Free tours a Xi'an

Our visit to the Terracotta Warriors was made unforgettable by our guide, Ricky. His knowledge about the history, discovery, and significance of the warriors was truly profound. Ricky explained the entire complex history in incredible detail, sharing insights we would have otherwise missed. If you are visiting this incredible site, we highly recommend Ricky for an in-depth and informative tour!

Amazing experience. Very in depth detailed explanation and historic references.

Very informed and learned a lot about not just foods, but modern day culture of people too!

What an incredible tour, we were genuinely lucky to have Wenqi as our guide. She showed us the best food spots in the Muslim Quarter and made every stop feel effortless and fun. She was absolutely lovely, patient, knowledgeable, and had such great energy. She even became our national hero when one of our friends forgot his backpack at the Xi’an train station, Wenqi handled everything like a pro. We truly miss her! Would book with her again in a heartbeat next time we’re in Xi’an. You’d be crazy not to do a tour with her.

Professional guide with clear communication who also provided information after the tour.

Yun Yun took us through the history of Xian and clearly explained the links between the sights and dynasties involved. We learnt a lot from her. She was patient, friendly and was a wealth of information. Highly recommend!

A most enjoyable and informative tour on my first morning in Xi'an. It helped greatly that Yunyun has experience of leading tours in Europe as it gives her an opportunity to contextualise Chinese and Western history. But it wasn't all history as Yunyun talked about current social and economic issues in China. Overall, this walking tour was a great introduction to Xi'an and I would highly recommended Yunyun as a tour guide with almost fluent English 👏👏

The guide was fantastic. Very friendly and excellent English. Set the scene for Xi'an really well and had good recommendations!

Very good and comprehensive tour with lot of details and information about the history of the site. We enjoyed very much the in depth knowledge of our guid and his emotional link to the Terracotta Museum

We had the best tour with Wenqui, she was the perfect host! The food was amazing and we learnt a lot about Xians cuisine, culture and traditions. Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the city!

Had a great tour with Ricky, we were lucky that there wasn't a lot of tourists in the late afternoon of a Tuesday. A really amazing story behind the terracotta warriors and the first emperor of China

Wei Qi was very bubbly and positive vibes showing us the good local authentic Xi An local cuisines and street food

my first walking tour after travelling in 30 countries. yunyun is super knowledgable and speaks great english!

Yunyun was absolutely incredible! So so knowledgeable and she gave us so many facts about Xi'an. I was blown away by the amount of things we saw and learnt from her tour and how much I have taken away. Yunyun also answered all the questions we had and later sent us food and shopping recommendations. This was definitely one of the best walking tours I've been to! 10/10 would recommend! Thank you Yunyun!

Ricky made the tour fun and really entertaining. We were super lucky to actually enjoy a private tour. It's so crowded at the site that it was actually very nice to only try and keep up with three people. Ricky knew great sports and insights on the history. Thank you again! 😊

Fabulous

Gran profesional

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!

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.
