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.

The guide and driver were wonderful. The guide was knowledgeable of the subject and history of the area. Our local lunch experience enhanced the experience. The mediator however, attempted to ruin the experience by attempting to change the transportation agreement.
Great way to see the Terracotta Soldiers and city of Xi'An in a Private Tour

We had a wonderful day on this private tour. Wendy was an amazing tour guide. We leaned so much about the history of Xi'An. The Terracotta Soldiers portion of the tour we enjoyed thoroughly. The day was very customized to what we wanted to see and do. I highly recommend this tour!

Delighted to meet our guide Wendy. So much energy, knowledge and fun in such a small format. Wendy opened up all the doors for a full understanding and emotional connection with the terracotta warriors, the HuaQing palace and the Wild goose pagoda. It was a full day of light rain but felt warm and fuzzy all along. And yes, Wendy's English is perfect and yes we also learned about everyday life in China in 2025.
Highly recommend tour with Becky
