The eighth wonder
We had booked tickets for 10am, but Li, the person from the agency we interacted with, convinced us to show up at the gates before the opening and did very well: we enjoyed this wonder with an acceptable temperature and a manageable amount of people. In addition, Li provided us with useful guidance to manage the visit independently. Very satisfied!!!

Tour operator very well
We recommend using Sunflower tours to book tickets: this is a significant time saving especially in August when Chinese schoolchildren and students are on holiday.
Nothing wrong with the performance. Sunflower Tours stayed in touch with us throughout the preparation of the trip and gave us valuable guidance to enjoy this tour as much as possible.

EXCELLENT TOUR AND GUIDE
We were a group of 8 - friends & families - coming from Beijing in the night train. We visited Big Goose Pagoda in the morning and Terracota Warriors in the afternoon. Perfect timing for visits and time to rest, set up by Nancy. She was a superb guide, extremely professional and providing all kinds of collateral information that is necessary for westerners (from Portugal, by the way) to understand better what we were visiting. Good lunch at a recommended restaurant and we were also left with time to make some shopping (I purchased one big terracota warrior, very nice at home now that I´m back).
We were left in the railway station to catch thr night train to Shangai and Nancy stayed with us intil we boarded the train.
Excellent tour, professional guide, good value for the money.
