Spend full-day to visit Luoyang while you are travelling in Xi’an, take the round-way high speed train, explore the splendid cultural treasure in Longmen Caves, and discover Chinese Martial Arts at Shaolin Temple.

If Chinese culture fascinates you, go deeper with a private guide on this half-day tour, available morning or afternoon to fit your needs. After pickup from your hotel, visit ancient Small Wild Goose Pagoda and discover Xian’s extraordinary history at the Xian Museum. Next, embrace the color of a traditional shadow puppet show, with your guide on hand to explain. Finish with a dumpling feast at De Fa Chang.

This private day tour starts with unhurried time at the Terracotta Warriors, timed to the museum's opening -- the quietest window of the day, before the tour buses arrive. Your guide walks you through Pits 1, 2 and 3 at your own pace. By early afternoon you're back in the city and you choose how to spend the rest of the day. Option A: Yuanjia Village Food City, where 100+ Shaanxi snacks are made by hand in front of you, then a hands-on panniu (frog-button) knot-tying lesson with our partner craftsperson at Datang Xishi, and a walk through one of Xi'an's oldest local markets at the foot of the city wall. Option B: a real Chinese e-bike -- not a pedal bike, not laps on top of the City Wall -- through the old city's backstreets with your guide beside you: the Bell Tower, street food in Huifang, Guangren Temple at dusk, and Jianguomen Old Market in neon. Fully private, and because it's private the start time flexes around you.
