Amazing Crazy Terra Cotta Tour in XiAn - Had to give my own review, although my wife had did hers. Wanted to thank Rosa for her informative and knowledge booster tour.
Regarding the food tour, as i not a foodie and dun like to eat but thanks to her recommendations had a great lunch with my wife.
For the Terra Cotta tours, with the planning of Catherine and help of Rosa and the driver we managed to save time and effort. We phased through thousands of people (60000 person per day!!!) with Rosa knowing where to go or not. And had took the nicest photo of the place and Terra Cotta. We even plan our Terra trip on the day we going to Beijing with time to spare and relax.
Please let the tour know how you want and like. Catherine communicate very well. We did both the Beijing and Xi An with them.

A nightmare Terracotta experience if without a guide! - Our tour guide Rosa is fantastic. She speaks good English so we are able to understand the culture and history of Xi’an. The tour to Terracotta will be a nightmare without her. There was tens of thousands of people visiting. With lesser people I think we would have enjoyed it more. Thanks to Rosa we are able to do it “anti-clockwise” than the rest of the people and so it ease our tour a little. We would have wasted a lot of time and got lost without a guide.

A day out in Xi'An - Even before the trip the communication was excellent
We were advised about timings, what to wear and were given plenty of flexibility about the agenda for the day. Our guide, Cindy, was truly excellent. She was knowledgeable, friendly and spoke perfect English. As a result, we had a memorable experience of the Terracotta Army, the Wild Goose Pagoda and the city will, which we would strongly recommend. Thank you, Cindy, and also your excellent driver who took us safely around the sights of Xi'An.

Great experience in Xi’an - We only had one day in Xi’an and this was a great tour. Rosa did a wonderful job telling us the history and stories behind the places we visited. The terracotta warriors are a must-see. Even the lunch was one of the best we’ve had.

Excellent ! - A visit to the terracota museum is a must. But try to visit very early or 90 mins before closing. The crowd could be overwhelming otherwise.
Our guide rosa is friendly and helpful. She knew her city and history well !
