Itinerary
Emperor Qin Shi Huang (259 - 210BC), the first emperor of the first unified dynasty of Imperial China, left the UNESCO World Heritage Site to Xian. You will see a super large collection of life-size terra cotta sculptures in battle formations, reproducing the mega imperial guard troops. Being the most significant archeological excavations of the 20th century, the Terracotta Army is no doubt a must-see for every visitor to Xi'an.

Celine was an absolute star. She was very knowledgeable and so enthusiastic, we were all so eager to find out more not just about the Terra-cotta warriors but about China in general. She made a difference and we definitely enjoyed our day out with her!

The Terracotta Warriors and the Qin dynasty is, I think, one of the fundamental ways to help understand China as a country and well worth a visit. The magnitude and scale is mind blowing.
Dear Gwaredd_M, Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We’re thrilled you had such an impressive experience visiting the Terracotta Warriors. It truly is an iconic treasure that perfectly showcases the glorious history of the Qin Dynasty and ancient Chinese civilization. The grand scale of this wonder always leaves visitors amazed.

You have to see it to believe how incredibly special this place is and what a lot of professionals must have worked on this. Even on a quiet day is quite busy by our standards but a matter of patience and then there is a hole on the railing to get a perfect view of the thousands of images. For convenience, take a taxi instead of metro/bus, is not expensive and saves a lot of waiting.
Dear Anton_van_G, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your visit to the Terracotta Warriors was such an incredible experience. You couldn't be more right—seeing those thousands of unique statues in person is truly a "see it to believe it" moment, and we're so glad our team could help secure your tickets to witness this breathtaking historical wonder firsthand. The sheer scale and craftsmanship of the Qin Dynasty artisans never fail to leave visitors in awe! We also appreciate your practical tip about taking a taxi instead of public transport; it’s always great when guests share helpful advice with fellow travelers to make their journey smoother. Your patience in finding that perfect spot by the railing to take in the magnificent view definitely paid off! It was our absolute pleasure to assist you with your booking. Should you need any further recommendations or assistance during your stay in Xi'an, please don't hesitate to reach out. We wish you many more unforgettable moments on your trip! Warm regards,

This is simply transport and tickets. There was no guide. We got a guide separately at the museum. You can buy the tickets yourself, and easily arrange the transport from any sensible hotel or the Didi app.
Dear Saqib_Q, We notice you chose the ticket-only option, which does not include any tour guide service as clearly stated. Tickets often sell out quickly during peak seasons, so we always recommend all guests book in advance to avoid any unexpected troubles and uncertainties. We are glad that the tickets we reserved for you worked perfectly well. Hope to have the pleasure to serve you again in the future. Best Regards,
