A morning full of dazzling history

We had a terrific morning at the Terracotta Warriors site with our tour guide, Villa. Since the heat was so intense during our trip to Xi’an, we opted to get an early start. Villa and Mr Chow picked us up at our hotel promptly at 7:30 am. During the hour-long drive to the Terracotta Warriors, Villa shared the history of the Qin dynasty, the Emperor, and the Terracotta Army. Throughout the whole visit, he told stories that helped the place come to life for us, and that made the experience really rewarding. Villa also knew the space well and helped us navigate through some very thick crowds to get great photos and see the statues up close. As well, we had fun swapping stories about our favorite American movies (Jaws, Alien, etc)—Villa learned to speak English very well by watching them! All in all, a wonderful experience. Highly recommend it!

Wonderful experience! Our guide was the best ever! She gave us all the inside stories and took our son by the hand thru the crowds, she loves children! The Warriors came to life because of her! Great tour company!

Highly recommend!

This was a great choice for a tour to see the Terracotta Warriors. Elith, our guide, was brilliant. She told us many stories about the local history as well as the story of the warriors and this amazing historical site. Elith was everything that we could hope for in a tour guide - spoke great English, was knowledgeable, and kind and courteous too! Thanks also to our driver, John.

Excelente tour por los guerreros de Terracota

Our tour guide Lisa did a very good job. She gave us an excellent explanation in our way to Terracota, then she did us a very god tour with detail information and allowing enough time for enjoying the visit. Very friendly and supportive. Without a question we could repeat a tour with her.

Private tour for families to the Terracotta warriors

I totally recommend this activity if you are looking for a deep, enriching experience full of history. The tour is perfectly structured: dedicating two full hours to explore the impressive pits of the warriors and the museum is the ideal time to absorb the magnitude of the findings and enjoy the archaeological details without rush. What truly elevated the experience to another level was our guide, Rita. Her service was simply spectacular; her passion, knowledge, and attention to detail made all the difference and allowed us to enjoy each explanation twice as much. ​I leave very happy with the service received. Impeccable organization and fascinating content. Totally recommended! In addition to the enormous historical value, the tour includes a very interesting visit to a local crafts factory. It is a great success, as it complements the day by allowing you to see up close the meticulous work and traditional techniques of the region.

Amazing Terracotta Warriors

Kai was such a friendly and knowledgeable guide! We learned so much about Chinese history and culture. He helped us navigate the crowds and made sure we saw and photographed all the highlights. We highly recommend a visit to the Terracotta Warriors with Kai as your guide! And be sure to ask if the farmer is there!!

Terracotta warriors is a must

Kay our guide was very knowledgeable providing great history of not terracotta warriors but also the city of xi’an as well. He was patient with our picture and video taking. He also helped for me personally wanting to purchase a terracotta warrior for home. Having him assure what I am purchasing is correct. We are also very fortunate for meet the farmer who found he first artificers in 1974
