What To Expect
The Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses
Your private guide and driver will meet you in your hotel lobby at 8:30 AM, or at a time of your choosing. Travel in comfort by private vehicle to the Terracotta Warriors, avoiding crowded public transport. Upon arrival, enjoy approximately 2.5 hours to explore this UNESCO World Heritage site. Your guide will lead you through the three main excavation pits (Pit 1, Pit 2, and Pit 3), which contain nearly 8,000 life-sized terracotta figures and horses. Each statue is uniquely crafted with remarkably vivid expressions, offering a breathtaking glimpse into ancient history. After the museum visit, your driver will take you back to Xi'an. You then have the option to extend your day with 1-2 additional city attractions. Popular choices include the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the ancient City Wall, or a local cultural show (admission fees are not included). At the end of your personalized journey, your guide and driver will send you to your hotel.
Xi'an City Wall
The Xi'an City Wall is the largest and most completely preserved ancient city wall in existence in China. The Xi'an City Wall is a striking landmark of the ancient city. Just like people, cities must have their own distinct personalities. As an ancient historical and cultural city, Xi'an's distinct urban personality is reflected in its urban architecture. You can follow your guide to climb onto the city wall. While listening to the guide's historical explanations, you can overlook Xi'an from the city wall. Renting a bicycle on the city wall and experiencing a cycling journey is also a good choice.

A Day to Remember in Xi’an with Emily
Shamile F,Mar 18, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00Our day in Xi’an was absolutely unforgettable thanks to Emily, who is hands-down one of the most knowledgeable and helpful guides we’ve ever met. From the moment we started, her communication was spot-on, making the entire experience feel seamless and stress-free. Whether we were marveling at the scale of the Terracotta Army, exploring the Palace of the Emperor, or walking the ancient City Walls, Emily’s passion for history really shone through; she has a way of telling stories that makes the past feel alive rather than just reciting facts. To top it off, she ended our day at the theatre with some truly amazing local food recommendations that were easily the best meals of our trip. She felt less like a formal guide and more like a well-connected friend showing us her city. If you want a deep dive into the culture with someone who genuinely cares about your experience, Emily is the one to call.

5.00Terrific tour with an excellent guide! Our guide Phoenix and driver arrived promptly at our hotel and we were taken in a comfortable and warm car to the Terracotta Warriors site where the tour guide helped us through the process and explained so many wonderful facts about the site. It was an amazing experience and so good to see the warriors up close, The included lunch was also fantastic and our guide also arranged for us to visit the "Camel Bell" show we was a very enjoyable performance. Highly recommend this tour to anyone!
