What To Expect
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.
Big Wild Goose Pagoda (Dayanta)
Drive back to the downtown to visit Big Wild Goose Pagoda, a major participant along the ancient Silk Road in translating and introducing Indian Buddhism.

5.00We had a great time. The Terracotta warriors were very crowded by the tour guide helped to make sure we saw what was important and she also made sure we understood the background for everything. The tour was much more relaxed than I thought it would be, and we had plenty of time to see everything we wanted. Our guide, Rita, was great - she made use the shoppers in the group got to shop, and the sightseers in the group got to sightsee.
Great services from Emily Xin in our preparation of our tour. Will report again after the tour. Thank you Emily.

5.00Fantastic tour organised by Kina at Travel China Guide. Our guide Lola was informative, knowledgeable & very helpful. A once in a lifetime trip the Terracotta Warriors were on our bucket list & they didn’t disappoint. Lola also helped us negotiate when we wanted to get Replica warriors to take home. Another highlight was making our own mini warriors to take home. A really fun activity. We also visited Xi’an city wall & the Muslim bazaar. Driver collection from train station to hotel & the same driver through our whole time in Xi’an. Lola stayed in touch until we left & even made sure we knew how to get on the right train.

5.00Rita was a terrific guide--knowledgeable and fun. Her English is excellent. While high winds closed the cable car to the west peak, she got us up to the north peak. There were tons of people, but she expertly navigated us through the crowds for optimal viewing. Highly recommended!
