“My guide was Maggie again from a tour the previous day. It was raining and dull, but not deterred, we set off for the Terracotta Warrior site. Even though it was raining, there were many many people there to tour the site. Maggie was great and very knowledgeable of the history of the Chinese dynasty's and the site in general.

“Steven was an amazing guide. Everything went smoothly, we arrived very early and it wasn’t too crowded. He knew exactly where to go, made sure I got the chance to take photos and adapted the tour to what I was interested in. He gave explanations/historic background but it wasn’t overwhelming, just the key information. However, I could always ask for more details and he answered all of my questions. He also gave me general tips for the sights in Xi’an. Overall, recommend 100%, great tour ☺️”
