Fantastic Tour - We did a half day tour to see the Terracotta Warriors. Our guide Rocky was very knowledgeable, personable, kind, fun and energetic. He answered all of our questions and showed us the small details that we would have missed. It is obvious he truly enjoys being a guide. We also had a fantastic driver. I had wanted to come see the Terracotta Warriors for years and he made sure that we had a fantastic day! We would highly recommend that everyone let Rocky be your guide.

Wonderful Tour with Wendy at the Terracotta Warriors - We had a fantastic experience visiting the Terracotta Warriors with our guide, Wendy. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared so many fascinating details about the history and discovery of the site. Wendy kept the tour well-paced and organized, making sure we had plenty of time to explore and take photos without ever feeling rushed. She also gave great recommendations for local food and other things to see in Xi’an. Overall, Wendy made the visit both educational and enjoyable, we’d highly recommend her to anyone visiting Xi’an

An unforgettable day with the warriors. - An enjoyable and educational day was spent visiting the terracotta warriors from Xi’an. From the history of the Qin dynasty and the formation of modern day China, to the discovery of the warriors and the painstaking efforts of restoration, our guide Wendy, led us from one pavilion to the next explaining with great detail information we may have missed. Although it was a wet day we were quickly led through the lines for a memorable experience.

Outstanding tour of terracotta warriors - We had a really good tour of the terracotta warriors with our tour guide. Wendy was very knowledgeable and made the whole experience enjoyable. Her English is also. Dry good. She went out of the way to drop us after the tour at the Muslim quarter as well. We would highly recommend a private tour with her.

Highly recommended tour - From our first interaction with Wendy's Xi’an tours right up to the drop off at North Xi’an station was exceptional. We were picked up at our hotel by our driver Mr Liu and Agnes our tour guide. Mr Liu’s van was very clean and comfortable and his driving was safe. Agnes was lovely, she spoke excellent English. She provided us with very interesting information during the car ride as well as during the tour. It was very busy due to school holidays but Agnes ensured we got to see all the important parts in the museum, knowing exactly when to stop to share information and take photos. While we didn’t get time to stop for lunch due to the crowds and the time it took, she recommended we have Biang Biang noodles at the train station and to make sure we say bù là as we don’t like spicy. The noodles were delicious. We highly recommend this tour if you are looking for a professional company. Thank you Agnes and Mr Liu.

Amazing summer visit with kids - Wendy is one of the best tour guides we have ever met. She was punctual, personable, and with her primary school teaching background she engaged our children (7 and 9) generating in-depth discussions about the history of Xi’an and the terracotta warriors. Our kids were enthralled. She was very knowledgeable, charismatic and easy to listen to. She was very caring, looking after our comfort all the way through the tour. It was very clear that she is passionate about what she does, and she helped us have an amazing experience at the terracotta warriors. I would highly recommend touring with Wendy’s guidance. Thank you Wendy.
