Super experience! - Our tour guide, Peter, was excellent! He met us outside the museum, helped us with our tickets and gave us a mini headset to wear to hear him more clearly on our tour. He knew the best spots to have photos, was incredibly knowledgable and had excellent English to make our tour really memorable! Thank you for a great experience!

Would recommend to everyone. - Thank you to Christina for being the greatest tour guide we could have hoped for. 100% would recommend her tours to everyone who visits the terracotta warriors. Hands down would not have gotten anywhere near as much out of visiting the historic sight without her incredible in-depth knowledge of the history, artefacts and current archeological developments. Definitely would recommend her tours to everyone.

An amazing tour guide and experience - The tour was excellent they meet you at the front, you walk in with them. Nancy, our tour guide was super informative and I loved being able to ask questions and listen. This is something I’ve been really excited to do for so long. If you get a chance it’s worth it. There will be many people. Breathe and remember everyone wants to visit because it is the “8th wonder” but, I would definitely wait until off-season. Also, there’s a great treat at the end of the tour I wasn’t expecting. Have a great time! Try the food and tea at one of the places Nancy recommends you won’t be disappointed!
