Wendy is an awesome guide. She is patience and took care of our needs throughout the whole tour. She is articulate and her knowledge of history was excellent...
Excellent tour guide was exceptional in coping with Golden Week crowds and we managed to see everything Car and driver also very good..
Worst tour so far for me and family because when finish guide dont want send back to hotel (she tell to go by taxi) 1. Guide good when welcoming us in hotel 2. first we go banpo village guide ok, explain enough info 3. In shop she so patient waiting (no limit time for sure) in coach she offering dance dinner tang dynasti and we agree buy 4 tickets for our family 4. arrive terracotta and lunch before go inside, lunch good 5. go terracotta before she offering rent audio support because she sure we cannot listen her voice during inside terracotta (why company not include this things in package if every guide sure we cannot listen her explanation inside?) finally every phase she just explain 2-3 minutes and give free time and tell the meeting points. she look tired already and not focus. 6. finish terracotta, my uncle feel tired and cancel go tang dynasti dance and want company send him back to hotel (other 3 still go tang dance)without asking any money back (we pay 4 tickets already) and guide say ok. 7. Bus go from terracotta and guide forget 2 people still inside and not in the coach, guide not counting and pay attention to all customers in coach. coach u turn again and waiting 2 people. 8. after some way and i check google map only 13 mins to my hotel, guide coming and tell to my uncle to go by taxi, she cannot send him to hotel because traffic and to hotel still 30 mins and other need to go tang dynasti in time (even we booking tour pick up and send back to hotel and tang dynasti only optional) so you must go down, find taxi byself to back hotel in CHINA. 9. we deciding go down all and guide start to speak rude and tell everybody to back to coach and she will send to hotel, she not thinking what she do before and know she panic. we just go and asking our money tang dynasti back...
The tour was really good. The pick-up was on time, the guide speaks very good English and knows a lot of stuff. They go "extra mile" just to make you happy with the tour...
Nancy, our Tour Leader was knowledgeable and professional. She made the Tour fun and interesting...
The terra cotta army museum was spectacular. the guide, Candy, picked us from the hostel on time and her English was mostly comprehensible. She was a good guide as she took good care of us. She gave us a free guided tour of the city as we went around fetching the other tourists from other hotels in the city. She helped us to resolve our problem with the company because my handphone didn't work in China. The lunch was really good and the Banpo Neolithic Museum was not worth seeing. It was a good experience and I recommend Xian, a truly lovely city...

Guide very good and entnhousistic. Makes the difference. Banpo absolutely worth while but a little short. Visit to ceramic terra cotta factory was a disaster. About 2 minutes explanation and after that .... Buy!!! Terra Cotta Army fabulous. Over all trip well organized and handled...
It was drizzling on and off during our visit to the Terracotta Warriors. However, our guide was so enthusiastic and we almost forgot about being wet. She spoke understandable English and she would always ask if we understood what she was explaining. She was very knowledgeable about the Terracotta Warriors and the Banpo people. It was a bonus to be able to see an ancient settlement site of Chinese ancestors. The Terracotta Warriors was impressive, but it was too crowded and we had a time limit, a little rushed. Lunch was okay but we thought there was only soup and some appetizers. We thought we were finished with lunch and 3 more dishes came - we had to request for rice. Overall, there tour site was impressive, the tour guide was excellent and lunch was mediocre...

My tour guide was very nice and knowledgable. He answered all questions without annoyance and spoke english very well. Did not push us to buy anything at the shops we stopped at which was very nice. The underground palace was an incredible waste of time. It's creepy and "what they think the tomb looks like from what they have read". The lunch as good and full filling. The Banpo village was a treat when we thought it would be a waste of time as well. A trip worth the money though. We had a small van and had about 7 people not including the driver or tour guide...
We were only 3 people on the tour. Our tour guide Diana was very good. She called me promptly in the morning to tell me that due to traffic, I would be picked up 10 minutes late so I knew that everything was okay. Her knowledge and explanations were clear and she answered any questions that we had without problem. I and my companions each had different food requirements and she made sure to order dishes for the Chinese lunch (that was included in the tour) according to what each of us required. The tour made it is easy for us to see all the sights which were also outside the city. I am glad that I took this tour and would recommend as a good way to see the Terra-cotta Warriors in particular...
A nice tour which is a full day and worth the price. It is much easier and more convenient to be driven around these places than to try to do it alone. It would be an hassle to even attempt it. The tour guide was very informative about all the places we visited and was able to answer all questions. I would recommend this tour to anyone.This is my second time with this company and as a satisfied customer on a Beijing tour I decided to use Chinatour.Net again. they are very professional with pick up times and organisation in terms of booking and confirmation. What makes it easier is that you can pay in cash on the day. highly recommended!..
It was a great tour with a small bus and with only 2 tourists. We had a very nice guide! The driver drove carfully. We were picked up very punctual. The most interesting things were the reconstructed Terra-cotta Warriors. Only the lunch was very simple but I didn´t need a big meal...
We liked this tour. We are satisfied with our tour guide. You can see our holiday pictures on; http://www.ismailtezcan.com/cn12x.html..
This was my second tour with ChinaTour.Net after the fantastic experience in Beijing. The tour was as much fun as I expected it to be. I like to go by coach tours because of the different people that you meet. Here too, there was another fun couple that we got to know and had fun with. The guide Yang Lu was very knowledgable and helpful. She could communicate very well in english and was fun to talk to. When it got too late to visit the pagoda due to traffic, she offered to take us to the place later or return the money. We also got the tour customized to see the Tang Dynasty Show, end we enjoyed every bit of it. All in all, I was very satisfied with the tour and would definitely recommend it to others...
