Strong leg ; lots of water ; Sun glass Sun tantvlotion and wind breaker with high UV factor is a must UV - Places visited (terracotta ,Song of Eternal Sorrow Show, Mount Hua) of are great experience.
Roger our tour leader is well trained and knowledgable on each place of interest . His explanation is simple and explicit.
Especially Terracotta, knowledgable explanation is a must. Else you only see statues.
Mt Hua view and scenery is magnificentï¼›however you need to have strong legs to hurdle through. Sun glass and suntant lotion are a must.

We had a wonderful day trip in Xian with Susan - We had a wonderful day with Susan in Xian. She really took very good care of us, helped us in any way and introduced very thoroughly to the Terracotta Army Museum, the City Wall of Xian, history museum and the Small Wild Goose Pagoda. Susan helped us to arrange a lunch at a clean restaurant that served the local specialities - the Biang Biang noodles (we can highly recommend trying them as they were delicious). Her knowledge of Xian and its history was extensive and English is good. We liked that Susan took us to the right sports for taking pictures, renting the bicycles on the wall and the most important artifacts of the museum. The pick-up and drop off to the hotel were smooth. We thank her very much for an interesting day in Xian!

Amazing visit to Xi’an! - Susan was a wonderful tour guide and made the visit to Xi’an special - she helped us navigate the crowds to see the Terra Cotta warriors and took us to amazing places around Xi’an. The city has so much to offer and Susan made it very special. She took extra time to arrange for us to see shows in the evenings too. Our driver was amazing - having a private driver made everything easy. Thank you Travel China Guide!

Outstanding private tour of Xi’an! - Outstanding tour of Xi’an - our guide Susan made the experience the highlight of our trip to China! Everything was perfect - I can’t imagine seeing so much in just a few days. Susan arranged for us to meet the farmer who found the Terra Cotta warriors in 1974 & she arranged for additional shows after our tour day. Travel China Guide was excellent & Susan was a top guide!

Xi'an is a beautiful city with a rich history - I had a great time exploring the rich history of Xi'an. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about the various dynasties that shaped the culture of China. Susan, my travel guide, is very knowledgeable and friendly. She gave detailed information that added to every museum and attraction we visited.

A great flying visit to Xi'an and the Terracotta Army! - We had an excellent time in Xi'an with our tour guide Carol! From the moment she met us at the airport she took great care of us. The tour of the Terracotta Army was a highlight of our time in China and having a guide to help skip the queues and provide detailed information really helped us take more from this trip.
In the past I have often organized visits like this to Xi'an myself without using the services of a guide but I found this to be a great option. If you need a break from navigating on your own, want to maximize the amount you see and learn about the area and also gain local knowledge regarding culture I would highly recommend Carol!
