Great experience. I...
Great experience. I accidentally put in the wrong passport number to book tickets and they responded quickly however we ended up buying a new one. They were able to give me a partial refund. Fast responses
Operator response
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad we could quickly help with the passport mistake and arrange a partial refund for the wrong booking—even though our usual policy only allows free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance. It’s all part of the service we provide beyond just tickets. Hope to see you again soon!

A wonder revealed
It was a real pleasure to meet Mr Yang after seeing the warriors.
The whole story is fantastic. The detail in the sculpture of each unique warrior. The fact that there was no record of the existence of the site. The discovery by a farmer digging his well , such an everyday act, yet yielding extraordinary wonder.
Operator response

A quick tip for future visitors: when you book through us, there's no need to exchange tickets – just go straight to the entrance and scan your passport. So don't forget to bring it with you!

Great trip
Great experience, however we were lucky enough to be approached by a Chinese lady who spoke English and knew where to go and provided us with hearing aids so that we could listen to her explanations. I would recommend booking a guide or getting one when you get to the entrance. It made life so much easier.

You buy a day ticket - without a timeslot!
There is no timeslot. I had booked from 3pm. Thought I would have indicated them only from 3pm admission and only for a certain time. This is wrong. You can use the ticket all day and there are no slots where you can only be in the park. I was very late and therefore had an extremely crowded park and little time (5pm is closing)
For this misinformation, I get only 3 out of 5 stars.
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback. We would like to clarify that the ticket booked was a general admission "day pass," which typically allows flexible entry any time during opening hours, not only from 3:00 PM.
We understand your disappointment about the crowds and limited time. During peak seasons, securing tickets is very challenging, and we were glad to have successfully obtained yours. For the best experience, we always recommend an early arrival.
We appreciate your business and hope to serve you better in the future.
Best regards

Terracotta Warriors
An absolutely fantastic experience. Our guide Angie was excellent, incredibly knowledgeable, charming and so special to share this wonderful experience with her. The trip was certainly worth it and we had the opportunity to view the short movie which was outstanding and allowed us to have our faces put into the various warriors outfits. The driver was delightful, drove well and the car was modern and super clean. Angie recommended the cultural dance and music performance in Xi’an which we decided to do that evening. It was also worth going too. Highly recommend this experience. Thanks Angie for a wonderful day.
Operator response

We've passed your heartfelt thanks along to Angie – she'll be so happy! We truly appreciate your high recommendation.
