Highlights
- The Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses - In the morning, a professional guide will meet you at your hotel lobby, and a comfortable, spacious chauffeur-driven van will transport you to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum. During the one-hour journey, your expert guide will provide background information about this world wonder. Follow your guide to explore the three excavated pits containing over 8,000 pottery soldiers, horses, and chariots, and then visit the Bronze Chariots and Horses Exhibition Hall. You will have at least two and a half hours to discover this remarkable site.
- Big Wild Goose Pagoda (Dayanta) - The Big Wild Goose Pagoda, constructed during the Tang Dynasty (618-907), offers a serene environment and an ancient pagoda that will bring you peace of mind. It’s an excellent place to learn more about this historic city.
- Xi’an City Wall (Chengqiang) - Your guide will lead you to the ancient City Wall, which has a history of over 600 years and is the most well-preserved city wall in China. Enjoy a leisurely walk on the wall to experience the blend of past and present in this vibrant city with a rich culture. If you are proficient in bicycle riding, you may rent a bike to ride on the wall for an exciting and memorable experience. The bike rental fee is at your own expense.
- Muslim Quarter - The final stop will be the Muslim Bazaar, the most bustling area of the city. You can explore the bazaar at your own pace and return to the hotel independently. Your guide will provide directions for returning to your hotel. The Great Mosque and the Bell and Drum Tower Square are within walking distance of the Bazaar, which offers numerous excellent dining options. If you prefer not to visit the Muslim Bazaar, your guide will take you back to the hotel after dropping off others at the Bazaar.

Good Experience - Our tour guide Nacy provide good explanation in both English & Chinese. We love the package we booked just that the crowd is too unbearable during Summer holiday in China.
We got a car with 2 others, it’s a bit squeeze for both men to sit at the rear seats.

Xi’an a must visit - I joined a tour with 3 other people who made the day fun and pleasant. Our tour guide, Nancy, was knowledgeable and made sure to answer our questions. She is calm and collected but at times disengaged with the group.
We went to a terracotta shop before any visits which was unplanned and unnecessary as it took time from the rest of the tour. 8 hours is a long day but with travel and lunch time, is really about 5. FYI if you look on viator for this tour you’ll find it with a diff price.

Terrible - What a terrible experience. First, they showed up in a tiny minivan for 5 large westerners, plus the driver and the guide. Literally jammed in like sardines.
I was stuck in the last row with a large Belgian and the guide in the middle. We could barely move and there was no personal space.
Next, we were supposed to head to our advertised first stop, the Terracotta Warrior exhibit, but on the way, the guide announced that our first stop was at a factory that produces warriors and other souvenirs. We spent an hour here, before finally being taken to the actual site.
The tour guide was nice enough, but she walked like she was in a hurry to get somewhere.
I would suggest avoiding this tour.
