Wonderful time - Wendy was such an excellent guide! She taught me so much about the history of the terracotta warriors and was also really funny. We had a great day and I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Xi'an. If you're going to visit the Terracotta warriors, I hope you are lucky enough to do it with Wendy.

A high quality tour guide! - We had a great time with Wendy who showed us around the terracotta warriors. She was extremely knowledgeable but also personable! Not only did she tell us historical details about the area but also about China in general. I would recommend Wendy to anyone who is going to Xi’an!

An enriching experience - We were absolutely delighted to have Wendy as our tour guide for the Terracotta Warriors. We arrived in Xi’An in the wee hours of the morning and only reached our hotel at 3am. When our hotel transfer driver (whom we also booked from Wendy) informed her of our late arrival, she thoughtfully rescheduled our originally planned 8am tour to 10+am so that we could catch a few hours of shut-eye. Wendy’s command of the English language is commendable, enabling her to convey intricate details and meanings with ease. Her extensive knowledge of this renowned archaeological site is nothing short of remarkable. Her genuine passion for the subject is not only evident but also infectious, breathing life into the entire experience and illuminating the subtle details that elevate the warriors to an even higher level of wonder. Our exploration of the history behind this 2000+ year-old treasure was an incredibly enjoyable journey. With Wendy by our side, we seamlessly navigated through the crowds, moving from one tent to the next. Her assistance was invaluable, ensuring our well-being and safety throughout. While the tour may be a bit steep in price, Wendy's guidance was truly priceless in enhancing our experience. Without her, this enriching encounter with history would not have been possible. p.s. if you’re looking to try some Xi’An snacks, you can find them at the shops just outside the Terracotta Warriors site. Wendy recommended them and they are pretty yummy!

Excellent local guide! - Wendy was amazing! Not only she told us many stories of Xi’an’s history and current affairs but she recommended an excellent local noodles, taking note to tone down the spiciness and helped us to buy tickets to a live show that we wouldn’t have known about. Her English and commutations is excellent as well!

Great Experience - Highly Recommend - I took this tour with Becky and couldn't more highly recommend it. Becky was a great guide. She's very knowledgeable and tells story's in a very interesting way that ensure you're engaged. She also speaks english well and is very friendly. If I were to spend more time in Xi'an I would see if Becky were available for more tours. Wendy's tour company is also very easy to work with. Wendy was very communicative and made sure all logistics were very clear and easy to follow. I would also not look elsewhere if I had more time and would just book more tours with Wendy's tours.
