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 a really great day with Wendy. From the moment she picked us up she was full of really interesting information and stories that brought the sites to life. Flawless in navigating significant crowds to see the terra-cotta warriors. And we loved her introduction to Buddhism at the Wild Goose Pagoda. I’d recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn more about Xi’an and China’s history with an expert guide. Wendy really did a great job at making the day. A great experience.

5.00Our tour guide, Becky, was a wealth of knowledge! Extremely professional and helpful. If we had attempted this day without a guide we would have been overwhelmed and understood about 10% of what we experienced. Becky made the day rich with history. She should be a teacher. Highly recommend!!!
Great knowledge. Speaks English well

5.00Wendy was spot on. Her knowledge of the Terracotta Warriors and Xi’an is deep, but she explains it in a way that’s actually interesting. She’s also just really nice and helpful. She took the stress out of the day and made everything run smoothly. It made the whole experience much better. I’d totally recommend her to anyone visiting. You won’t regret it.
