The Terracotta Warriors are considered as one of the eighth wonder in the world. Since their discovery in 1974, more than 8,000 soldiers, 670 horses, and 130 chariots have been unearthed. Each warrior is unique, with distinct facial features and heights, though the average height is 6 feet (1.85 meters). Now there are total 3 pits covering over 22,000 square metres where all these warriors are buried and 1 hall for the bronze chariots and horses.
The Big Wild Goose Pagoda was built in 652AD. It was built to store the scriptures and statues Master Xuanzang had brought back from India. You will have an acquaintance with the Buddhist temple in China and the pagoda, and get to know how did the Buddhism come to China in the history. If you like, you may ascend to the top of the ancient wooden-and-brick pagoda and have a bird’s eye view of the cityscape around. Music fountain show in the the North Square is quite amazing, considered as the largest music fountain in Asia. It is nice to stroll around both north and south square of the pagoda, view the beautiful garden and local people dancing in the square sometimes.
Xi'an City Wall is one of the most extensive and best-preserved defensive walls in the world. It was renovated in Ming Dynasty, over 600years old, to defend the ancient capital against foreign invaders. A deep moat surrounds the structure, which at its base measures 15 to 18 meters thick. It stands 12 meters tall, and the 98 ramparts each had its own sentry building, allowing soldiers to protect the entire length of the wall without having to expose themselves. It is possible to ride a bike around the 14km wall.
Stroll around the Muslim Quarter, sample local delicious snacks and view all kinds of beautiful and unique souvenirs. The food and the local people in the Muslim Quarter seem very attractive for most visitors.

I made the reservation and paid the indicated price, a few days before they wrote to me saying that the price written was not correct and that I had to pay 45 dollars more for the service in Spanish, I am sorry for what I had reserved from the beginning. They just told me that if I didn't want to I could cancel and look for another option, which was no longer possible because I was traveling and had no time available to look for other options. The guide was good but that's why I give it a bad grade.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for the confusion regarding the pricing. Spanish-speaking guides do have an additional cost of 45 USD/day compared to English-speaking guides, which should have been communicated more clearly at the time of booking. We understand this caused inconvenience, especially during your trip. We’re glad to hear you were satisfied with our Spanish speaking guide, and we will work to improve our communication to avoid similar situations in the future.
The tour was not in Spanish but a very knowledgeable person gave us the tour and arranged it so that we could make the most of our time... there was also a lot of support and organization from the agency
Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed the tour and truly appreciate your willingness to recommend us to your friends and family who may travel to China in the future. We are committed to always providing professional and efficient tour services.
Wendy was excellent, she’s very knowledgeable about Xian history. I learned so much from her, knowing the history behind what you see makes the experience much more enjoyable and interesting.
It was an amazing experience to explore the Terracotta Army. The guide was very informative and I really can recommend this tour.
This was our second visit to Xi’an. Cindy was our guide in Xi'an and I cannot speak highly enough of her! She organised transport for us and gave us suggestions of places to visit and eat while we were not with her. Cindy was very accommodating, even finding me a local laundry and picking up my clean clothes at the end of the day! She was flexible and keen to please, very knowledgeable about Xi'an and happy to share much of her knowledge with us. She is a great guide and I wish her every success!
