Xi an Day Tour

Philip_N, Dec 2025

Fantastic day with the excellent guide Min. Started at the Terracotta Army museum and everything i hoped for. Then a fabulous lunch with local family before visiting the city wall and Wild Goose pagoda. Min was very attentive to mine and the other groups needs and a wealth of information. Highly recommend

Absolutely Amazing!

Joelyn_A, Nov 2025

This tour was definitely a highlight of my trip. Our guide, Willow, was full of information. We were never "rushed" at the site and were given ample time to see the pits. That said, at the end we spent a considerable time at a shop where we met the farmer who found the warriors, then we were rushed through the other marketplace at a fast pace. It would've been nice to have some time in the marketplace. When you walk in and see the first pit, that is the only time you see the warriors head on. It's very crowded, but definitely wait for a spot in the front and savor the moment. The lunch in the village was fabulous and I highly recommend that option. The city wall and pagoda were fascinating as well. I recommend this tour.

Great Sites and great guides in Xian

Amazing day trip to best sites. Highly recommended. Amber was terrific guide with comfortable private car. We saw city wall and wild goose pagoda. Family style lunch was delicious and whole family welcoming. Amber explained all the key points at terracota and helped us navigate around crowds easily.
