Itinerary

  • The Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses

    Avoid crowded tour buses and slow-moving tour groups with a handy private driver to take you to the famous Terracotta Warriors. Meet your local guide at 8am in the hotel lobby. You are expecting 7000 life size terracotta warriors all in the real battle formation, which were buried underground over 2200 years (recommended visiting time: 2.5 hours with lots of flat walking). The Museum visit includes three original pits, Pit 1 as the main force, Pit 2 as the Flexible Troupe and Pit 3 as Command Center. There is also an exhibition hall for different exhibitions from time to time. This is definitely a treasure house to study the history of the first dynasty of China, the Qin Dynasty.

    Xi'an city wall is the only intact city wall kept in China and is now the landmark of Xi'an. With the length of 13.74 kilometers, the wall is in a rectangular shape in a perfect defense system.

Great Day with Wendy in Xi’an

Published on Mar, 2025

We had a wonderful time with Wendy, touring the terracotta warriors and big goose pagoda. She was amazingly informative and brought great energy to the tour. She was absolutely fantastic with the kids. Her driver was also great, always smiling and right where we popped out of any location. Wendy was also highly communicative and offered lots of great tips and suggestions for the family. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Best tour guide

Published on Mar, 2025

Wendy is the best tour guide we’ve ever had. Her knowledge is incredible and her English was nearly better than ours. Wendy entertained us for the whole day and until our flight. Not only did she share information on the sites we saw but we had a great lunch and she explained all of the cultural nuances of the Chinese people. We have recommended her to everyone

Wendy is the BEST guide we've ever had!

Published on Mar, 2025

Researching guides for our trip to Xi'an, my daughter and I discovered the gem that is Wendy. Responsive, timely communication and as we were to find out when we met her - effervescent personality, resourceful can do attitude, wonderful sense of humour, good with people of all ages and most of all a treasure trove of knowledge about everything Xi'an. Wendy made Xi'an come alive for us with dramatic flair! Despite not being fluent in Mandarin we were able to develop a much deeper understanding of the places we visited thanks to her. Our day spent with her to see the Terracotta Army, Big Goose Pagoda, Reborn Army show and Silk Road show was so enjoyable it was over way too soon. Yet she made us feel completely at ease and it never felt rushed. It felt like being guided by a family member rather than someone we just met. Wendy goes above and beyond what you would expect of a guide. Literally nothing is too much trouble for her. We were particularly impressed by her caring nature, in the special way she took care of me (I have mobility issues and travel in a wheelchair) and easily navigated obstacles I faced such as stairs, uneven terrain and non-accessible areas. She arranged for an experienced driver and comfortable SUV transport, located accessible ramps, elevators, toilets and even helped me get around in my wheelchair - all with patience and professionalism. This ensured our itinerary went smoothly and in the best way possible. After our day with her was over, Wendy continued to check in with us for the rest of our trip to provide recommendations, information and any assistance we required to fully experience the city. In our opinion, this is the single unique quality that sets Wendy apart from the many guides we have known throughout our extensive travels. We can truly say we met as guide and clients, but parted as good friends. If you are looking for the best guide here, look no further. Wendy IS your definitive Xi'an guide.

Lovely tour in Xi’an

Published on Mar, 2025

I contacted Wendy after seeing all the positive reviews on TripAdvisor. As this was my first time in China I decided to hire a guide. I’m so glad that I did because Wendy was a pleasure to go around with and talk to and it made everything so much easier especially when you’re only in town for a short time. I had wanted to see the terra-cotta warriors for some time now and would have missed a lot of details without Wendy pointing them out. She also took me to the Huaqing Palace and the Tang dinner show which were both lovely and gave me some good tips for how I could spend the extra day I had in Xi’an. I would recommend Wendy to anyone traveling to Xi’an!

Highly recommended if you want the best tour of Xi’an

Published on Mar, 2025

Amazing day. Wendy knows her stuff. She was very flexible with many suggestions. She knew so much about the sites as well. One of the best guides I’ve ever experienced. Can’t recommend her enough.
