1 day private tour to main attractions in Xi'an - My family and I had a wonderful and memorable experience on our 1 day trip to Terracotta Warriors, City Wall, Big Goose Pagoda, Bell Tower and Muslim Quarter. Our tour guide Sasha was very friendly and knowledgeable, sharing with us the history and insights of these attractions. Kudos also to my tour advisor, Sophia who was very patient and handled all my queries and met my requirements for this private tour.

Amazing day with an awesome guide! - We had an absolutely fantastic private tour with Noble! From start to finish, he made the experience unforgettable with his warm nature and his sense of humour kept us entertained throughout the day. His deep knowledge of the history and culture made every stop so much more meaningful. He went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and engaged, making it feel like we were touring with a friend rather than just a guide. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and truly passionate guide, Noble is the one! Highly recommend to everyone!

Great tour and great guide. - This is one of the great private tour which I ever joined. Noble, our tour guide, is polite, on-time, and knowledgeable. He was born in Xi’an, thus he knows everything here including a wonderful lunch as per his recommendation. The tour is flexible and not rush. We can spend more hours in the museum rather than just walk by.

Great tour and Great guide. - This is a great experience to visit the terracotta museum and walk over the city wall. Our tour guide, Noble, is a great guy. He is very polite and knowledgeable. He is also fluent in English. As he is Xi’an born guide so he knows a lot about Xi’an history. The tour is not rush as it is private tour. We spent almost three hours in the museum to learn not only history but also how the terracotta warriors created. No hidden charge nor selling something we don’t want. We are very enjoy throughout the trip. It is highly recommended

A wonderful historical trip to meet the Xi'an Terracotta Warriors and to walk the impressive City Walls. - This was an excellent experience with, Wendy, a wonderful, very knowledgeable, English-speaking guide. This is a busy site and best to go as early as possible. The trip is about one hour by car from the city centre to the museum. The tour at the museum is about 2 hours and many restaurants are available onsite. Three halls (pits) can be viewed, all containing an astonishing history from 2,200 years ago, discovered only in 1974. The terracotta warriors number in the thousands although the 3 pits show only those that have so far been excavated. They form an army to protect the emperor of the time in his after-life. The tour also includes a visit to the huge Xi'an city walls, the ramparts of which can be walked. Finally a visit to the Muslim Quarter within the city walls, an area of countless food shops. Thanks Wendy! A perfect day!
