Itinerary
In the morning, your English speaking guide will pick you up from your Xi’an hotel at 9:00 AM (or your preferred time). Begin the tour with a visit to the world famous Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, often called “the Eighth Wonder of the World.” The museum, discovered in 1974, is one of the most significant archaeological finds of the 20th century. Marvel at the life-sized warriors, horses, and chariots, and learn about the Qin Dynasty and its fascinating history. The intricate sculptures and impressive formations create an unforgettable cultural experience.
After a delicious Chinese-style lunch, continue to visit the Xi’an Ancient City Wall, the largest and best-preserved city wall in China. Originally built during the Ming Dynasty for military defense, the wall offers panoramic views of the city and a glimpse into ancient architecture. For a more interactive experience, travelers have the option to ride a bicycle along the top of the wall (CNY 45 per person, at your own expense), providing a unique perspective of Xi’an’s historic cityscape
Next, visit the Great Mosque of Xi’an, one of the city’s most important Islamic sites. Unlike mosques in the Middle East, this mosque features unique Chinese architectural elements, blending traditional Islamic and Chinese design. Explore the serene courtyards, elegant halls, and intricate artistic details that reflect Xi’an’s rich cultural fusion and centuries of history
After the whole day tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Xi'an.

Mervyn was such a lovely guide and a friendly person that took me on the Muslim quarter food tour and kindly extended my tour into the evening to see the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Lantern festival at the City Wall. Mervyn was so kind to arrange everything for me at the last minute and return me to hotel late at night. Mervyn was knowledgeable and welcoming. Thank you for making my trip to Xi’An memorable ^-^

We had a fantastic time visiting the Terra-Cotta Warriers in large part, because our guide, Joy was so informative and friendly. We really sharpened up on our history of the Chinese dynasties and Joy gave us this education in a way such that we will probably remember what we learned for a long time. We also learned some interesting information about the City Wall and the Muslim quarter and mosque. My wife and I do a lot of traveling and we frequently engage the services of guides. Going to the Terra-Cotta Warriors, we looked for a very good guide and indeed we found one with Joy.
Dear Walter, So grateful for your favorable comments. We are so happy that you enjoyed the terracotta warriors tour with our guide Joy. Joy is very professional and knowledgeable as our former clients complimented her. She really knows her stuff and always tries her best to give customers an unforgettable travelling experience. We are truly proud of her. Thanks again for your recommendation! Hope to provide services for you again on your next China holiday. Sincerely, Lenna | China Xian Tour

We had an extended one day layover in Xi'an so we booked the layover tour through China Xi'an Tour. We were picked up from the airport by Noble and he brought us first to see the Terracotta Warriors. Despite it being a national holiday and very busy, Noble was able to navigate the crowds and give us a ton of history. Afterwards we headed into the old walled city and then to the Muslim Quarter or food street. He then brought us back to the airport with plenty of time to make our connection. We had a great day with Noble and I would highly recommend this tour.

What's more important, many thanks for your recommendation of chinaxiantour. Hope to see you again. Best wishes, Sophia
<p>We had a bit of a disaster the day before our tour, with our flight into Xi'an cancelled. We arranged to take the train that would get us into the city at 11am, which would be late for the tour, and we only had the 1 day in Xi'an before moving onto Beijing. We called the company who organised to collect us from the station and still see the Terracotta Warriors, have lunch and hear the history of the city. Extremely grateful they were so flexible, we would have been gutted if we missed out. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She even stayed with us at the train station at the end of our tour to make sure that wasn't cancelled too! 100 would recommend.</p>
From our initial inquiry, we found the service professional and efficient. Lenna provided clarification and further details on the excursion. On the day of our tour, our guide, Isaac, and the driver, Mr. Qin, were wonderful. Isaac gave very clear and detailed explanations and was energetic and sincere in his delivery. Mr. Qin provided a safe and comfortable travel experience. We had a great day out seeing the highlights of Xi’an and would highly recommend this tour agency!
