Richard was my guide for the day. As arranged he, along with his driver, picked me up in the hotel lobby. During the drive to the museum, he already shared a wealth of informative details with me. Upon our arrival, we were able to enter the museum directly, as tickets had been booked in advance under my passport ID. He guided me through the various halls, providing consistently engaging explanations along the way. The driver then picked us up at an intermediate point within the complex, saving us from having to walk the entire distance back to the main exit. Afterward, we headed back to the hotel.
hanks for your lovely feedback! So glad Richard brought you a smooth, informative and comfortable Xi’an Terracotta Army trip. Wish you all the best!
