“I had a private tour in Xian for a day at the end of June. I had to say the tour was simply amazing! I'm a solo traveller, and I only got two days in Xian. In considering the inconvenience of traveling myself, I decided to book a day tour to the Terra Cotta Army Museum and another one or two places. At the very day I got Michael as my tour guide!

“Our guide Henry was nice and friendly and very prepared. Entering the site without a guide is a bit of a problem if you want to know the story of the discovery because there are no descriptions. It’s interesting listening to the ancient history of the site and the description of every type of warriors. He was very kind and provided us with fresh water every now and then. In the middle of the summer with thousands of tourists, he was able to find the good spots to see. Good price, perfect experience. Very recommended”
