The Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses
Your tour guide will pick up you at your hotel lobby and take you to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum. It takes one hour to arrive there. Your guide will accompany you to visit the three pits in the museum and the selected collections at the affiliated exhibition hall. The whole visit usually takes around two and a half hours. The tourist restaurants near the museum provide poor services and food. You may go to the international fast food restaurants, such as KFC or Subway outside the museum, for a casual lunch. The tour guide will give you some recommendation.
Small Goose Pagoda
Then it takes one hour back to downtown and reach the Small Wild Goose Pagoda. It was founded during the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907) to store sutras brought from India by an eminent monk, Yi Jing, and the pagoda is similar to the renowned Big Wild Goose Pagoda in shape but smaller in size, hence the name. Many exquisite stone Buddha, stone lions, stone horses and other stone carvings can be seen there.

My wife and I we're hesitant to make a quick decision on how to see the highlights of Xi'an. So we took our time to read through each of the options available and even considered taking a trip on our own. I' so happy that we used Viator make the choice. I feel like we covered an awesome amount of city area with our private tour guide. The tour was efficient and made simple by our guide. I'd definitely do it again.

This spur of the moment trip was fantastic! We were in Guilin at the time and decided to fly up to Xi'an for a day trip specifically to see the Terracotta Warriors. It was a big day but so worth it. We had a private driver and tour guide who provided door airport to door service. Since the Terracotta Army was our priority, we completed that first and the other highlights we completed as time could permit. Unfortunately it was raining so we didn't do the ancient city wall bicycle ride, but that would have been cool. The Wild Goose Pagoda was pleasant and peaceful. We had a great guide who spoke good English and was informative. This tour was excellent.

Really great tour with Celine. Everything went as per the description. Met us at the airport, saw the Buried Warriors, went to the Small Wild Goose Pagoda. Dropped us at our hotel. No problems. Our guide Celine was very knowledgeable. there is much i would have missed without her insights. Really good.
I would definitely do this tour and the trip to Xi'an again. By the way, on the second day we walked thru the Muslim Quarter to visit the Grand Mosque. I highly recommend doing that as a side trip if you have any spare time.

Awesome day, loved every minute. The warehouse so we could buy our own warrior absolutely no pressure to buy, the visit to the actual terracotta warriors, walled city and pagoda. We had a brilliant guide in Tracy, wonderful person and hugely knowledgeable. Would highly recommend without a doubt.
