Itinerary
Your tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Xian and take you to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum. It will take around 1.5 hours to reach there. You will see the three excavated pits. Also have a visit to the newly opened exhibition with many undisclosed collections. Follow your guide to know more about its history and culture. You will have at least two and a half hours to explore this significant site.
Drive you back to the downtown and the tour continues with a visit to the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, which is a major participant along the Silk Road in translating and introducing Indian Buddhism. This pagoda invites you to witness the history through its remains.
Your guide will take you to the ancient City Wall later. With a history of over 600 years, it is the most complete city wall that has survived in China. Take a leisurely walk on the wall to feel how the past meets present at this vibrant city with splendid culture. If you 're skilled in bicycle riding, you can rent a bike to ride on the wall. It should be an exciting and memorable experience.The bike rental fee is at your own expense.
The final destination will be the bustling Muslim Bazaar, the city's most thriving area. If you are interested, you can explore the bazaar at your own pace and then return to the hotel on your own. Your guide will provide directions for returning to your hotel. The Great Mosque and the Bell and Drum Tower Square are within a walking distance from the Bazaar. The Bazaar has a variety of excellent dinner options available. If you prefer not to visit the Muslim Bazaar, your guide will take you back to the hotel.

This tour was a good day to see the warriors. Roger was very thorough and knowledgeable. Would recommend this tour.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We're delighted to hear that you had a good day seeing the warriors with Roger. He is indeed very thorough and knowledgeable. Thank you for recommending the tour.
Our guide Tracy was wonderful as was our driver. We were picked up easily from our hotel and were able to really explore not just the Terracotta Warriors but also Xi'an - a wonderful city. Tracy was a great host, and explained all the important things we needed to know as we explored the site, with a great knowledge not just of the warriors but also the history of the area. She added colour and interest to our day and was wonderful in helping my mother with a particular request. The site of the terracotta warriors was, as we expected, very crowded, but Tracy made sure that we had plenty of time to explore and pointed out really important details throughout. Just a note that the cost of the entrance is not included but we were informed about this before and prepared. Overall highly recommended if you want a really great, clear, knowledgeable guide, and if you want to see more about what Xi'an has to offer!

I ended up with a private tour with Roger, who was great. So happy I did not try this on my own. The soldiers are the 8th wonder of the world, amazing. Very crowded with people everywhere and my guide knew all the best spots for photos. Roger spoke English very well and had lots of history and interesting information. He had a excellent suggestion for lunch and the flow was smooth. The driver was also excellent and did a great job avoiding an accident when a bicycle flew into our path.

Fantastic tour of some of the highlights of this amazing city. Everything was handled wonderfully, the driver and the entrances to the attractions. Susan, the guide, is a delight: enthusiastic, knowledgeable and friendly and goes out of her way to ensure that you do what you want to do on your schedule.
Dear Paul, Thank you for traveling with Travel China Guide! We are very glad to see your positive feedback here! All of our guides are as excellent as Susan, who is knowledgeable and friendly. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the trip with us and we want to thank you for your support!
Our tour was fantastic, made much better by our guide Lily. She was knowledgeable, kind, and fun. If you’re doing a Xi’an tour, make sure to request Lily. You won’t regret it!
Dear Johnny S, We sincerely thank you for your review and giving us a 5 star rating. It is always very nice to receive such encouraging comments. We will continue to keep up our tour service quality. Thanks for your acknowledging.
Despite the Terracotta Army itself being rammed full of people and somewhat disappointing, Susan was a very informative tour guide who provided a lot of information throughout the day and answered any questions we had. The only minor negative was a calligraphy class in a shop, which we weren't especially keen to do and felt like it took time away we could have spent on the city walls. We're not really tour people, but it was definitely the right choice to see Xi'an in one day!
Dear rebeccadO7729YP, Thanks for choosing TravelChinaGuide to arrange your tour! It is a great moment when we know our guide Susan has made your Xi'an trip informative. Meanwhile, we feel it a pity that the heavy crowd in the Terracotta Army caused some inconvenience for you and you did not like the calligraphy class. As a world-famous scenic spot, the Terracotta Army is always overcrowded even during workdays. We would be happy you kindly understand that. Thanks for your time to write this comment. Have a good day!
We had a great time with Maggie our tour guide. She was very attentive and also was very thorough with the terra-cotta warriors walk through. I got to know a lot about the ancient city history. I would highly recommend this tour with Maggie!
Dear grace c, Thanks for travelling with us! We are excited that you had a great time in Xi'an with our guide Maggie, and you got to know Chinese history with Maggie's excellent knowledge. We will forward this positive review to Maggie and congratulate her for a job well done. Thank you for your recommendation. Please keep in touch should you need our any help. Best wishes!
I joined the small group tour but it turned out only me as the participant. First, they offered to change my date choice but unfortunately I couldn't because of my schedule already set up. The best thing, they did not cancel it and kept going even only me in the (supposedly) group. Feifei is my guide. Her English is excellent and she is very friendly and knowledgeable about the attractions. Initially, they informed that there would be a lil change in my itinerary, but I got the compensation fair enough, which were lunch, riding a golf car in the City Wall and a brief walk around Muslim Quarter. I was not disappointed with the readjustment. Lunch was recommended by Feifei with Lintong's origin dish in a halal restaurant since I am a Muslim. Then she took me to the City Wall and rode the golf car. We even dropped by Muslim Quarter and had a brief walk around the Drum Tower and Bell Tower. One of the places we couldn't go to was the Small Wild Goose Pagoda. And since we were a bit advanced from the schedule when we finished, they dropped me at the place so I could visit it on my own, and there was still plenty of time for me to enjoy the park and the pagoda, even the Xi'an museum inside.
Dear ireneayu13, We are glad to see you on Tripadvisor! How kind of you to write this lovely comment regarding your Xi'an tour with our arrangement. We feel more than excited that you were really satisfied with our service, especially the tour guide FeiFei and you had fun visiting the most famous sites in Xi'an with her.

Our Tour Guide Rita and our private driver were waiting upon our arrival in Xi’an and whisked us away to the Terracotta Warriors Tour. Rita made great recommendations that enhanced our experience. We felt very honored to meet the farmer that discovered the Warrior site and having our picture taken with him. The Small Goose Pagoda was beautiful and serene. Tour was well planned and executed.
Dear Sonia O, It is very kind of you to post a positive review regarding your Xi'an tour with TravelChinaGuide again! We are excited to know that you have had a great time with our guide Rita and taken a photo with the farmer who discovered the Terracotta Army. We will forward this positive review to Rita and congratulate her for a job well done. Thank you again for your support. Please keep in touch should you need any help.
