Xi'an: Terracotta Army & City Highlights Private Day Tour

Stephanie is an excellent tour guide, so attentive and kind. I had already hired her for a business trip, and this time I chose her again for a trip with my family. Her service is honest, punctual, and highly efficient. From our airport transfer to the hotel, everything was perfectly timed and welcoming. We didn't have any issues with tickets or entry at the places we visited. It's also worth highlighting her generosity. She always provided us with plenty of free bottled water and delicious fresh fruits during the tours. She was incredibly sweet to my children, gifting them little toys as soon as we arrived in the city. She was always mindful of them and took her time to explain everything with great care and detail. It was a wonderful family trip, and our great satisfaction is definitely thanks to Stephanie's excellent work. We highly recommend her services to anyone who wants to explore Xi'An with top quality and fair prices!

We had two really great days with Stefanie as our guide. She recommended a fantastic show to us: “Legend of the Camel Bell.” Stefanie is very friendly. She speaks English well. She knows a lot about the Terracotta Army. We had lunch together at a lovely little restaurant. This was on her recommendation. I would definitely recommend her!

Quero agradecer a nossa guia Stefany, que nos mostrou a cidade de Xian, muito educada, paciente, uma excelente guia. Obrigado I want to thank our guide Stefany, who showed us around the city of Xian. She was very polite, patient, and an excellent guide. Thank you.

We booked a day trip with Stefanie to see the Terracotta Warriors and 2 additional sites of our choice (Muslim Quarter and Great Mosque), and I am so glad we went with a guide. Stefanie and her driver picked us up at our hotel and got us to the Terracotta site when it opened. The site was much more confusing than I expected, and she hustled us to the entrance and prime viewing spots throughout the tour. There are SO many people at this site and any English signs are few and hard to see between the crowds, so we were so glad we had a live guide to walk us through, park us at different viewing spots, and point out different highlights as we went along. It was efficient, educational, and nice not to be struggling through the crowds alone, trying to figure out what to see next and what the significance of each of the tombs or sculptures was. Then afterwards, she spontaneously asked if we wanted to book tickets to a Silk Road themed song/music/costume show, and we were so glad we added that to our tour. It was awesome, technologically modern, fun, and very Chinese all at once. There are some jaw dropping theatrical effects during the Silk Road show, so I recommend not really reading about what you'll see in advance so there are no spoilers and you get the full amazement too, haha. Stefanie was also flexible about eating and breaks. We got milk teas when we needed a sit down, and she took us to an excellent local restaurant that wasn't touristy at all. I feel like we enjoyed real Xi'an food in a real Chinese restaurant. The Great Mosque and Muslim Quarter were also a great choise, as the mosque had elements that we wouldn't have identified on our own, and she helped explain the significance of the site. She even patiently waited while I did a little shopping in the Muslim Quarter (shops that I wandered into on my own. This wasn't a tour with planned shopping stops). Throughout the tour Stefanie gave us her full attention and was always energized and happy to answer our questions. It was so nice to have such a cheerful, enthusiastic guide with us throughout the day!

Stefanie was a wonderful guide for the terracotta warriors and museum, and we even had the chance to meet one of the farmers who discovered the terracotta warriors when they were digging a new well. I had my book signed by the one who was there on the day, although I'm sorry to say I can't recall his name. Stefanie maintains a good, reasobable pace, and we managed to see a great deal here, and also of Xi'an during our three and hald day stay there. She and her driver, Mr Wang, picked us up from the train station, were always on time for our morning hotel pick-ups, and finally saw us off at the airport from where we departed to Shanghai. She even gave us an excellent recommendation for a guide in Shanghai. Stefanie is very informative, enthusiastic and very well organised. Please do consider booking her as your tour guide. Thank you again, Stefanie, from me and my cousins.

Stefani is the best! We stayed in Xi'an for 3 days and the program she proposed was incredible: mausoleums, walls, palaces, theaters, lantern festival... and a lot of history throughout the visits. She was always friendly and showed us Chinese culture, cuisine and history.

Stefanie is awesome! She is an experienced guide, she speaks great English, knows lots about Chinese history and has the best tips to avoid lines. We had great time visiting Xi'an city and Terracotta Warriors archeological site.

Highly recommended private tour and Stephanie is awesome. She is local to Xi’an and has so much knowledge about the area and about the history. Stephanie was able to get us front row access to see the terracotta warriors. She customized our tour to what we wanted. She even took photos for us and provided us with plenty of water and fruit. The camel show is also recommended for an additional 300¥ per person but it is well worth it. The communication was outstanding from the beginning., and the driver was very safe. The vehicle was clean and very comfortable. He kept the air conditioner cold in the vehicle for us in 39C and humid weather. You will not be disappointed with this tour! Support this woman owned small business.

Stefanie is a great guide and host. She made our group of seniors and young adults feel very at-home and well looked after. Her explanation of the sites were thorough and clear. We enjoyed ourselves and all went according to plan from the moment she and the driver picked us up till we return to the hotel.

Booked a tour with Stefanie to see the Terracotta Army and Horses Museum and customised an itinerary with her for an outing that included lunch and a visit to the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda. Stefanie was very helpful, arranging to book our tickets in advance and helping to order lunch at a restaurant in the Lintong area. She arrived punctually on the day of the tour with the driver, and the vehicle comfortably accommodated our group of five. Would definitely recommend her services, as getting to and navigating the museum on our own as non-Mandarin speakers would have been quite challenging.
