“This tour is very hard to rate. Miko was terrific. He is upbeat. He speaks English very well and knows everything about Tian An Men and the Forbidden City. Unfortuantely, on the day we took the tour it ended up being FIVE hours. Most of this was spent standing around in the cold waiting for security checks. That is not the best was to spend a vacation.”

Review of Xi’an’s Terracotta Army, City Wall, Pagoda, and Muslim Bazaar tour, with practical advice on value, timing, guides, and crowds.
“This tour is a great option to see a few of the must-visit highlights of Xi'an if you are limited on time. Our local guide Carol was very professional and extremely knowledgeable on the history of Xi'an. The experience of seeing the Terracotta Warriors was a bit overwhelming, but it would be chaotic regardless of the tour group you're with. It was neat to see one of the men that originally discovered the Terracotta Warriors at the beginning of our tour!”
