Free walking tours in Xi’An

A traditional experience you absolutely must try! Thanks to Yunyun, you’ll spend a relaxing time sipping tea and learning the basics of Chinese calligraphy. In addition to the wonderful memory of this activity, you’ll take home a personalized fan, each one featuring a phrase that best represents you and it will be written in Chinese characters under Yunyun’s expert guidance and with her kindness.

I had an amazing time. We tried different food that I would have not tried on my own and also in shops I would have not looked at. In the Muslim quarters there is so much choice that it can be hard to choose. This tour is the best way to get some guidance and authentic experience. Totally recomanded! Also Wenqi has been an amazing person to converse with, have a prospective on how life in china is. Don’t miss this tour!

I had a great night out, exploring local bars and restaurants. I particularly enjoyed the wine tasting.

Ricky was absolutely amazing ! From start to finish, he was knowledgeable, engaging, and full of positive energy. He shared so many fascinating insights that made the experience truly unforgettable. You can tell he genuinely love what he does highly recommend!

Had an absolutely fantastic tour with Ricky ! Ricky is very knowledgeable, gave us many interesting facts about both the Terracotta warriors history but also broader info on Chinese history. Ricky was a real pleasure to interact with and we have learnt a lot from him ! Thanks Ricky for the wonderful time and wishing you all the best ! Note : to anyone who visit the Terracotta museum - I strongly recommend to get this guided tour as if you do it by yourself you ll miss a lot of very interesting information. Also I do recommend after or before the tour with Ricky to go to Leshan park (that is also included in the ticket) and spend another 2 tours there walking along the majestic alleys ! Thanks again Ricky for the wonderful time !

We were a group of 3 people and we chose Ricky because of the excellent reviews of him on Guruwalk. He took us on a 3-hour tour which was light, insightful and very informative. Ricky is very knowledgeable and is clearly at this point personally involved with everything the exhibition has to offer. He will tell stories that span from China’s history to specific events concerning the site, and he will also point best statues, beautiful angles and minute details of some soldiers. There is just so much we would have missed were it not by the tour! I usually book guides because I am very much interested in the information of what I am seeing, interested in the narratives behind it all, and I am so thankful to Ricky for having left the site not only with beautiful pictures, but also with the sensation I know China a little better because of him.

YunYun is extremely friendly and shared great knowledge with us both regarding Chinese food but also any other question we had. It was amazing - highly recommend this tour!

He is the best tour guide!👍 We had so much fun and it was very informative. We learned a lot about Terracotta warriors and horses. He is the best storyteller and a nice guy. 😎 I recommend him 1000%.

Yunyun was nothing short of amazing. She has such a great sense of humour and does such an interesting tour, giving insights into Xi’an history, and Chinese culture in general. To top it off, she speaks perfect English. A clear recommendation when visiting Xi’an.

Very cool tour!

Ricky is a passionate and knowledgeable guide. 100% recomended !

A great storyteller who knew the history og the city and China. We truly enjoyed this walk and think it is one of the best ones we have been on. Full stars are only fair.

We joined this food tour and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! Our guide was incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to answer any questions. She took us to authentic, local places off the usual tourist paths, allowing us to discover the most genuine side of the local cuisine. Each stop on the tour was perfectly chosen — from small historic shops to traditional eateries where the atmosphere felt truly local. The guide not only introduced us to delicious dishes but also shared the stories and traditions behind each recipe, making the whole experience even more engaging and meaningful. You could really feel her passion for her work and her love for the region’s food culture. Everything was well-organized, relaxed, and full of flavor. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to enjoy an authentic experience, discover the city through its food, and spend a few delightful hours with an exceptional guide!

Maravillosa experiencia. Nos llevo a comer a lugares que sino nunca hubiéramos entrado, contándonos historias de la comida y de los lugares. Totalmente recomendable. Una maravillosa guía.

Really good Tour. She is super kind and you see a lot of good restaurants

Yunyun was a great guide. She was enthusiastic and informative. I really recommend her tour to get a deeper understanding of Xi'an !

One of the best Free Walking Tours I had so far. Highly recommend! Yunyun knows a lot about the city and its history, and is a super nice and helpful person.

I can’t say enough positive things about Wenqi. She was so sweet and cheerful, and she had the best energy. She’s from Xi’an so knows the food and area very well. One of the most enjoyable food tours we’d had. I definitely recommend Wenqi!

Ricky was a great guide to have for the Terracotta Warriors! His English is excellent and he was very friendly and helpful. He was patient with our taking pictures and answered all our questions. Would definitely recommend!

This was my fourth visit to the Terracotta Warriors — the last one was in 2013. We happend to meet Ricky at our hotel. He shared fascinating stories about the Warring States period behind the Terracotta Army and even performed a magic trick about the First Emperor — it was truly impressive! So，we invited him to be our guide for this visit. We were amazed by the details we had never heard before. He explained complex things in a simple and interesting way, even connecting them with what’s happening in China today. That’s really rare and valuable. He’s friendly, humorous, and very knowledgeable. We honestly didn’t realize tour guides in China could be this outstanding.

Fun and hystorical ! Really great to discover Xi’an

Definitely a great tour. Yunyun does an amazing job and will take you to very cool places to try different foods plus you can ask her about many others.

Definitely worth it. Great guide with lots of knowledge.

Simply delicious everything !

Entertaining - rich in history, fun facts and stories - best way to explore the site and understand the stories behind ! 👍
