Xi'an Your Way Holiday

Step into the heart of the Terracotta Army at Pit 1, the largest and most iconic excavation site, where over 6,000 life-sized soldiers, horses, and chariots stand in perfect formation. As you walk through the massive underground vault, your guide will unfold the story of these warriors, explaining how they were created to protect Emperor Qin Shi Huang in the afterlife. You’ll discover how each soldier was individually sculpted with unique features—no two are alike, making this one of the most extraordinary archaeological finds in the world. The soldiers’ arrayed ranks, frozen in time, create an awe-inspiring atmosphere, and you’ll be amazed by the painstaking level of detail, from the soldiers' clothing to the intricate weapons they hold. Take your time to marvel at the craftsmanship and imagine the vast scale of the Emperor's vision for immortality, as your guide paints a vivid picture of ancient Chinese warfare and culture.

Next, head to Pit 3, a smaller yet equally captivating site that offers a more personal connection to the past. Here, you’ll find a unique collection of figures—warriors, officials, and horses—that are not as large as those in Pit 1 but carry just as much historical weight. The figures in Pit 3 appear to be in more relaxed, natural poses, as if they were captured in the midst of daily life. Your guide will share fascinating stories about the warriors’ roles within the military hierarchy and their specific duties. This pit was likely the command center, with high-ranking officers and strategic leaders overseeing the formation of the larger pits. Listen closely as your guide delves into the deeper meanings behind the figures' varied expressions and positions, and how these warriors reflected the organizational sophistication of the Qin Dynasty. You’ll leave with a new understanding of the human side of these ancient soldiers.

End your tour with Pit 2, an excavation site that offers a unique glimpse into the strategic military genius of the Qin Dynasty. This pit is a treasure trove of detailed terracotta soldiers arranged in perfect battle formations, offering insights into how Emperor Qin Shi Huang's army was structured for defense. Here, you’ll see soldiers, archers, and chariots, all poised to protect the emperor's tomb from any external threat. Your guide will explain how the formation of this pit is a microcosm of the larger defensive strategies employed by the Qin Dynasty, showcasing their advanced understanding of military tactics and their preparedness for the afterlife battle. Marvel at the craftsmanship of the soldiers, whose faces, expressions, and even the individual details of their armor tell stories of ancient warfare. This final stop will leave you with a deeper appreciation for the military prowess of the time and a greater understanding of the Terracotta Army’s historical significance.

If you're looking for a truly unique tour experience, you can't beat the Private Day Tour of Mount Huashan with Round-Trip Cable Car from Xi'an. Our guide, Tilla, was outstanding, providing us with an authentic taste of Xi'an through colorful details about its rich history and culture. The tour itself was worth every penny, especially the scenic bus ride to the mountain. Once we arrived at Huashan, we boarded a cable car that offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes. The vistas were absolutely spectacular, and there were plenty of photo opportunities to capture the stunning scenery.

At the top, we were greeted with even more magnificent views and had the chance to do some hiking. Comfortable shoes are essential! We wore lightweight tennis shoes, and they were perfect for the terrain. Overall, this tour was an incredible experience, and the beauty of Mount Huashan will stay with us forever. Highly recommended for anyone looking to see some of China’s most awe-inspiring landscapes!

Our half-day tour of the Terracotta Warriors with Lulu was an unforgettable experience for our family of six! From the moment we first made contact with Your Way Holiday , the service was exceptional. Lulu was incredibly helpful, promptly returning our calls and messages, and assisting us with every detail. The day at the Terracotta Warriors exceeded all our expectations. Our guide, Julia, was not only extremely knowledgeable but also warm and engaging, making the experience even more enjoyable. She shared fascinating insights about the history and significance of the site, and her passion for the culture was evident throughout the tour.

The tour was amazing! The organization was top-notch: we chose our pick-up and drop-off points based on our schedule, and even if we were 15 minutes late, it was no problem! Our guide, Wendy, was exceptional—she provided detailed explanations at the Terracotta Army and shared so many insights (especially since few panels are translated into English)! On the way there, she chatted with us, offering great suggestions and tips on local food. This tour is highly recommended and strongly endorsed! Thank you, Wendy, for making our stay in Xi'an such a memorable experience!

The Terracotta Warriors Museum is about an hour's drive from Xi’an. It can get quite crowded; even though our guide said it wasn’t too busy that day, I can only imagine how packed it must be during peak times. Visibility was tricky, but our guide helped us find the best spots for viewing. Taller visitors definitely had an easier time seeing everything! Despite the crowds, the museum is a must-see for its impressive man-made tombs and sculptures. If visiting independently, you can book tickets in advance through the official website or apps and use your passport to enter. For a more relaxed experience, consider hiring a guide, though be prepared for possible stops at shops and restaurants which you can choose to skip.

My friend and I enjoyed an amazing private half day Terracotta Warriors Tour in Xian, China with the assistance of Xian Private Tour. Not knowing where to begin with planning a trip I found out the tour company online and received a very prompt response from the company. The tour consultant was wonderful, always quick to respond to emails and questions, and they set up the most memorable trip for our Xian trip.

We were met at the train station by our tour guide Lisa and driver. So glad we didn't have to negotiate transport by our own at that tour. Lisa was excellent, excellent, excellent. She gave us a lot f important information about the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Musuem. She is very knowledgeable and she was always available and offering her assistance. Lisa went the extra mile and took us to wonderful sites and gave us the time to enjoy and learn.

All in all, it is a perfect trip. Highly recommend Xian Private Tour and make sure to ask for Lisa.

It was the first time for me and my family to travel to Xian, China. We booked the tour for the Terracotta Warriors with Xian Private Tour. It was stunning. You are literally witnessing incredible history with these 2000 yr old statues. The condition of them is incredible. The history even more interesting, it helped a lot that our guide, Lisa, was very knowledgeable with history, providing so many interesting facts about the Terracotta Warriors. Our young girls were just as engrossed in the stories and artifacts as we were. Truly a visit not to be missed and a must see for everyone planning a visit to the ancient city of Xian.

I would highly recommend Xian Private Tour and Lisa to anyone visiting China for the first time and wouldn't hesitate to use the company again.
