Reviews: Xi'an Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum Terracotta Army half-day tour with expert guide and hotel transfer available
Guest User2025-12-26
This half-day tour of the Terracotta Warriors was fantastic overall, a fulfilling and comfortable experience. Special praise goes to our guide, Ms. Xing Yajuan; she was incredibly thoughtful, professional, meticulous, and patient. Originally scheduled for 9:30 to 11:30, she led us for a full three hours, without any rush. She also made sure to check on everyone's needs, such as photo opportunities, restroom breaks, souvenir purchases, and whether we were pressed for time. Knowing that many of us dislike crowds, she would deliberately take us to less congested areas for explanations, making the experience clearer and more enjoyable. Ms. Xing has an exceptional understanding of the details of the terracotta warriors, explaining everything from clothing, hairstyles, and expressions to weapons and formations in a vivid and insightful way. I learned a great deal and gained a deeper appreciation for the awe-inspiring nature of the Terracotta Warriors. I highly recommend Ms. Xing Yajuan; she is one of the best and most dedicated guides I've ever encountered on any tour.
Reviews: 1-Day Xi'an Tour: Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum (Terracotta Army) + Huaqing Palace [Chinese/English Guide]

DO: Get tickets for the Camel Bell show.  It's the best live show I've seen in China so far. DON'T: Get tickets for the optional "An Army Reborn" show.  Not worth the money, trust me. The tour guide, Star, was very informative and communicated clearly.  Tour was well organized, never rushed or boring.  By far one of the best day tours you can do if you want to learn the history of these two locations.  Both locations are mostly open-air, so make sure to dress for the weather and prepare for a reasonable amount of walking.

A very positive experience on the tour with our tour guide Iris. She was a helpful guide in explaining everything and also made the ticketing process seamless. The detail on the Terracotta warriors themselves is extremely impressive.
Reviews: Mini Group Xian Day Tour to Terracotta Army, City Wall, Pagoda and Muslim Quarter
Guest User2026-01-22
Excellent one-day tour in Xi'an! We visited the main highlights: the majestic Big Wild Goose Pagoda (大雁塔), the awe-inspiring Terracotta Army (兵马俑), walked along the ancient City Wall (城墙), and immersed ourselves in the atmosphere of the Muslim Quarter (回民街), where we tried the famous biangbiang noodles (面). Special thanks to our guide Angie - who led the tour with deep knowledge and enthusiasm. The driver was punctual and careful, making the trip comfortable. The tour was very informative, well-organized, and truly engaging. We got a lot of impressions and learned so much about Xi'an's rich history. Definitely recommended!

Reviews: [Premium 8-Person Small Group] Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum + Lishan Garden Bronze Chariots + Huaqing Palace 1-day Tour / Live Guide

The Korean-language guide program was expensive, so we considered just doing it ourselves, but we ended up choosing the English/Chinese guide program. I only knew a little English and even less Chinese, so I signed up, thinking it wouldn't be a problem. Ultimately, it was a great choice. While I can't say I understood everything 100% due to the language barrier, the guide explained the key points in simple English, making the overall flow of the tour completely understandable. The Chinese pronunciation and expressions added to the experience, making the tour even more enjoyable. If you have a basic grasp of English, I highly recommend it! Although it was a premium tour for eight people, we were able to depart with just the two of us on the day, and there were no additional fees for our small group. We were conveniently picked up at our hotel and transferred to our vehicle, making for a hassle-free tour. We were also pleased with the restaurant the guide recommended. I was particularly pleased to find a menu similar to Korean galbijjim, and the other dishes were also delicious. I personally love lamb, and the grilled lamb ribs were different from what I've had in Korea, so I thought I should try making this at home. After the tour, when we told the guide we were planning to visit the Datang Buyongwon, he personally guided us to the entrance and was very attentive, which was also impressive. Overall, I felt the guide was incredibly knowledgeable and, above all, very attentive to travelers. If you're hesitant about the language barrier, I highly recommend this tour. I was extremely satisfied.
