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 in the hotel lobby. 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.
Xi'an City Wall
Xi'an city wall is the only intact city wall kept in China and is now the landmark of Xi'an. With the length of 13.74 kilometers, the wall is in a rectangular shape in a perfect defense system. By ascending the wall, you can see the moat, the arrow tower and the watch towers and the water drainage system.

5.00We had an enjoyable 1 day tour with Wendy. From before the tour till the end, communication was clear and we felt she really knew her way around the places we visited. Apart from the terracota army, she recommended for us to see a Shi which was a pleasant surprise to all of us how impressive the show was. Wendy was also very caring towards my mother who had to be in a wheelchair. She dedicatedly wheeled her around on her on accord. She has a bubbly likeable demeanor and we are glad to have spent the day seeing xian with her.
Best experience of the year!

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Experience with Wendy in Xi’an We had an absolutely wonderful day exploring Xi’an, visiting the Terracotta Warriors and several temples, and I can confidently say that our experience was elevated entirely thanks to our incredible guide, Wendy. Wendy is truly outstanding. Her knowledge of Xi’an’s history, culture, and every site we visited was both deep and engaging. She explained everything clearly, answered all of our questions with patience, and tailored the experience perfectly to our interests. What really sets Wendy apart is her professionalism and attentiveness. She was always on time, well-organized, and consistently one step ahead, making sure everything ran smoothly throughout the day. She made us feel completely comfortable and taken care of at all times. She also went above and beyond in helping us while shopping—offering honest advice, guiding us through local options, and making sure we had a great experience without any pressure. Most importantly, Wendy has a natural warmth and sense of care. You can genuinely feel that she is looking out for you and wants you to have the best possible experience. I highly, highly recommend Wendy to anyone visiting Xi’an. She is not just a guide, but a true professional who will make your trip unforgettable.
Wendy is the best

5.00Went on this tour with my brother with Wendy as our guide and I cannot say enough about her - she is the absolute best of the best and we have been on many other tours throughout China. She is incredibly knowledgeable about each of the three sites we chose to visit and took her time explaining all of the nuances of each - we did not feel rushed at all. Our day began at 8am and ended at 630pm. If I could give an extra star, I would as I highly, highly recommend this tour with Wendy.
Fantastic day with Wendy!

5.00We had an excellent experience on this tour. The four of us were picked up in a comfortable and new van. Great explanations were provided for the terracotta warriors, and Wendy looked after us all the way. Very engaging and accommodating for our kids (5 and 9). Flexible and helpful making plans for the rest of the day. We added the Silk Road Show and the City Walls in the afternoon. Highly recommended.
Excellent Tour to the Terracotta Warriors,provided by Wendy

5.00Agnus was such a wonderful tour guide. I highly recommend this tour. She was very knowledgeable with speciality in history and very good at answering questions. Her English was fantastic. Tour was well paced. We even stopped for lunch and coffee. Navigating this place on our own would have been overwhelming. Im glad I booked this tour.
