Solo Guided Terracotta Warriors Tour January 2026
cmilli23,,Jan 17, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00I did a solo afternoon tour in mid-January 2026 with Betty Jiao as the guide. We lucked out with sunny weather and it wasn’t too cold that day either. She and the driver picked me up from my hotel and it took about one hour to reach the Warriors. Being the offseason for tourists, the crowds were small. It was an easy experience entering since Betty handled the tickets ahead of time. We spent 2-3 hours touring the different pits and museum exhibitions. Betty had a lot of different facts to share along the way and helped to take photos whenever needed. After the tour, we walked to the nearby shop street and ate some great Xi’an food. The drive back into Xi’an was another hour. Overall, it was a great tour as I was able to enjoy the experience without worrying about any logistics. Would highly recommend!
Awesome Warriors!

5.00We had a wonderful day in Xi’an with Ms. Jiao and her team. The Terracotta Army was brought to life through her knowledge and passion, and the visit to the Shaanxi Wildlife Rescue Base made the tour truly unique. Everything was perfectly organized, comfortable, and memorable. Highly recommended!
