Reviews: 1-Day Xi'an Tour: Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum (Terracotta Army) + Huaqing Palace [Chinese/English Guide]
Guest User2026-05-18
I was fortunate to meet tour guide Chen Xu on this trip. The entire experience was fantastic, a comfortable and unforgettable trip. I sincerely commend him! Tour guide Chen Xu is exceptionally professional. He has an in-depth understanding of the history, culture, and customs of the attractions along the way. His explanations are lively, engaging, and clearly organized, never dry or rigid. He always uses simple language to help us understand the local culture, making each scene more meaningful and enriching. He is warm, easy-going, sincere, and attentive, patiently caring for every member of the group throughout the trip. Before the trip, he thoughtfully reminded us of important points, and during the tour, he carefully controlled the pace of the itinerary, taking into account the stamina of the elderly and children. He proactively helped with luggage, reminded us of safety precautions, and considered everything meticulously. He always responded promptly and resolved problems effectively, making us feel at ease. The itinerary was well-paced and comfortable, without any forced shopping or hidden costs. Tour guide Chen's sole focus was ensuring everyone had a great time. Throughout the trip, he shared practical local tips and food recommendations, helping us avoid common travel pitfalls, demonstrating his thoughtfulness and responsibility in every aspect. Our guide, Chen, was humorous and engaging, enlivening the team atmosphere and alleviating travel fatigue. He was dedicated, sincere, and reliable, making our trip easy and enjoyable with his professional and warm service. We are very grateful for Chen Xu's companionship and dedication throughout the trip, and highly recommend him! We will definitely choose Chen Xu again for future trips and will recommend him to our friends!

Our guide Adam picked us up with the tour bus, picked up a few others on the way, and we spent the day as per itinerary. A great guide, great weather and a great time. Really enjoyed the Warriors despite the large crowds. Highly recommended.

Reviews: Xi'an Half-Day Tour to Terracotta Warriors at Emperor Qin's Mausoleum Site Museum – Expert Guide & Hotel Transfer Available
Guest User2026-05-15
This tour was definitely worth it. The place would be overwhelming if you went unaccompanied so my tour guide Louis was very helpful. His English was perfect and he was able to answer ally questions and pointed out the best vantage points. Louis was also able to explain the significance of the Qin Dynasty and the context of the discovery and how the find is viewed in China. There was only two of us on my tour so we were able to move at a pace that suited us. After the tour we were able to explore on our own. I went back through the museum by myself. The site was busy but not too crowded for the afternoon, I always felt safe there. I completely recommend it, an excellent display of archeology.

Reviews: 1-day tour to emperor Qinshihuang's mausoleum site museum + Lishan garden bronze chariots and horses with guide (optional huaqing palace) | premium 8-person group
Guest User2026-05-09
Xiaomin Wang provided such an outstanding experience for us today from the pick up service, his entertaining knowledge of Xi’an and warmest of hospitality. His experience along with the driver allowed the small tour group to bypass many lines and know when to view an attraction for the best view. My girlfriend has great interest in China’s history. Xiaomin provided great conversation with her and enlightened her with his deep knowledge. Thank you for a great day and experience of a lifetime. We plan to ask for Xiaomin when we come back to Xi’an for our next visit

Reviews: Xi'an Small Group Day Tour (Chinese/English): Terracotta Warriors + City Wall + Big Wild Goose Pagoda + Muslim Quarter - No Shopping
Guest User2026-01-22
Excellent one-day tour in Xi'an! We visited the main highlights: the majestic Big Wild Goose Pagoda (大雁塔), the awe-inspiring Terracotta Army (兵马俑), walked along the ancient City Wall (城墙), and immersed ourselves in the atmosphere of the Muslim Quarter (回民街), where we tried the famous biangbiang noodles (面). Special thanks to our guide Angie - who led the tour with deep knowledge and enthusiasm. The driver was punctual and careful, making the trip comfortable. The tour was very informative, well-organized, and truly engaging. We got a lot of impressions and learned so much about Xi'an's rich history. Definitely recommended!
