It was a long day but worth it! highly recommend it.
- Pauline Díaz · US2021-07-01Traveler review
We started the day visiting the Terracotta Warriors which were incredible. We also visited the city wall and took a bike ride. The evening show was great. What made this tour so special was that you could decide where you wanted to go and you had your own private guide and driver. 5 stars goes to this tour as I cannot give it 10.
- Lena · NL2021-06-29Traveler review

- TomTom2 · ZA2021-06-23Traveler review

- Dee47 · AU2021-05-08Traveler review
This was the first private tour we took on our holiday to China. It was the best tour. We saw so much and the evening show was amazing. It is definitely worth booking.
- Terrence Fishburn · GB2021-05-04Traveler review
We had a truly amazing day, even if the tour was a bit long. Lots of walking but me and my wife are used to that! We chose to visit the Muslim quarters and the Great Mosque - and it was worth it, it was fantastic.
- Jan and Alan · GB2021-04-01Traveler review
<p>We had a great time on our private tour in Xi'an to the Terracotta Warriors, Muslim Street and the Pagoda. The highlight (apart from the warriors) was the evening show. Well done for providing a great day out and my husband and I will be recommending this company to everyone we know. Jan and Alan</p>
- Brad (New York City) · US2021-03-18Traveler review
I would highly recommend taking this private tour. We had the best guide ever and saw so many amazing places. We took a bike ride on the wall, visited the Terra-cotta Army and went to Muslim Street. We ended our day with a spectacular show. Thank you for looking after us.

Highly educational tour. Brilliant balance between culture, history and enjoyment. We were hugely entertained - fantastic day out.
- Phil Cartwright · GB2019-12-14Traveler review
<p>Perfect tour which we booked online before travelling on our Christmas holiday to China. Sights and guide was wonderful and the show at night is a must as it shows an insight into the history of the country. The costumes were amazing.</p>
- Lauren · GB2019-12-02Traveler review
We enjoyed this tour greatly, despite the day being a long one. Our guide made the tour the best one we've had yet in China and we will never forget it. She was friendly and had great English, and her knowledge of the area was outstanding. If you are only in Xian for a short time, this is the best tour to take. Thank you!
- Olivia35 · AU2019-11-29Traveler review
We had a full days tour with our own private guide and driver. Loved every minute of it. Took in the show after dinner and was amazed. The show is a historical dance through the Tang Dynasty and the costumes were amazing. Well worth paying for a private tour.
- C Brooks · GB2019-11-26Traveler review
WOW! An incredible day out. Very tired at the end but so worth the money and so many sights to see.
- H Axiak · MT2019-11-13Traveler review
Four of us took this tour as we all agreed on what and where we wanted to visit. It was a fantastic day out.
- L Michaud · CA2019-10-20Traveler review
Exhausted after this full-day tour but it was so worth it. Everyone marvels about the Terra-cotta Army and it is indeed a wonderful sight to see. The good thing about this tour is that you can pick another two options to visit. We decided to go on the city wall and to visit the Muslim Quarter. You also get lunch and of course dinner at the evening show. The show is elaborate to watch and the musicians, the dancing, lighting and special effects, costumes are all amazing. This tour was the best one we took on our trip to China and my husband and I loved every part of it.
- P Ortiz · US2019-10-02Traveler review
<p>We were extremely satisfied with this tour. It was a long day and packed full but worth every cent maybe a little more breaks would be good on this tour.</p>
- Atonia · GD2019-09-22Traveler review
A FUN DAY SEEING ALL THE SIGHTS. THE SHOW WAS BEAUTIFUL, AND THE FOOD WAS GOOD. MERCI

- BbGiles · US2019-08-12Traveler review
We had a great time on our private tour in Xi'an to the Terracotta Warriors, the city wall and the Pagoda. The show in the evening was spectactular. What made this tour very special was our fantastic guide. I would HIGHLY recommend her and this company to anyone taking a tour in Xi'an.
- Shelley T · GB2019-07-22Traveler review
My wife and I have always wanted to see the Terra-cotta Warriors and we had a great guide on this tour. Her understanding of the site and its history was awesome and helped us to gain an insight in a short time. The best thing about this tour is that you get to pick another two places to visit. Lunch is included and then you have dinner and see an amazing show at the end of the day. Cannot praise this tour enough.
- Aaron T · IE2019-06-23Traveler review
We had a wonderful day and evening. I highly recommend booking this tour and using this company.
