What To Expect
The Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses
Avoid crowded tour buses and slow-moving tour groups with a handy private driver to take you to the famous Terracotta Warriors. Meet your local guide at 8am(or at a specific time according to your time schedule) and drive directly to Terracotta Warriors. You are expecting 7000 life size terracotta warriors all in the real battle formation, which were buried underground over 2200 years (recommended visiting time: 2.5 hours with lots of flat walking). The Museum visit includes three original pits, Pit 1 as the main force, Pit 2 as the Flexible Troupe and Pit 3 as Command center. There is also an exhibition hall for different exhibitions from time to time. This is definitely a treasure house to study the history of the first dynasty of China, the Qin Dynasty. After the visit, have a local lunch at your own cost or watch an optional cultural show or drop you off at your hotel.

5.00Our guide, Sasha, was excellent. We traveled to the terracotta warriors in a nice car and we spent just the right amount of time at the site. It was very very crowded when we got there at 9, so if you'd like to avoid crowds, I would recommend going when it first opens.
First class service

5.00First class service! Our experience couldn't have been any better. Wendy who was our guide was fantastic. We received clear instructions about pick up. All communication was clear. Wendy was passionate and very knowledgeable about all details, history, the site and knew the best spots for viewing any of the soldiers whether we were in the pits or the museum. We visited during national holiday and the place was very crowded but Wendy navigated us through the crowds with an ease and we gave thoroughly enjoyed our tour. I would recommend Wendy and her service. Thank you for this experience.

5.00My family (3 little kids) and I had a great day at terracotta army site. Everything was agreed in advance and well planned (never felt time pressure), we set the pace stopping or moving when and where we needed to. Valuable and entertaining insights on both the historical site and general curiosities that came up along the way. Kindness and professional attitude at top level. Really really recommended
Excellent day out

5.00My all inclusive day-trip was fantastic and greatly exceeded my expectations! Wendy is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Wendy was able to answer all my questions. Plenty of time to see all the pits, learn all the history and walk around the complex. I highly recommend Wendy and cannot thank her enough for such an incredible day. Looking forward to going back later this year.
