"Tracy was an exceptional guide. She was very pleasant and extremely knowledgeable of the area. She gave great insight and was very helpful with her suggestions. Xi’an is a beautiful city with a great history. We highly recommend Tracy and this tour."

"Our guide Linda was very knowledgeable and kind. She took a lot of time to show us everything and explain important sights of Xian. Highly recommended"

"Thoroughly enjoyed the day and my guide, Rosemary was excellent. This trip is also a great way, if you are short of time in X'ian, to get to see some stunning big highlights all in one day. We even added in a lovely tea ceremony too. A long but thoroughly enjoyable day."

"Excellent way to try numerous street food offerings and ends at a great brewery right beyond the old city wall. Felt safe and loved hearing about the different foods and getting a good sampling of everything. Highly recommend this tour."

"We had an excellent English speaking tour guide, Wendy who was knowledgeable and accommodating. We enjoyed a tour of the Terracotta Warriors including a VR experience. Had a delicious lunch of locally made noodles at Wendy’s recommendation. Then chose to visit the Buddhist Temple and rode part of the Xi’an Wall because the day was getting late. Thr Thoroughly enjoyed our day tour with Wendy and thumbs up to the driver also."

"Excellent day with our tour guide Nancy. She was well informed of the areas we visited and pleasant to be around. She suggested a small local resident near the Terra Cotta soldiers for a lunch of dumplings where we were the only Westerners. Dinner was 8 and delicious."

"What an awesome tour of the Terracotta Warriors ...such historical sites & I met one of the farmers who discovered the relics on his farm."

"Michael was a fantastic tour guide. He was extremely well versed in Chinese history and was able to give us the background information we needed to fully enjoy the experience. He was always smiling and went out of his way to make sure we got the most from our experience. For example, my husband's flight was cancelled the night prior to the tour, so he ended up taking a train from Beijing. Rather than sticking with the original itinerary which would have meant my husband would miss the entire first day, Michael offered to rearrange things so that we could pick up my husband at the train station so that he only missed one activity! In addition, when Michael discovered that I had never used chopsticks and the restaurant did not have any forks, he disappeared for a few minutes and returned with a bag of ramen noodles which included a fold-up fork which I could use. Talk about going above and beyond! I would highly recommend this tour as it hits the “must-see” places in Xi’an, and if you are lucky enough to get Michael, you’ll be in for a real treat!"

"Tour guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and spoke and understood English very well, Noble was excellent, would definitely use him again as a tour guide in Xian."

"Carol, our guide, was excellent, knowledgable, kind, thoughtful and so very helpful. We loved the day and will long remember the experience of seeing the Terra-cotta Warriors and the City Wall of Xi'an. She definitely made the whole experience a highlight in our lives."

"Rosa's narrative of the history of Xi'an was very well done. And the lunch was excellent. No complaints here except the torrential rain !"

"We were really looking forward to seeing the Terracotta Warriors and this private tour didn't disappoint. Thankfully it wasn't full of other tourists so we had an awesome time. Loved the Xi'an City highlights as well and plenty of history was discovered."

"Wow what a fantastic day! Once again Viator has delivered exactly what we required. From 9am to 10pm we managed to pack so much into one day and never felt rushed or stressed. This was of course mainly due to our wonderful guide Rosemary - what a pocket rocket. Well done and thank you Rosemary! M and J"

"A must seen in your visit to China. It is one of UNESCO¨s heritage places, and has only just been discovered in 1974! It was buried for almost 2700 years! The work to restore these pieces of art "Terracota Soldiers" has been amazing. My main reason to visit China was to know these army, and I feel very happy I had the opportunity ."

"Hey Kathy! You gave my son and I great service last year in Xian. In November take good care of my Niece and sister!"

"We had a great day with our tour guide Faye. She was knowledgeable and guided us through the warriors and gave us tips on how to manage the crowd. Faye helped us order popular local dishes at the restaurant which was delicious and then she organized our biking on the wall around Xian. After a full day we were delivered back to our hotel."

"Most amazing trip. It was much more than we imagined and that was thanks to our guide Jerry , who went beyond his time and made it the most memorable part of our China trip . He suggested the Tang Dynasty show and even helped organise our trip back from the hotel to the airport. love to visit again"
