Emperor Qin Shi Huang (259 - 210BC), the first emperor of the first unified dynasty of Imperial China, left the UNESCO World Heritage Site to Xian. You will see a super large collection of life-size terra cotta sculptures in battle formations, reproducing the mega imperial guard troops.

Wonderful experience, to be seen once in a lifetime. Excellent booking service, I booked a long time in advance, then they contacted me directly a few days before to confirm

Celine was amazing! Great communication, easy pick up, and very accomodating when I wanted to be dropped off at a different location on the way back. Also, Celine is very knowledgeable about the Terracotta Army and helped our group avoid the crowds and find the best photo spots. Would definitely recommend!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We are delighted to hear Celine provided you with great communication and smooth pickup service. It’s wonderful that she was flexible to drop you off at your preferred location on the return trip, and shared rich knowledge of the Terracotta Army with your group. We are glad she helped you skip crowds and find perfect photo spots. Thank you for your recommendation, hope you enjoyed your trip in Xi’an and we look forward to serving you again!
The trip was very good and well organized, and it was fantastic to finally see the warriors. Our guide Celine was really skilled and very engaged, which was super nice. She was good at telling us lots of information about the warriors, the emperor, and the time, which made one leave satisfied with lots of new knowledge. She was also super sweet and good at English. I would definitely recommend booking a tour with a guide, as you get much more out of the experience.

Dear valued guests, Thank you very much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that your guide‑Roger was extremely knowledgeable and greatly enhanced your tour of the Terracotta Warriors. It makes us happy you had such an enjoyable visit. Hope you have a pleasant rest of your journey! Best regards,
Situation truly very chaotic, the videos online don't do it justice; at times, unmanageable. But the site is one of the most beautiful, unique, and interesting in the world. Absolutely a must-see... and grit your teeth, because of the chaos.
Dear federicagorii, Thank you very much for your honest feedback on your visit to the Terracotta Warriors. We fully understand that the site can get extremely busy and chaotic at times, which online videos often do not show. We are glad you still think it is one of the most wonderful, unique and fascinating sites in the world and enjoyed your visit. Hope you have a pleasant rest of your journey! Best regards,
The number of people is overwhelming and does not allow you to really understand and savor what you are seeing, even with a guide.
Dear Massimo_b, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We fully understand that heavy crowds can make it challenging to enjoy the visit thoroughly. Your feedback is valuable to us. We will keep taking note of such on-site conditions during the Summer holiday to better inform future travellers. We hope you still got to appreciate the attractions, and we wish you pleasant travels ahead. Best regards,
Everything went as planned. Booking successful and a fantastic experience at the Terracotta Army! I recommend, if you are traveling in the summer, to leave very early, partly because of the heat and partly because there are so many people.
Hi Silvia_B, We truly appreciate your wonderful review! It makes us happy to hear your Terracotta Army reservation was fully successful and you enjoyed this world-famous attraction a lot. Your reminder about heading out early in summer to avoid heat and huge crowds is very valuable for other travelers. Thank you for sharing this practical tip. Looking forward to arranging your tickets and tours again on your next visit! Best Regards
Roger told us a lot of history. There vere just so much noice. Hardt to hear the guid through the earpiece. Would recomend Roger, but they should get better earpieces
Thank you for your review! We're so glad you appreciated Roger's knowledge. Your feedback about the earpieces is incredibly helpful — we'll take it seriously and work on getting better equipment to ensure clearer sound even in crowded, noisy sites. Thank you for recommending Roger, and for helping us get better!
