Free walking tours in Xi’An

I had the pleasure of visiting the Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an with an amazing guide. He was very helpful, guiding us with professionalism and warmth throughout the entire visit. His explanations were clear, engaging, and full of fascinating details about the site's history. He also gave us great tips on how to make the most of our time in the city. It was a truly enriching experience, made even better by his passion and knowledge. Highly recommended!

Yunyun was very nice, interesting and ready to answer to all our questions during the tour. We appreciated her knowledge about Xi'an and how passionate she is about her city and China. Recommended for sure!

I had a very engaging and informative experience. Ricky took the time to explain the broader history of China, which helped me to put the Army of the Terracotta warriors in context. His explanation was very clear and easy to understand. My visit was during high season and the area was very crowded. Ricky observed the crowd and adapted the sequence of the different pits accordingly. He managed to do this quiet smoothly without impacting the experience. His approach was quiet informal, which made it feel like I was doing the visit with a friend (and not a distant guide).

Abbiamo molto apprezzato il tour effettuato! Abbiamo prima visitato il museo e imparato i tratti principali dei guerrieri e le curiosità per poi entrare nei vari padiglioni e scoprire l’esercito. È stato un gran bel tour

Really nice tour held by Ricky! He gave us rich explanations about China history, culture and the Terracota Army. He also helped us get the best spots to see the army! Highly recommended!

We took part in a tea ceremony with Yunyun, and it was an unforgettable experience. With her kindness and passion, she guided us through a fascinating journey into Chinese tea culture. We had fun, learned a lot, and felt truly enriched. One of the most beautiful memories of our trip to China. We highly recommend this experience to everyone.

El tour fue estupendo. Yunyun explicó de forma inmejorable todo lo importante de la ciudad y nos conto muchas curiosidades. Fue un tour que nos ayudó mucho a entender Xian y la cultura china. Lo recomiendo al 100% ❤️

Tour muy entretenido. Yunyun es una guía muy profesional y nos transmitió todo con emoción. También nos dio consejos sobre comida y restaurantes. Nos quedamos muy satisfechos y recomendamos.

Прекрасная экскурсия рекомендую к посещению

Spending a few hours with a Chinese family, cooking together, chatting, and strolling through the local market was an incredibly special experience. The family’s hospitality, the laughter we shared, and the genuine connections we made truly touched us. The food was absolutely spectacular — juicy meat, fresh vegetables, delicious dumplings, tasty noodles, and perfectly prepared traditional eggs. We learned so much in many different ways, far beyond just cooking. Thank you for leaving such a meaningful mark on our experience and our trip. We will never forget this!

Amazing experience with a lovely guide! The tea was so tasty and she is so patient teaching the art of caligraphy and answering all of our questions. A visit we will never forget!

Amazing walking tour with Yunyun in Xi’an! We were a group of five and had such a great time. We tried different foods — spicy and non-spicy — all delicious! She also pointed out great places to eat that we didn’t enter and perfect spots for photos. Along the way, she shared interesting facts about Xi’an’s history, which was a big plus. We loved the calligraphy, the tea, and the small surprise at the end. Yunyun was professional, kind, funny, and made the whole experience both informative and really fun. Highly recommended!

We are a couple and joined Wenqi’s small-group food tour in Xi’an (less than 10 people). She adapted everything to my gluten-free & vegetarian needs while keeping it varied and delicious for everyone. We visited authentic spots, some over 100 years old, and learned fascinating history along the way. Wenqi is warm, charming, and speaks excellent English. This tour completely changed how we see Chinese cuisine — highly recommended!

The experience was incredible, Wenqi made us discover really delicious food and of all kinds. Highly recommended!

Fue una experiencia muy positiva. Ricky sabe muchísimo y lo explica muy bien, además de demostrar un entusiasmo maravilloso, tanto por la historia como por su trabajo como guía. Sin duda lo recomiendo 100%!!

No sabemos muy bien ingles y aun asi fue estupendo. Ricky sabe muchisimo y además nos guió para no juntarnos con multitudes (necesario en China). Nos explico tanto la historia como detalles de las estatuas, cultura China… 100% recomendable para visitar los Guerreros de Terracota!

It was amazing. The calligraphy, the tea, she was so professional, kind and funny. We talked and learn about a lot of thing!!!

Wenqi is an excellent food guide! We had a fantastic night eating our way through the Muslim quarter in Xi'an. Every dish was a hit - some I had heard of already, others she newly introduced to me which was a great experience I never would have had without doing this tour. We also had a really great time chatting with Wenqi about life in china and all sorts of things, she is super fun! Highly recommend this tour to anyone! Come hungry though - she's not kidding about Xi'an being the carb kingdom

Excellent walking tour. Informative and interesting. Recommended!

Il tour culinario con Dafe è stata un’esperienza davvero speciale, che va ben oltre il semplice corso di cucina. Non solo imparerete a preparare piatti tipici di Xi'an, ma vivrete un’autentica immersione nella cultura e nell’ospitalità della sua famiglia. Dafe ci ha accolti con un calore unico e l'accoglienza dei suoi genitori lo hanno reso davvero indimenticabile. La mamma di Dafe, con la sua incredibile abilità, ci ha insegnato a fare i ravioli e i noodles fatti in casa, guidandoci passo dopo passo con pazienza e sorrisi. È stato affascinante vedere come tradizione e amore per la cucina si unissero in ogni gesto. Ma non è solo la cucina a rendere questo tour speciale: l’intera famiglia ci ha trattato come parte della loro, facendoci sentire a casa sin dal primo momento. Da non dimenticare le chiacchierate con suo papà accompagnati da vini locali davvero ottimi. Il pranzo, condiviso tutti insieme, è stato il momento culminante. Gusto, calore umano e risate: un'esperienza che ci ha fatto sentire davvero parte della famiglia di Dafe. Se cercate un'esperienza autentica, che mescola cibo, tradizione e accoglienza sincera, questo tour è un must

Se cercate una guida che non sia solo esperta, ma anche capace di rendere ogni storia viva e coinvolgente, Ricky è la scelta giusta. Non si limita a raccontare fatti e date: riesce a trasportarvi nel passato con le sue narrazioni ricche di emozione e dettagli, facendovi sentire parte della storia dei Guerrieri di Terracotta. La sua passione per la cultura cinese è evidente in ogni parola, e la sua capacità di rendere interessanti anche gli aspetti più complessi è davvero rara. Ricky non è solo una guida turistica, è un vero storyteller, capace di tenere alta l'attenzione e di farvi appassionare a ogni aneddoto. Se volete un tour che non sia solo informativo Ricky è un must. Un’esperienza che non dimenticherete facilmente!

Gracias Wenqi, ha sido un placer pasar la tarde del domingo con vosotros en familia. Has sido una persona muy agradable y nos has hecho sentir como en casa. Sin duda una experiencia increíble para disfrutar de la gastronomía China, y conocer más sobre la cultura de este país. Una experiencia recomendada sin duda y la comida INCREÍBLE. Así como la comunicación que fue increíble. Thank you Wenqi, it was a pleasure spending Sunday afternoon with you and your family. You were such a kind person and made us feel at home. Without a doubt, an incredible experience to enjoy Chinese cuisine and learn more about the culture of this country. An experience we definitely recommend — and the food was AMAZING! As well as the communication, which was excellent.

It was like going out with a friend. It was very nice to have a small environement to get to know a local and experience Xian with what felt like a friend. In our case it was not about the touristic places but about the conversations we shared.

Ricky fue un gran guía durante nuestra visita. A pesar de la multitud, fue capaz de mantenernos muy atentos a todas las explicaciones e hizo la visita muy amena evitando agobios por las aglomeraciones. Tiene un gran nivel de historia y mucho conocimiento, aprendimos muchísimo de los guerreros y de la historia de China en general. Además es muy simpático y amigable. Recomiendo mucho hacer la visita con él.

We had an amazing experience on the free tour of the Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an thanks to him. His deep knowledge of the site and its history truly brought everything to life, and it’s clear that he is extremely passionate about what he does. His English was excellent: clear, fluent, and easy to understand. On top of that, his kindness and attentiveness were exceptional. He went above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable for all of us. We would 100% do this tour again without hesitation!
