We had a wonderful half-day private tour to the Terracotta Army with Mason. Although our trip was short and we only visited the Terracotta Army, we had a really great time. Mason’s English is excellent. He speaks fluently and clearly, so communication was very easy. He knows Qin history very well. He explained the stories of Emperor Qin Shi Huang and the terracotta warriors in a vivid way, not just reading a boring script. Mason’s service was also fantastic. He was punctual, patient and professional. He guided us through the museum, answered all our questions, and never rushed us. He perfectly handled our tight schedule. This short tour became a memorable experience. We highly recommend Mason as a private guide in Xi’an. We would love to book him again if we return. Best Tour Guide 5stars

Our family group of 10 recently booked the Xi'an Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum Ticket for a private tour, and we were absolutely delighted with the experience! Managing a large family group is no easy task, but our tour guide, Miss Jing, handled us flawlessly from start to finish. Her knowledge of the Qin Terracotta Army site is truly unmatched. Miss Jing was incredibly meticulous in explaining every single detail, bringing the rich history and scale of the warriors to life. She was patient, accommodating, and made sure everyone in our family was captivated the entire time. Outstanding service and a massive thumbs up from all ten of us. We are so glad we booked this private tour and highly recommend requesting Miss Jing as your guide!

We have an amazing private tour group of four. Our tour guide was exemplary as our experiences in this tour. We’ve been in so many countries and this surpassed all our expectations. Our english tour guide sir Kenneth explain very well almost everything about the history of Terracota. and Hua Qing Palace yes great. We love the place. We all say this was Amazing😍😍😍 We would like to go back here in this place Xian. It’s reach in culture and fantastic experiences. The driver yes he is also very good. He assisted us in going to Ancient Guanyin Zen Temple and Ancient City Wall. Thank so much guys especially to our virtual manager in this tour. It’s worth it. Salute to all of you🎉👏🏻

Definately worth it where I spend quite a while in all the exhibition halls. Must be early to queue despite given the schedule on the entry time slot. I got the ticket from Klook quite easy & convenient. Local tour agent keep me updated. TIcket price is reasonable & value for money for th equality & exhibits in this museum. The layout gives a very good flow on timeline & the evolution of human history, characters, constructions, economics, cultures and many more. A must visit if you appreciate history. Facilities are great & is very near to the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda.

We had a wonderful day trip to Mount Hua from Xi’an. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking and definitely one of the highlights of our trip! Special thanks to our guide, 上官导游 Ginny, who was very friendly, patient and helpful throughout the entire journey. She explained the arrangements and different Mount Hua routes clearly, helped us with the tickets and transfers, and made sure everyone knew where to go and what time to meet. Everything was well organised, which made visiting Mount Hua much easier and less stressful, especially with the different shuttle buses and cable cars involved. Ginny was attentive throughout the trip and always made sure everyone was accounted for and comfortable. We chose the West Peak cable car up and down (西上西下) route and had enough time to enjoy the beautiful scenery at our own pace. Mount Hua itself is spectacular and definitely worth visiting when you are in Xi’an. Overall, it was a smooth and memorable experience!

Booking on Klook is easy. I booked the first show (8.10pm in June) Central District. Different timing in different timing, because they need to wait for sun to set. Seat number was stated on the paper ticket and I was on the last row. Still decent view I feel. A show with combination of laser, lights, water, fire and of course the performers. Show your passport/ID to exchange for physical tickets at ticketing counter. Pass through security scanning in two separate lines (male and female). Enter the seating area by following the signage. Different area has different stairs, your ticket will indicate 单/双. Many people but crowd clears fast. Plenty of leg room in front of the seats (enough space for people to walk comfortably in front of the seats) If possible, arrive earlier as there are some 'talkshows' before the actual performance start.

We really enjoyed our Terracotta Warriors tour with Klook! Our guide, Luna, gave detailed and engaging explanations that helped us understand the history and appreciate what we were seeing. She was kind, friendly, and genuinely attentive throughout the tour. Thank you, Luna, for making our visit such a memorable experience. We highly recommend this tour 😊

It aas easy to get in and explore the city wall. To activate your ticket, you need to go to the ticket office first to get a paper ticket. (no extra payment needed) If you go in summer, like I did, bring some heat essentials like electrolytes, enough water (even though you can buy soke here too, just more expensive), a battery powered fan and a manual one if the battery runs out.
