This was by far the best tour my friends and I went on in China. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and explained everything at the Terracotta Warriors museum in fine detail. Afterwards we went for lunch and the food was amazing. The streets at the Muslim Quarter were great fun and we got some great bargains. Highly recommend this tour. Thank you.

Our guide had great patience and the car was very comfortable and clean. She arranged our day to suit us as we are not as young as we would like to think we are. Thank you and we will both be recommending this tour to our friends.

The whole day was awesome. The terracotta warriors are absolutely a must see and we thoroughly recommend this tour.
- TammyT · GB2021-04-10Traveler review
The terracotta warriors are well worth seeing, but on this tour you get to see so much more. I loved shopping on Muslim Street and trying out tasty street food even though we already had lunch. Thank you for providing such a great tour.

- Tina K Rumble · US2021-04-08Traveler review
This was a great tour with enough time to see what we wanted to see and get plenty of photos.
- Fiona and Liam · IE2021-03-19Traveler review
We loved every part of our holiday to China, however; Xian and this tour was the highlight for us. My boyfriend and I had planned this trip for a long time and we will never forget it.
- Danii88 · GB2021-03-06Traveler review
We were so shocked by the size of the museum. It was really well looked after and we had loads of time to go round and admire it - a lot of it is still being pieced together which was really interesting. Having a guide makes a huge difference in a place like this. We got a lot of information about the history of the discoveries and due to the size of the museum you need help navigating through all the different areas. Highly recommend this tour - highly educational
- Sis Gawron · US2021-02-26Traveler review
The trip to the Terracotta Army surpassed our expectations and was definitely one off the bucket list. I also loved exploring Muslim Street and tasting some of the local street food. A great tour and guide.
- Tammy Holden · US2021-02-21Traveler review
The museum was so much larger than I had expected. Our guide was fantastic in showing us all the highlights and we learned so much. We really enjoyed making our own Terracotta Warriors - ours were definitely not made as skillfully but it made us appreciate the artistry that went into the real ones! Fantastic day all round
- Sal24 · US2021-02-18Traveler review
A most amazing trip. It was much more than we imagined and that was thanks to our guide. I was useless at trying to make my own clay warrior, but my husband really impressed me with his. The whole day was fantastic and we both highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Xian.

- Chi100 · ES2021-01-09Traveler review
Fantastic tour and thoroughly recommended - given the time needed to travel from central Xi'an to the site of the Terracotta Warriors, the full day experience is definitely recommended.
- Pauline · GB2019-12-18Traveler review
The city of Xi'an has a great vibe to it...just loved it there and really recommend taking this tour.
- HandyMan · DE2019-12-05Traveler review

The whole process was as smooth and easy to book online. I will admit I was nervous about using the internet but in the end it exceeded our expectations. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, the driver was very safe, and our lunch was excellent. We highly recommend this tour.
- Lee31 · US2019-09-17Traveler review
Overall really satisfied and recommended !
- Laurie Bennott · GB2019-09-15Traveler review
<p>For me this knowledge of how to make a clay warrior, and also learning how to make a miniature clay warrior by yourself. it was so much fun and how there is so much detail put into this experience. The surroundings in the Museum were just mesmerizing. Lunch was nice and light, also something new for me as the food was so very different. I am so happy i decided on this tour, one to remember! The whole experience was just absolutely fantastic.</p>
- Vin22 · ZA2019-09-13Traveler review
A great guide who knew everything about all the attractions. He told us the history, pointed out best places for viewing and gave us tips of where to visit during the rest of our stay.
- T Vladimirescu · RO2019-08-26Traveler review
<p>the trip was well organized and pleasant for all of us a great time</p>
- Jack Mcguire · IE2019-05-10Traveler review
<p>It was a great day tour, the clay warrior making was brilliant. I went on this tour by myself, I was nervous which is normal. That was short lived, as there was loads of other travelers on they're own also, so it was so much easier to embrace the tour. Great experience!</p>
- Alex · US2019-04-25Traveler review
Couldn't recommend this tour and company enough. We got picked up on time from our hotel and had a great day seeing all of the major attractions. Totally exhaused at the end of the day, but well worth it.
- Janet K · GB2019-03-27Traveler review
Amazing tour guide who was very knowledgeable and friendly. Even offered to help us with tips after the tour.
