5.00The half-day tour was perfect for me since I only wanted to see the Terracotta Army with a guide. It included hotel pick-up, which was super convenient. Just note that hotel drop-off is not included — instead, they drop you off at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda at the end. The full-day tour includes the pagoda and the city wall, but I explored those on my own on another day and really enjoyed doing it at my own pace. So personally, I recommend the half-day tour if your main focus is the Terracotta Army!
Visit not to miss but prepare for a crowd of people

5.00We did the 1/2 day tour. We arrived around 8:15 and there was already a lot of people. Huge queues to pass the passports and security. Very hot, bring water and hat. Inside the temperature is optimal, much cooler. Celine was a great guide, spoke very well English and explained everything in very detail. Experience not to be missed in Xian. On the return we were late for a flight to Beijing and our guide Celine was very helpful ensuring our return transport to the hotel as soon as possible. Thank you Celine!
