Wonderful!

Best decision ever! Our guide, Lily, made the Terracotta Warriors come alive with her stories—felt like I was in an action movie, lol. Cycling the City Wall at sunset? Pure magic. Just wish we had more time. 10/10 would repeat!
Excelent experience

感動しました！The guide, Emily, explained everything in clear English and even shared little-known facts. The Terracotta Warriors’ details… unbelievable. City Wall cycling was fun, but bring a hat—sun was strong.
