I’ve toured all over Asia & this was one of the best. Eddie was knowledgeable & accommodating and the driver was always quick and safe. I was one of the first tourists in Pit 1 and during a National holiday, no less! If you want a guide who knows the terrain, offers suggestions & always has a great attitude, this is the tour for you. The Terracotta Warriors are a must-see for everyone.

This trip was an absolute highlight of my time in China. As a non-Chinese speaker, with a limited time to spend in Shaanxi and a strong love of food, it took away the uncertainty and difficulty that often comes with finding the best things to eat and to do off of the well-trod tourist path. The itinerary was a perfect balance of eating, sight-seeing and socialising, covering all of the best-known sights while also veering off into territory no non-local could find. And the food was THE BEST EVER, well-curated, plentiful, and expertly explained by our guide. Thanks @LostPlate.
