everything from the pick up at our hotel to the tour and to being dropped back at our hotel was first class.
- Toni Castillo · US2021-06-17Traveler review
This tour was absolutely perfect! Our party of 4 enjoyed this private tour so much that we booked another one for the following day. The agenda for the day was ideal. Our tour guide, was excellent. She was very informative and engaging. She allowed us some private time to enjoy the sights and always answered all of our questions, whether related to the sites or just about the general culture. The Terracotta Warriors were amazing and we had a wonderful lunch. Having the choice of where next to visit is the reason we booked this tour in the first place. 5 stars.

Our tour of Xi'an included a cycle ride of the city wall, visit of the Terracotta army and local museums. All were made special as we had a great guide who really knew what he was talking about.
- Hazel and Bob Phillips · GB2021-05-18Traveler review
Our guide was amazing. He spoke very good english, answered all questions fully and nothing was too much trouble. We were collected from our hotel at a pre-arranged time and as we are now retired he respected our pace so we didn't feel rushed. We had lunch on this tour and told us so much about the places we visited. Best tour we had on our trip.
- Jan Smyth · GB2021-05-08Traveler review
This was our first trip to China and it was incredible. Xian was our last stop and we saw the Terra-cotta Army as well as the Pagoda and Muslim Street on this tour. Our guide was good with a very good command of English. Lunch is also included on this tour. I highly recommend the tour as it is great value for money as you have your own private guide and driver.
- Alice · GB2021-04-27Traveler review
I enjoyed a great day tour of Xi'an with my guide. As a single girl travelling on my own I felt really safe. Thanks for a great tour and great guide!
- Tara · NZ2021-04-16Traveler review
We had plenty of time to visit the 3 main sites, the warriors, wild Goose pagoda and Xi'an wall. Our guide also took us to a very good local restaurant, where we had a really nice lunch. I can thoroughly recommend this trip and especially the guide.
- Donna K · US2021-03-23Traveler review
<p>We had a great day and went to see great attractions such as the Terracotta Warriors, Ancient City Wall, and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. The guide could not have been more attentive and I will definitely use this company again no matter what country we next visit.</p>
- Ann Taylor · GB2021-03-19Traveler review
After seeing the Terracotta Warriors we really enjoyed cycling around the city walls and going to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. This was a fantastic tour and we had a really good tour guide. Highly recommend this tour!
- Zara P · CA2021-02-25Traveler review
A very fun day with our knowledgeable guide. Well worth the money especially as you have your own guide all to yourself.
- HoneyB · US2021-02-20Traveler review
We were lucky enough to experience Xi’an with an awesome guide. First stop was the terracota army and what a sight that was. We were given all the time needed to view and take many photos. Lunch was ok and having the option to visit two other places is what sold us this tour.
- Larry Barto · US2019-12-23Traveler review
<p>The Terracotta Warriors are obviously the highlight of this tour. However; the other two sites we visited were awesome as well, our Christmas Trip to China was perfect for us great tours fantastic country. </p>
- Jackie C · GB2019-12-08Traveler review
Our day started with the Terra-cotta warriors and we chose the Muslim quarter and city wall as our other destinations. This tour and company offer you the choice of where you want to go after visiting the Terra-cotta Warriors. It also included lunch and as it was a private tour there was only the two of us. An excellent tour to take if you are on holiday here.

<p>OUR GUIDE WAS GREAT - AND THE EXPERIENCE WAS WONDERFUL ONCE IN A LIFETIME TRIP TO CHINA BEST TOUR EVER...</p>
- Chloe and Ben Strong · AU2019-11-23Traveler review
The visit to the Terracotta Warriors was definitely a highlight and our guide was terrific at giving us information. Even though I had read a lot about the warriors and thought I knew pretty much about them; I learned a lot more from our guide. We also went to the museum and then we visited the Muslim Quarter where we saw all kinds of exotic food in the streets and were even brave enough to try some. I can't thank this company enough, it was the best tour we took on our trip to China. Chloe and Ben

A very good full day excursion with this tour.
- T Ansel · FR2019-11-09Traveler review
Our trip to Xi'an was made even more memorable with our fantastic guide. I would highly recommend this tour company and would book with them again in an instant.
- Lee Hernandez · US2019-11-08Traveler review
The Terra-cotta Army was the highlight and is somewhere you must visit if you are in this region. We really enjoyed the tour of the Muslim quarter and the Pagoda. Our guide picked a great place for lunch and told us a lot about the local culture and we would most definitely use Private Tour to book our tours in the future.
- PP Graham · GB2019-10-26Traveler review
<p>Had an amazing trip to China and really enjoyed this tour in Xian would recommend for sure.</p>
- Zach NJ · US2019-10-18Traveler review
We combined the terracotta warriors with the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and we ended the day in the narrow roads of the Muslim quarter. Amazing day with our own private guide.
- Amanda T · GB2019-10-17Traveler review
Highly recommended and the trip to the terracotta museum was the main reason why we stopped in Xian. The museum was also awesome and our guide was wonderfuls. We usually book group tours, but we booked this private one because it really did allow us to learn a lot more about the places we visited.
- Shauna T · IE2019-10-16Traveler review
We loved our trip to Xian. Everything was great but we especially liked the bike ride atop the old city wall and the trip to the Terracotta army. Wonderful. Highly recommend.
- Gail T · IE2019-10-15Traveler review
Our guide picked us up from our hotel and took us to the Terracotta Warriors and then on to have a wonderful lunch. You have the choice to take visit two other sites (there are eight on offer). That is what we liked the most...deciding where we wanted to go. We even booked another tour whilst we were here with this company. 5 stars as they deserve it.
- Ruth Jones · GB2019-10-15Traveler review
Obviously the Terra-cotta Army is a must see when you visit Xian. The great think about this tour you can customise it to suit yourself. We went on the city walls and also to the Muslim Quarter. Lunch was good and we were picked up and dropped off back to our hotel.
- JackP25 · US2019-10-09Traveler review
Very flexible tour and we had so much fun. Thank you and recommended.
- Roisin and Cara · IE2019-10-08Traveler review
My daughter and I had a day tour with this tour company with and a knowledgeable and pleasant guide. She showed us the Terracotta Army Museum and knew so much about its history. My daughter convinced me to take a bike ride on the city walls and we also visited the Pagoda. We were even impressed with the lunch we had. I definitely recommend this tour, we had a great day and cannot thank you enough.
- T Clark · CA2019-10-06Traveler review
My husband and I loved our holiday in Xian. The Terra-cotta warriors were obviously a highlight, but we also enjoyed the other sights and experiences on this tour.
- Tom Cocozza · US2019-09-15Traveler review
An excellente company to book with which organised our short trip to Xian very well. We saw the Terracotta Warriors, also the city wall of Xian, where we went for a bicycle tour and visited the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda. We never felt rushed and give this tour 5 stars.
- T Bloise · US2019-09-13Traveler review
I can't say enough good things about our private customized tour. We visited the Terracota Warriors, Temple, Muslim Quarter and had a great lunch. Our guidewas so experienced and knowledgeable about every aspect of our day and it was worth every cent taking a private tour.
- T Brouillard · FR2019-08-17Traveler review
This company really does know how to put a tour together. We booked online and I cannot emphasize how much I would recommend this tour.
- Nicole W · GB2019-06-21Traveler review
We were picked up from our hotel and visited the famous Terra-cotta Army, had a lovely lunch and went on the city walls before doing some shopping. Not only did we have a great guide but she also had interesting things to say about modern life in China as well. An excellent tour which we highly recommend.
- Jill P · GB2019-06-17Traveler review
We loved our time in Xi'an and it exceeded our expectations. If we ever go back we would definitely use this company again.
- Harriot Myvers · AT2019-05-19Traveler review
It was an educated day tour considering, there was so much to know and learn about this beautiful city. There is so much to see from the city wall to the Great Mosque and the Forest of Stone Steels Museum. The local food was strange but real tasty, I like to try different variety of food. The Chinese food is so different to our street food at home. Totally enjoyed this day tour which was a highlight in one day!
