An Engaging City Experience - Rosa was our guide for the day. She was super engaging and taught us a lot about the history of the city. She took us on an alternate tour experience where we watched an immersive play on the Silk Road. English was understandable. We really enjoyed our experience and would recommend this to other groups!

Great value for money - Julia was our guide, she was great! She told us about the history and gave just enough background about the Terracota Army exploration works without overloading us with information. We managed to see Terracota Army, spend time at the City Walls, and visitesld the Mosque. Not rushed, we took our time!

Terracotta Army - We had a great day with Rosa today at the Terracotta Army. She told us a lot of interesting things about the historical background. Everything went really well, from the pick-up to the return trip. She also showed us around the Muslim market. We really had a lovely and unforgettable day together and can recommend the tour to everyone.

Amazing Terracotta Army and Xi’an day tour - Julia was my guide for the day. And I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. She is local and very well knowledgeable of the region…and speaks English well.
Not only she took me to visit the Terracotta Warriors, but also to Great Goose Pagoda and the Great Xi’an Mosque (these last two were my choices) where she thought a lot of China’s history and how Buddhism and Muslin came to China. And since I was interested in all this history, as a bonus, she took me to a live theater that tells the history of the famous Silk Road.
What an amazing day! Definitely recommends her!

Learned so much - The tour was amazing! We learned so much about Chinese history, Terracotta Mausoleum and the Wild Goose Pagoda. Julia was an awesome guide who explained everything and had answers to all of our questions. At every point of the Terracotta Mausoleum she showed us interesting details that we would have missed if we went alone.

Great Tour with Richard, Amazing Xi'an Experience! - We had a wonderful day in Xi'an with Richard and our driver. They took us to The Terra-cotta Warriors, and then we chose to also visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Xi'an Mosque. It wasn't my first time visiting Xi'an and I lived in Beijing in the past, but because the sights are not super close together I highly recommend getting a guide and a driver to make the most of your time in Xi'an without having to figure out public transport, taxis, or even ticketing - Richard and our driver helped with all of that. Richard was really friendly and knowledgeable, and at lunch brought us to a great restaurant for biangbiang noodles as well as other local dishes of our choice. All in all it was a great day, we saw lots and would have never been able to see this much in one day without them!
