Great day out
We just finished our tour with Linda. She was an incredible tour guide. Knowledgeable, kind and very good with our children. She helped us to understand the incredible history of the Terracotta Warriors and she shared her knowledge of the local Xi’an area. She also recommended a place for a delicious lunch. We would recommend her to anyone travelling.

A must visit if in Xi’an
Three of us booked a car with Help of the tour operator in our hotel in the city. We also purchased three adult tickets for 120 cny each. The up and down travel cost was 400 cny. On reaching the site we hired an English speaking guide who took us around the main pit no 1 and pit no 2 and explained everything in good detail. He also said that there are jade mines around that area. On our way back he took us to a jade jewellery shop where we purchased a few jade jewellery , the price of which was much less than in our hotel shop.

Best time with Tina
Our tour guide was TINA and she was the best. They came to pick us up at 8 am in the morning at our hotel with a black car. We drove directly to the terracotta warriors and skipped all lines. Lina explained all the history and once inside she helped us navigating the crowds, pick the best picture spot and took our pictures too. Once the tour was over she took to a local spot for the best Biang biang noodles. We had the best time, cannot recommend this tour and Tina enough!!!
