Two days that cover the sights most people come to Xi'an for, with a private guide and car. The first day runs east to the Terracotta Warriors, then back into the city for the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and an evening at Datang Everbright City. The second stays inside the old walled city: the Ming Dynasty City Wall, the Bell and Drum Tower Square, and the Muslim Quarter for food and the lanes behind the Drum Tower. Your English-speaking guide handles tickets and pacing, and your driver keeps the private car with you throughout, so bags ride in the vehicle and you can adjust the order as you go. Pickup and drop-off are at your Xi'an hotel or a Xi'an train station. Lunch is left open on purpose, so your guide takes you to a local eatery and you pay for what you order.

Day 1 Xi'an: Terracotta Warriors, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Datang Everbright City
Day 2 Xi'an: Ancient City Wall, Bell and Drum Tower Square, Muslim Quarter
In the morning your guide meets you at the exit of a Xi'an train station or in the lobby of your Xi'an hotel, holding a "Your Way Holiday" sign, and you travel on by private air-conditioned car with a dedicated driver. This is the first of two days in Xi'an, and today covers the Terracotta Warriors, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and Datang Everbright City in the evening. Your guide handles the tickets and the timing so the day runs smoothly.
The morning is spent at the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum in Lintong, about 40 km east of the city. Farmers sinking a well found the site in 1974, and it is a burial army made for Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of a unified China, more than 2,000 years ago. Over 8,000 soldiers, horses, and chariots have been recovered from the pits, each face modeled separately. Your guide walks you through the excavation halls and explains how the figures were made, arranged, and preserved, and what the find shows about the Qin army.
After the museum your guide takes you to a local restaurant for lunch. Meals are left out of the price on purpose, so you order what you like and pay for what you eat. Xi'an plates to look for are yangrou paomo, a lamb broth with torn bread, roujiamo, a meat filling in crispy flatbread, and hand-pulled or cold noodles. Tell your guide about any dietary needs and they will help you choose a place and a dish that suits you.
In the afternoon you visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, a seven-story brick tower raised in the 7th century under the Tang dynasty to hold the Sanskrit scriptures and Buddhist relics the monk Xuanzang carried back from India. It stands inside the Da Ci'en Temple and is part of a UNESCO World Heritage listing. You can climb the tower if you wish for a view over the temple grounds and the city beyond, and your guide explains its place in Tang-era Buddhist scholarship.
The day ends at Datang Everbright City, a large pedestrian complex built around Tang-dynasty architecture and lit strongly after dark. It is best known for its evening lights, fountains, and street performances, and it fills with food stalls and shops. Your guide shows you the main street and a good viewing point for the night light show, and you have free time to walk, eat a snack, or look around at your own pace.
At the end of the day your driver takes you back to your Xi'an hotel, and your guide helps with anything you still need, such as an evening recommendation or the start time for tomorrow. The private car and driver stay with you throughout, so your bags ride in the vehicle and you can adjust the pace as the day goes on. The rest of the evening is yours to rest.
After breakfast your guide meets you in the lobby of your Xi'an hotel and you set out by private car with your driver for the second and last day. Today stays within the old walled city: the City Wall first, then the Bell and Drum Tower Square, and the Muslim Quarter for the afternoon and early evening. Your guide runs the tickets and the order so you make the most of the hours you have.
The first stop is the Xi'an Ancient City Wall, one of the most complete city walls still standing in China. Built in the early Ming dynasty, it runs about 13.7 km around the old town, and the top is wide enough to walk or rent a bike on. From the ramparts you look down on the restored gate towers and the streets outside. Your guide covers how the wall was raised, where the gates, watchtowers, and moat were placed, and how the fortification was defended.
Next is the Bell and Drum Tower Square at the center of the city. The Bell Tower marks the crossing of the four main streets, and the Drum Tower stands a short walk away; both kept time for the old town, the bell at dawn and the drum at dusk. You can climb either for a level view down each street and see a model of the old city layout. The square is busiest and most attractive in the evening light, when both towers are lit.
The afternoon belongs to the Muslim Quarter, the lane district behind the Drum Tower that the Silk Road made famous for its Hui cooking. It is mainly a place to eat and browse: stalls sell roujiamo, biang biang noodles, persimmon cakes, and dried fruit, and the back lanes lead toward the Great Mosque. Your guide sets an order for the lanes so you reach the liveliest streets without doubling back, and can point out which foods are worth stopping for. Food here is bought as you go, so you pay only for what you try.
At the end of the day your guide and driver take you back to your Xi'an hotel or to a Xi'an train station, whichever suits your onward plans. The private car stays with you throughout both days, so your bags ride in the vehicle and the pace is yours to set. Tell your guide in advance if you would rather trade time between the wall and the lanes, or want help reaching your next city.
It is a private tour. Only your party travels with the guide and driver, and the car is yours for both days.
Entrance tickets to the sights named in the itinerary, an English-speaking local guide, a private air-conditioned car with driver, pickup and drop-off at your Xi'an hotel or a Xi'an train station, and bottled water. Meals, tips, and optional extras such as bike rental on the wall are not included.
No. Pickup and drop-off are at your Xi'an hotel or a Xi'an train station. Tell us which one works and we plan the day around it.
No, on purpose. Your guide takes you to a local restaurant where you order what you like and pay for what you eat. Vegetarian and halal dishes are easy to arrange.
Two days and one night. The first day covers the Terracotta Warriors, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and Datang Everbright City; the second covers the City Wall, the Bell and Drum Towers, and the Muslim Quarter.
Yes. Because the guide and car are private, you can shift the order or spend longer at one stop; just tell your guide at the start of the day.

Two days was a good length to see Xi’an without hurrying. Day one was the Warriors and museum, day two the old city and Datang Everbright City at night, which was magical all lit up. The guide remembered we liked dumplings and pointed us to a place on our free evening. Hotel pickup and tickets were all sorted, would book again.

Glad two days felt just right, Hannah. Datang Everbright City after dark is a favorite of ours too. Small things like remembering the dumpling preference are exactly where private guiding earns its keep. Thanks for the kind words.

My family and I traveled from Beijing to Xi'an for a two-day trip, and the experience was truly wonderful. We were traveling with our toddler daughter, and our guide, Sunny, was incredibly professional, patient, and attentive to our needs and slower pace. She brought us to a great, child-friendly restaurant and was always ready to lend a hand whenever needed. Her explanations about the Terracotta Warriors were detailed and insightful, and her English was excellent. Overall, it was a smooth, enjoyable, and top notch experience!

Hi Botond, traveling with a toddler is no small thing, so I'm really glad Sunny could slow the pace and pick child-friendly stops. That flexibility is exactly what private tours are for. Thanks for trusting us.

We had an awesome private day tour with our family of 5 (including 3 teenagers) and Michael, along with our driver, Mr. Wong. We checked out the Xi'an City Wall, Muslim Quarter, and the Terracotta Warriors, and had lunch at a great spot where we tried the famous Biang Biang noodles. Michael really went out of his way to make everything perfect for us. Even though it was blazing hot at 35 degrees, he made sure we were comfortable. The kids had a blast cycling a part of the Xi'an Wall. We highly recommend Lily's tour with Michael—thanks for making it such a great day!

Hi Loke, three teenagers on one tour is its own challenge and Michael plus Mr. Wong handled it beautifully - Wall, Muslim Quarter and a good lunch spot too.

We recently went on a tour of China that included Xi'an as an optional extra. We ticked the box to visit Xi'an and were rewarded with a fantastic, not-to-be-forgotten experience, and easily the highlight of our trip. The Xi'an City Wall was a standout. I feel for those other tourists who didn't tick the Xi'an box—they might have saved a few dollars but missed a remarkable place, surely a wonder of the world. If you plan to visit China, make sure Xi'an is on the itinerary.

Hi Daniel, sometimes the add-on day surprises people the most, and it sounds like Xi'an stole the whole trip for you. The Wall at golden hour does that.

Xi'an is truly a historical gem, with the Terracotta Warriors and Big Goose Pagoda being standout highlights. Our 2-day trip was well-organized thanks to Lily and Bonnie, making the most of every moment. We enjoyed the Tang Dynasty Show, explored the Bell Tower, wandered through the lively Muslim Quarter, and walked the ancient City Wall. The Shaanxi History Museum was a fantastic addition. Our hotel was very comfortable, which was a relief after our long, busy days. For a more relaxed visit, consider extending your stay. This tour fit perfectly between our Beijing commitments, and we highly recommend it for anyone eager to dive into Xi'an’s rich history.

Hi Leah, Lily and Bonnie run a tight, fun two days, and I'm glad the Warriors and the Pagoda were standouts for you. Thanks for the great note.

My wife and i had a very nice tour with Ben. We visited the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, Xian Ancient City Wall, Big Wild Goose Pagoda and Ben knows his home town very well and gave us an informative tour. His English and knowledge were both excellent. Our driver, Mr.Zhang was friendly and polite. They made the tour more interesting and meaningful, unlike those local tour groups, they doesn't bring you to any jade shops which is waste of time. I cannot say enough good things about their service. Best deal I made on my on my Xian trip. I would recommend this guide to anyone who want a hassle-free trip to Xian.

We just returned from Xian and wanted to share our tour experience with you. I found Xian Private Tour online, they are very resposible and customized the tour I wanted. Our tour covers all Xian highlights, we went to Big Wild Goose Gogoda, Shaanxi History Museum, Xian Ancient City Wall, Banpo Museum, Terracotta Warriors, every site was incredible.
We choose to travel on weekends, most of the attractions are very busy, but our guide John is very smart and flexible, he can always lead us to avoid the crowd and find the best viewing place. We got a lot of valuable information in the terra cotta warriors and the History Museum, and his explanation was very accurate and passionate. John was consistently caring about the welfare of us and made sure that everyone was comfortable. The restaurant was also very good, we experienced a lot of Xi'an cuisine. All in all, it was a wonderful two days tour in Xian.

We are loyal fans of the terracotta warriors and horses. We have been looking forward a trip to Xi'an for a long time, and this time it has come true. We found the this travel agency-Xian Private Tour onlie and asked about the relevant matters. They responded very quickly and customized our favorite tourism product and we choose the Xi'an Terracotta Warriors Tour & Warriors DIY finally.
We got the new friends in Xi'an, who is our excellent tour guide Lucy. She spoke great English, very friendly, humorous and we enjoyed our Xian tour very much. On the way to the terracotta warriors and horses, the tour guide told us all about Xi'an, including history, culture, customs, as well as the knowledge about terracotta warriors and horses. After seeing the terra cotta warriors and horses, we were shocked by the spectacular scene. The guide was very wise to lead us to find the best view of the terracotta warriors and horses. And the Terracotta Warriors DIY program were assigned to the nearby DIY factory, a very professional master to lead us DIY our own terracotta warriors and horses and the tour guide accompanied us and patiently translated all the steps, which is one of our favorite projects.
In short, we enjoyed our Xi'an tour very much. Nice to meet you Lucy! Highly recommend!

I don't have any idea for my first time tour Xian China, I contacted Xian Private Tour and tour consultant was e-mail to me following day then I got start my tour plan. My guide Anna and my driver Mr. Zhang both are so kind and we had great two days. Met with smile at Xian airport and given a friendly and relaxed introduction. Refreshingly, Anna started off with some small-talk and worked to get to know me before getting into the schedule, which laid a great foundation of rapport for the rest of the trip.
Anna did an excellent 5-star job! Her English was great and I understood her perfectly. I visited so many places and Anna always told me a lot of the history and information about the sites, buildings and the city. It is amazing how many background knowledgeable she has.
My driver, Mr. Zhang, was a very safe and professional driver navigating the Xian traffic. He was always able to drop me off very close to attractions and promptly pick me up. The car was very clean and comfortable. Mr. Zhang always had water ready for me, was polite and always open my door to make sure I didn't have to get in or out of the car in close traffic.
Overall, I'm very happy I booked through Xian Private Tour. I was given a great tour guide, a modern car to drive in, a busy but manageable schedule, and left with a taste of Xian and wanting more. Highly recommend Xian Private Tour if you are going to Xian.
