Lucia was my guide for the morning and the half day tour of the Pagoda and history museum were a perfect complement to a full day tour of the terra-cotta warriors. Lucia was very knowledgeable of the pieces in the history museum as well as the Buddhist history of the pagoda. Great tour!

Great half day tour based within central Xi'an which is a good complement to a longer separate tour to see the Terracotta Warriors. Experienced and friendly guide, recommended.

Very disappointing. When we were at the museum, the tour guide expected us to wait in line because the first 2000 people had free entrance to the museum. We paid extra so as not to wait. I believe that wen I book a tour with a company everthing is included and not have to pay my own entrance fee to the sites. The tour guide rushed us through the tour. The tours my be boring for the tour guide but for us, we expect to be give the necessary time to see the sites. I will never book another tour with your company.
