8 hours touring Xi'an
Timothy_B, October 2026
My wife and I booked a small-group day trip with Rita this week, and it was fantastic! The itinerary covered all the major highlights—the Terracotta Warriors, the City Wall, and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda—all without any mandatory shopping stops. This was my first time in Xi'an, and I am so glad we connected with Rita. With over 20 years of experience guiding thousands of visitors, her expertise really showed. She speaks excellent English, has incredible energy, and made our 9-hour tour seamless and highly enjoyable. The logistics were smooth, with hotel pickup around 7:30 AM and drop-off back at the Sheraton around 5:30 PM. It hits all the top sights efficiently, making it perfect if you only have a few days in Xi'an. I highly recommend booking with Rita when you visit

Fantastic Day in Xi’an with Jacky
ethanfR7005CK, October 2026
Jacky made my day/entire trip in Xi'an. The Terracotta Army was the highlight, and having a knowledgeable guide there made it far more meaningful than just walking through on my own. We also visited the Pagoda and the City Wall, both beautiful, and the day was well paced so it never felt rushed. He finished by dropping me off at the Muslim Quarter, which was the perfect way to end the day. Friendly, informative, and easy to spend a day with. Highly recommend booking with Jacky if you're visiting Xi'an.
Response from the operator · tcgtours1997
Thank you so much for this lovely review about your Xi’an tour with Jacky! We are thrilled to hear Jacky made your whole trip so memorable. It’s wonderful that his in-depth knowledge made your visit to the Terracotta Army much more meaningful. We are glad you also enjoyed the Pagoda and City Wall with a well-paced tour without feeling rushed, and that he dropped you off at the Muslim Quarter as a perfect ending to your day. We will pass your warm compliments to Jacky. Hope you had a fantastic time in Xi’an!
