Great time - We did in fact have a small group; 3 in total. Driver picked us up promptly at hotel, met up with other passenger and guide. Chelsie (hope that was her name) explained a lot of the history of how the tombs were found.
We did go to the factory where the make replicas; just negotiate a fair price, there’s no pressure. After that we headed to tombs. Great narration of the what’s and the how’s.
After the tour we all ate a a great restaurant ( not included in tour price). We also picked up some loose leaf tea to top off the tour.
Afterwards we went to the big pagoda; really cool to learn the history of it. By now we were tired and our third companion was gone already as he did tombs only tour. We told guide if it was ok to bypass the balance of tour and she said no problem. Drive took us to an alternate spot and dropped us off. Can’t recommend this tour enough.

It was a great tour for... - It was a great tour for first timers to Xi'an. Highlight was seeing the Terracotta Warriors in person. Our tour guide Chelsea was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of all the sights we visited. She even suggested other places and things to experience during our visit. We highly recommend her to those visiting Xi'an.

An Incredible Experience - Amongst the best excursions ever. Incredible to see the Terracotta Warriors, the site and how it was put together 2200 odd years ago.
Our guide, Chelsea was simply outstanding. Great product knowledge, excellent customer engagement. Her English was very competent, but given it’s not her first language, it was effectively excellent. She took charge of the day, moving at a beautiful pace through all the various points of interest. Cannot rate her high enough!!! Possibly the best tour guide and I have experienced a lot of them over the years.
Need to mention the sites. Must admire how the authorities have maintained them. Immaculate!

Good Experience - Our tour guide Nacy provide good explanation in both English & Chinese. We love the package we booked just that the crowd is too unbearable during Summer holiday in China.
We got a car with 2 others, it’s a bit squeeze for both men to sit at the rear seats.

Xi’an a must visit - I joined a tour with 3 other people who made the day fun and pleasant. Our tour guide, Nancy, was knowledgeable and made sure to answer our questions. She is calm and collected but at times disengaged with the group.
We went to a terracotta shop before any visits which was unplanned and unnecessary as it took time from the rest of the tour. 8 hours is a long day but with travel and lunch time, is really about 5. FYI if you look on viator for this tour you’ll find it with a diff price.

Reasonable tour, needs to stick to itinerary - Reasonable tour. Guide was nice and has a reasonable knowledge of the warriors / history. Wasn’t a fan of being taken to an unscheduled stop before the warriors where they briefly show you how they make terracotta soldier souvenirs and then follow you around a giant souvenir store hoping you buy things. Happens often in many countries, tour companies get paid to do this and it’s all targeted at making money, but then you get pressured often to buy things and it takes up time you could be actually doing things.
