Xi'an: Exclusive Terracotta Army Tour & Local Family Lunch

We had an amazing experience with Andy as our tour guide at the Terracotta Warriors. He was incredibly knowledgeable and explained the history in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand. I was up directly from our hotel, which made everything so convenient. The highlight of the day was definitely the traditional lunch at his family home — all the dishes were authentic, freshly prepared, and absolutely delicious, cooked by his mother and aunt! The tour was small and intimate, which made it even more enjoyable. It allowed everyone to interact easily, share the experience, and even make some new friendly connections along the way. The tour was perfectly organised from start to finish. Andy even recommended for few of us to be dropped off at a different location so we could explore more on foot, including a walk around the city wall and a visit to a pagoda. Overall, a flawless experience. 5 stars to Andy and his entire team — highly recommended!

The guide Andy was exceptional; he was able to accompany us in the best possible way during the visit to the Terracotta Army. He was very knowledgeable and guided us through the visit with his explanations, without ever being overbearing or boring. He knows the place well and knows the best places to stop. Without him, it wouldn't have been the same. The family lunch at his parents' house was very pleasant; we had a great meal. The transportation was perfect. They picked us up right on time according to the schedule agreed upon the day before. Highly recommended!

It was an unforgettable experience. Our guide Andy was extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful. Thanks to his tips, we managed to skip the queues and get close to the Terracotta Army, allowing us to see it in the best possible way. Since our hotel was located in the Muslim Quarter, the bus picked us up just a 5-minute walk away, which was convenient and punctual. The lunch at Andy’s parents’ home was delicious and well arranged, and his parents were very kind and friendly. Highly recommended!

Fantastic Terracotta Army Experience with Andy I had a wonderful day visiting the Terracotta Army with Andy as our guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole experience really enjoyable. His explanations brought the history and story of the Terracotta Army to life, and he was happy to answer questions. The highlight for me was also getting to experience a genuine meal with Andy’s family, loving cooked and served by his mum & dad, it was a lovely way to experience a little more of the local culture and enjoy some delicious food. Andy was attentive throughout the day and made everything feel relaxed and easy. As a solo traveller, I really appreciated how welcoming and comfortable he made me feel.
