Fascinating, captivating, informative - This was a well organised and fascinating experience. Chelsea was knowledgeable and informative amd very clear. She had great recommendations for things on and off the tour. We took her advice on the Buddhist temple back near the bell tower afterwards which was cool. The timing and pace and appeal of this tour were all top notch. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We were also grateful to have booked at 11pm the previous night, probably because it was the low season.

Highly recommended guide and tour! - This tour was excellent. I met Chelsea in an easy to get to central location in Xi'an, and after meeting up with 3 other people, we boarded our comfortable vehicle, and off we went. Chelsea gave us a rundown of Xi'an and the Terracotta Warriors on the way there. When we arrived, we didn't have to organise or worry about anything. Chelsea arranged it all for us. We got a thorough explanation of the Terracotta Warriors during our visit to the 3 Pits and the museum. Then we went to a restaurant for a nice lunch. After seeing the Terracotta Warriors, I would tell anyone to get a guide and not do it independently. And Chelsea was a great guide. Cheerful. Knowledgeable. Helpful. Highly recommended!

Fun and interesting tour with excellent guide! - Very nice tour with nice guide. Our guide Freya was very knowledgeable and friendly. She could tell extensively about the history of the terracotta army. We were able to see a lot and it was definitely worth it. The lunch afterwards was also very good.
