Itinerary
You will be picked up at 8AM in the lobby of hotel and then about 1 hour’s driving, you will get to one of the greatest sights of China ---the magnificent Terra-Cotta Warriors museum. There are 3 pits, one with 6000 statues, the others much fewer. The various statues are of different ranks, indicated by the number of hair knots they have. Each pit has archaeologists working daily still uncovering more warriors, horses .No matter how much you read about this famous site, it still takes your breath away.
After lunch, you will return back to city to climb Xi'an City Wall which is one of our most complete existing ancient city wall of China. When you reach to the top of wall, you can have a bird's eyes view of ancient city . You even can ride the bike all the way around the wall.
Finish your busy day by discovering Xian's Muslim heritage,so you will stroll down Muslim Street, Xian's street-food epicenter: sample Chinese Muslim food from lamb kebabs to noodles and pancakes, and watch the food which is cooked before your eyes.

Excellent guide to visit Xi'an in just one day. She picked us up at the airport with a driver that took us to see the Terracota Warriors. Later we visited the City Walls and Muslim Street. It's imposible to visit more in just one day and her explanations helped us a lot to better understand this beautiful country.
We did the tour with Ken. Excellent and savy guide, my family and I enjoyed the visit very much. Lots of information about any question we had and great restaurant recommendations!! Totally worth it.
Thank you Jasmine for being a great guide AND Chinese teacher. And for giving me great recommendations for my second day in Xi’An.
This private tour with Jasmine was perfect for my husband and I. We had an approximately 5.5 hour tour with Jasmine (including the car ride from the hotel to the terra cotta warrior museum and the ride back to the train station to return to Beijing). Due to our train schedule, the actual amount of time that we had to walk around the museum was about three hours or so. This is not enough time to stop and talk about every single part of the museum, but Jasmine really helped us make the most of it. She is so knowledgeable and her ability to speak both Chinese and English was perfect! My husband and I left feeling extremely satisfied with the tour and she even helped us read our train tickets as they were written only in Chinese. The terra cotta warrior museum is a must-see if you are in Xi'an and I'm so glad that Jasmine was with us to explain the history and answer our questions about this amazing piece of history!
We've been in Chengdu and unfortunately not enough time to visit beautiful Xi'an as well. But we didn't want to miss the Terra-catto Warrior. Definitely once in a lifetime experience. So thanks to the bullet train who is running from Chengdu to Xi'an since last year we took our chance and booked a 1-Day-Trip with Jasmine who was our private guide! She did a fantastic job. She is very knowledgable and her English is fantastic. As we are foodies she even took us to a local restaurant (promise, no tourist trap) afterwards and scheduled us on an earlier train back to Chengdu. All totally worth the money. If you are close to Xi'an - Terra-cotta Warrior are a must see. Comparable to the Pyramids and Machu Pichu! Take your chance and book this great 1-Day-Tour!
Jasmine shared lots of information, had great advice, and - most importantly - was very flexible and accommodating. We were a large group (4 adults, 5 kids under 8), and she managed us well and addressed all our needs. She arranged a car, purchased tickets, and kept our herd on schedule. English and Chinese. We got a lot more out of the trip because of her-- e.g., history, local culture, other commentary. Highly recommend!
Jasmin was an excellent guide who talked about the tour in depth spoke good English and we enjoyed the whole trip would recommend this tour
Jasmine Bai arranged for a driver to meet us at the airport and take us to our hotel. Faultless. Jasmine met us the following day and took us to the Terra-cotta Warriors. She was excellent, detailed, educational and most of all a pleasure. We were never rushed and spent several hours - at this unbelievable excavation. From the Terra-cotta warriors back to the City and climbed the Bell Tower and was entertained at the Drum Tower. Both fascinating. Then a stroll through the Muslim Quarter where the street food (particularly the lamb on a stick) is really good. It also provides a little insight into the narrow, busy streets of old Xi'an. Jasmine accompanied us to all stops and continued to provide insight and history. Our day concluded with a trip to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. The following day the driver took us from the hotel back to the airport. The night of our arrival we walk around the "wall" at Jasmine's suggestion. Wonderful experience. So, in summary I give Jasmine Bai my unqualified recommendation - she is highly professional, knowledgeable and pleasant. I recommend her service to all.
We had a great time with Jasmine as our guide. She is a wealth of information and a walking encyclopedia of knowledge for the area. She was able to tailor the day so we spent more time in the areas we wanted to. Highly recommended as a guide. :)
I would like to commend the very friendly and professional guide, Michelle for a job well done touring us in Xian. She exhibited genuine concern and care for my 75 year old mother who had a difficult time walking because of the punishing heat on the day of our tour. She even arranged for a wheelchair to help us move our mother around. She is very knowledgeable about the history of Xian and is fluent in English. Keep up the good work, Michelle.
We did the classic day tour with our tour guide Grace. It was well worth our time. Grace did a great job in taking us to the right spots and explaining us the history at the Terracota Warriors and City Wall in detail. She was very patient and gave us enough time for shopping and guiding us to the genuine shops even for the smallest of our requirements. Kids also enjoyed the trip a lot and the flexible schedule allowed us to concentrate on what they wanted to do especially in the fascinating Muslim street. Highly recommended.
I did a 1 day tour in Xi'an with Jasmine and I can say that it was a very good choice! Communication was smooth, she was very reactive to my questions and wishes and planned a tour including TWC, cave dwellers, Banpo museum to finish the day with a cooking class for dumplings and a great meal in a Xi'an family! Jasmine knows and loves very much the history of Xi'an and China, and she makes you feel it from the very beginning. I particularly enjoyed the visit to the sweet couple still living in a cave outside Xi'an, as well as the dinner with a local family in the evening, it was really a great way to begin exploring. I highly recommend her for your visit to Xi'an, and don't hesitate to ask if you have special requests, Jasmine will for sure do her utmost to make it happen!
We could not have enjoyed ourselves as much without Jasmine's excellent service and knowledge of history of the city and country. It was great to go out to the sights with her during the day and then getting her advice for evenings where we sampled some great local food around our hotel. We were never disappointed. Each day was never rushed and we could enjoy each location and activity in comfort. I saw and understood a lot!
Before I booked our tour in Xi'An- which had to include the Terracotta Warriors, of course- I read EVERY tour description, and Jasmine's was the ONLY one that also went to a truly unique place: to meet the last "cave dwellers" in the area, who still make their lovely home in an historic earthwork cave dwelling that goes back some 200 years. Jasmine is a knowledgeable and excellent guide, and very helpful, and the day we spent with her was great. The Terracotta Warriors and horses, which figured large in my travel dreams for decades, truly have to be seen to be believed- each soldier is literally a hand-finished and unique individual!- and even so, it's still difficult to comprehend the immensity of the undertaking it took to create them, since so many pits remain underground, still to be excavated! Jasmine's private tours are great because you are never rushed, you can stop and enjoy things as you find them, and the vehicle we traveled in was excellent. After our time with the Warriors we went for a delicious lunch (my husband is a chef, so I don't say this lightly), at a totally Chinese restaurant that we never would have found on our own, and then to visit the charming couple who still live in their historic Cave Dwelling home- a truly unique facet of life of rural Xi'An that we would never have even known existed, if not for Jasmine. It was delightful to sit in their courtyard, drink tea and converse with them though Jasmine and learn something about their life and the history of the area. Our final stop was a fascinating and fun walk though the famous Muslim "Food Street" and market to the Great Mosque, which is uniquely Chinese, and uniquely Xi'An. It was a truly great day, and we highly recommend Jasmine and this tour.
Jasmine's knowledge and expertise made the tour so enjoyable. Able to relax in the fact that everything was in her control. The sites were amazing - much more than I ever expected. She is my Wonder Woman.
Our guide Jasmine had us start the day early due to the fact that it was Chinese New Year holidays. She was exceptionally knowledgeable in regards to Chinese history and gave us lots of information while we were travelling. Our driver was very courteous and as we were a slightly older group was happy to assist us in and out of the transport. Our first stop was the Warriors, there was a huge volume of people and we were amazed that Jasmine was able to keep her four Aussie tourists from getting swept away in the surge of people. Lunch was at a local restaurant where we tasted several local dishes that she recommended, all were really tasty. We then went to see the cave dweller which was incredible, that people actually lived permanently in caves carved out by hand. The cave owner was so friendly and showed us around and offered us tea. We then went to see the Muslim Street food area and a Mosque which was a buzz of people again due to New Year. Unfortunately I am unable to post a photo but I can assure you we took plenty. All in all it was an amazing experience made great by our guide and I would recommend this tour to anyone - just maybe not during Chinese New Year. Gail S.
We had the most fantastic tour - Jasmine was our guide, and it couldn't be better. Everything was planned and worked perfectly. Jasmine is very knowledgeable about China's history and modern China. We learned a lot and had three excellent days in Xian. We can only recommend booking a tour with Jasmine and this agency.
Great tour operator in Xi'an that we contacted from Italy and that allowed us to do a perfect tour of Xi'an and that also organized us the day in Luoyang. A special thanks to Jasmine who followed us throughout the tour until boarding at Xi'an airport.
We can only really talk about wonders on this tour. Our guide was Laura who spoke excellent Spanish, knew a lot and guided us great in a visit that included the terracotta warriors, a delicious meal, visit to a cave house and the Muslim neighborhood of Xi’an with visit to the mosque. Very attentive at all times and attentive to our requests. They also gave us some details when they left us at the hotel. Definitely a great choice and more than recommended!
The tour was great, the guide had extensive knowledge of the story and was a very friendly person, qualified and gave us very good recommendations, the food was great as was the Shuttle Service. Thank you!
