoverer of the warriors will sign his book for you. He didn’t say a word but was happy to pose for photos. If you travel without a tour, tickets have to be bought 6 weeks in advance. Security is tight and a passport is needed to enter the displays. Well worth battling the crowds to see these soldiers. The archeologists were not present when we were there which was disappointing. To watch them excavate the pieces would have been amazing.

I took my mom (77 year old) on a private tour of Xi'an with Noble. Everything went smoothly. I'm planning to return to Xi'an and will reach out to Noble again for his service.

Noble gave us an experience I would recommend for anyone visiting Xi'an. Extremely knowledgeable and personable, he enhanced our experience of seeing the Terracotta Warriors and we learned a ton about Xi'an and Shaanxi history. This guy is the real deal.

Chu Chu is not only speaking perfectly English, she is a very knowledgeable and kind person. One of the very best I have met the last 5-10 years.

Mary was a great tour guide, she was very knowledgeable and helpful. I learnt a lot about the dynasties and how the Terracotta warriors fit into China’s depth of ancient history.

Noble picked us up at the hotel a few minutes earlier. He gave us an amazing tour experience. He is extremely knowledgeable of the history behind the Terracotta site. He is very professional with what he does. We had the best tour in Xi'an. He even met Mr. Young, one of the original brothers who discovered the Terracotta Warriors back in 1974. That was the high point of the whole trip. It was PRICELESS. Thank you Mr. Noble for this life-changing experience

The driver and the tour guide took great care of me. The helped me make the schedule custom made to my needs. They arrived on time on the proposed timing and where there for me throughout the day. Also they stayed much longer than initially indicated and the tour guide she also helped me book my tickets for the next day to do some activities she adviced me that it’s worth. Very kind people, speaking English, the tour guide spoke very good English that were there for me throughout my day. Would definitely recommend to both couples and group of people but also to a solo traveller that just wants to see the marvel of Terracota Warriors and his/hers friends cannot join!

This is my third visit to Xi'an and my third time having the privilege of Noble as our tour guide. His knowledge of the city, its history, and its people makes the experience truly enjoyable. His communication and personal skills, coupled with his mastery of English, are exceptional. Noble made all of us feel so welcome and treated us like friends. I first met him in 2018, then again in 2019, and now in 2024. We have kept in touch throughout these years, which speaks volumes about how much I trust Noble. His rates are reasonable, and he can help arrange all kinds of visit needs. He gave excellent suggestions on what to buy and what to avoid. Highly recommended.

Very good tour and tour guide excellent. English was very good and was a local to area. Suggested additional places to visit and brought us along. Definitely ask him all your questions you have or anything you need help with he is eager to help.

My time in Xi'an with Noble was amazing! Nobel was a really knowledgeable guide that I also got along with really well from a personal side. He was extremely easy to talk to throughout my 3 days with him and the conversation flowed very easily. Our interactions were not forced, like how it can be with some guides that speak your language but do not understand your cultural norms, humor, or general level of what you enjoy chit-chatting about. Not only did I learn a lot about the sites visited in Xi'an, I also learned so much about China as a result of the side discussions that Noble and I had throughout our time together. I was a solo traveler and touring with Noble felt like I was there with a friend. He gave me the best food recommendations and was then very flexible about accommodating those food places into our schedule and the budget. He would sit with me at my table and even share the same meals with me, which was amazing because so many of my guides in China would even sit at another table from me (as a solo traveler) and would make me feel distant and like I was being babysat. Not Noble though! He became a friend and by the end of our time together we were talking shop about anything and everything related to China-- both ancient & present. I will remember my time in Xi'an mainly because of Noble, and I will always appreciate the parting gifts that he left me that were very thoughtful little relics of the sites we visited.

Our tour guide, Noble, was very knowledgeable. He knew how to navigate crowds and where to go for the best spot to see an artifact. He also brought us to see the farmer who discovered the site and to the legitimate jade store. He gave a lot of information on the history, economy, and arts in Xi’an. Thank you for an amazing tour!

Guide was super-knowledgeable and tailored the tour to our interests. The Terracotta Warriors are, of course, amazing to see in person. Apart from the historical sites, he recommended a show and helped us buy museum tickets for the next day. I was initially skeptical about the show ("Legends of the Camel Bells") but it turned out to be a fun change.

We booked a private tour. Our guide, Summer, cunningly chose to go against the flow of the large groups. Summer is knowledgeable, proficient in English and above all, good company. The driver ensured smooth and relaxed travel. Highly recommendable.

My tour guide Noble was very knowledgeable and friendly. Being a born and raised native from Xi’an. He went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed and took me to see the terracotta warriors, big goose pagoda, try different foods around the city (lamb paomo, biangbiang noodles, and roa jia mo), and see the Tuo ling legend show. He speaks thoroughly and in excitement when explaining the rich history of the different places we been to in great detail. Even if he seen it more than once he is still amazed as if he seen it for the first time from a different perspective. I highly recommend doing a tour with Noble without hesitation because he is passionate about the rich history of Xi’an and is family oriented, and his work speaks volumes.. you will have no regrets having him show you around the city.. in all sincerity thank you Noble!! Grateful for all you do!! 🙏🥲

A wonderful overview of Xi’an annd its surroundings including a visit of the Teracotta warriors, show, the city wall and an excursion at the Huashan Mountain. Very well managed tour by Noble Liu and my guide Miky who was very professional, knowledgeable and kind. He made my experience in Xi’an great and I will definitely remember my time in Xi’an. I really recommend Noble Liu if you visit Xi’an. He and his team will arrange everything for you and for sure you will enjoy. Thanks again for this great experience!

Noble was the best! The tour company (unrelated to him since he works as a contractor) severely messed up my scheduling and there was a lot of downtime (like 6 hours to kill) in between my scheduled activities. Noble (and the driver) was kind enough to keep me company and extremely accommodating. He spoke English fluently and we ended up getting dinner where he taught me about the local cuisine and history/culture. We started getting into his childhood and it really opened my eyes the various backgrounds in China. The best way to put it, you would want to share a beer with this guy. Very knowledgeable and accommodating. I felt like I got more than a history lesson since he shared his culture with me. We shared contacts and I hope to keep in touch with him. Definitely recommending him to all my friend's visiting Xi'an and booking him the next time I'm in there. There is a LOT to see in Xi'an so I will return!
