Farmers' Caves

In fact, it was pretty popular back just a few decades ago in Shaanxi Province. Believe or not, the cave dwelling was comfortable. It’s very cool in the hot summer and warm in the winter. Some people in the northern part of Shaanxi province still live in such a way today.

5.00Thanks Cathy, for the amazing tour of the Terracotta Warriors and the mosuluem 💫🌟 Cathy was so friendly, kind and very knowledgeable!! We loved every moment. Cathy taught us some Chinese, we went to a delicious restaurant for lunch and did tea tasting. Cathy’s attention to detail was amazing, she took lots of photos of us and gave us a traditional gift (pomegranate) when the tour ended. Cathy was funny and was so kind. Cathy sent us recommendations for food and places to visit. The driver was also great at navigating the traffic 👏 Thanks again Cathy, we hope to have you again as our tour guide when we return to Xi’an.
Great Trip

5.00I had a wonderful private tour to Hanyangling Museum, terracotta army museum and cave house. The car was big enough for a family, although I did a solo trip. Jackie was my guide who picked me up from my hotel lobby. Jackie is funny, make sure you ask for him. He has lots of knowledge, his English is great. He's attentive, patient, friendly and very helpful. The tour and service exceeded my expectations. After the tour, Jackie explained how to get around using the subway. He didn't need to as the tour had ended and I was already dropped off at my hotel, but that's the type of person he is. Very kind hearted! I highly recommend this company and Jackie as your tour guide!
Fantastic!!! If I could give more stars I would!! ✨️

5.00Communication was excellent. Our driver and tour guide met us at our Hotel and were amazing from the start. The vehicle was perfect for our tour. Jane our English speaking guide was fun and had us hanging on to every word as she went through the history of Xi'an. We had a great day and we feel so lucky to have booked this service.

5.00Shine - our guide - truly shone. She is knowledgeable, patient and caring with the elderly in our group. Our itinerary was Terracotta Warriors, local cave house, lunch and Hanyanling tomb. It was a perfectly balanced tour. Despite the crowd at Terracotta Warriors, Shine always manages to find us a spot to view and give us insightful information. The local cave house was just a pit stop right outside the Terracotta Warriors. Lunch was at a restaurant frequented by locals, with excellent food. None of the tourist trap commission-bassd vibes Hanyanling was an underrated treasure. The museum was built in the early 2000s, with the latest technology to protect the relics while bringing the public closer (eye level) to them. Truly amazing.
Great day around Xi’an!

5.00Such a wonderful day spent with our guide Cathy, who introduced us in the world of chinese history. Very well organized, the tour allowed us to also be a part of a tea ceremony. Our guide even helped us get to the station, we had a train to catch. I highly recommand Cathy, you will have a great day of finding out old and new things about China, in a very good English and a friendly atmosphere!
See the best of Xi'an!

5.00An excellent tour to pack in a bunch of must see sights in Xi'an! You can't not do the Terracotta Warriors, so why not throw in a couple of other interesting sights while you are at it. Michael our guide was highly knowledgable, flexible and well organised, making our tour both interesting and enjoyable at the same time. The lunch part way through the tour was delicious too! We would highly recommend this tour!
