1.Mini Group Xian Day Tour to Terracotta Army, City Wall, Pagoda and Muslim Bazaar

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,320 reviews · from $49Our pick

Review of Xi’an’s Terracotta Army, City Wall, Pagoda, and Muslim Bazaar tour, with practical advice on value, timing, guides, and crowds.

“This tour is a great option to see a few of the must-visit highlights of Xi'an if you are limited on time. Our local guide Carol was very professional and extremely knowledgeable on the history of Xi'an. The experience of seeing the Terracotta Warriors was a bit overwhelming, but it would be chaotic regardless of the tour group you're with. It was neat to see one of the men that originally discovered the Terracotta Warriors at the beginning of our tour!”
