Review the Xi’an Terracotta Army tour, comparing guides, group sizes, transfers, timing, ticket value, and practical tips before you book.

“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”
