Busy but worth it

Get there early as it will be manic. It is heavingly busy but worth it-totally amazing and unique experience and it is really only the mains hall that is chronically busy. We were assisted by Chinese students studying English in other halls and they were delighted to share their knowledge and practice their English. A once in a lifetime experience.

Brilliant guided tour

Henry did an amazing job taking us around the pits and explaining the history behind the xian, terracotta warriors and qin emperor. He allowed us ample time to explore and take photos/videos, ask questions and he also helped us take photos! Shared a funny story about a german art student as well along the way. When we asked him for food options, he also guided us to a nice traditional restaurant!

The nicest tour guide in Xi'an!

I went to visit the terracotta army in Xi'an with my friend but we hadn't booked a guide beforehand. Luckily, we met Henry just before going in the museum. He helped us get our bus tickets and avoid waiting lines. He gave us a lot of insightful information during the entire tour. At the end he helped us find a delicious restaurant and booked tickets for us to go to Huaqing palace at a better price! He even drove us there! Henry is a very passionate and dedicated guide. I thank him for his generousity and would definetly recommand him!

Henry was outstanding!

Henry was our guide at the Terracotta Warriors Museum and he was outstanding. We are a family of six, and he provided clear explanations in excellent English while sharing many fascinating stories about the history and culture. He kept us fully engaged the entire time, and we truly enjoyed every moment of the tour. We highly recommend Henry for anyone visiting the museum!

Friendly and Informative

Our tour with Cheng Liang (Henry) was very informative about the Terracotta Soldiers and Horses as well as history of Xi’an itself. He is one of the best guides we’ve ever had. Henry expertly navigated the crowds and pointed out some of the more interesting aspects of the soldiers and the excavations and shared some of his own family history as it relates to the dig site and region. We highly recommend Henry to anyone who visits the Terracotta Soldiers or any tour.

Excellent guide

Maria’s English is fantastic and her knowledge of the terracotta warriors and the history of China was excellent. She was timely and kind and attentive to our needs. She knew how to move around the site to minimize the crowds and maximize our views and experience. This was a great day.
