Miss Li helped me get this booked and gave me all the info I needed for a great visit to the Terracotta Army. Amazing. Thank you so much!
Great service, tickets were booked reliably with valuable information how to access the site.
Awesome arrangements with clear instructions, everything went seamlessly without a hitch, with the tips and tricks provided to make everything smooth sailing especially when one can be overwhelmed by a very different digital system and huge crowds
The bad experience is for Pelago's lack of/poor assistance for this booking.
