We highly recommend SKIP THE LINE: Xian History & Culture Tour with Terracotta Warriors. This tour covers the top Xian highlights, let you visit the essence of Xian just in one day.
6. Is vegetarian food an option on this all inclusive Xian day tour?
Definitely yes! Xian is a food paradise and there are a lot of vegetarian restaurants. During this tour, you don't need to worry about anything when you eating, you guide will give you a whole range of perfect solutions if you'd like to focus on a meat-free trip.
7. May I know if there is a weight restriction on the plank walk? If the harnesses were meant for americans?
No weight restriction, everyone can walk this trail. The Huashan Plank Walk is world's most dangerous hike, it is not very wide, one misstep and you fall 2155m. Complete focus is very important! To keep safety, before you walk on the plank walk, you are given a little harness to wear with two hooks to attach to the chains, it is not only for americans, but for everyone.
8. My flight from Beijing to Xian arrives at 10:00am, is there a later tour for my family?
The Most Recommended Half Day Terracotta Warriors Tour is what we highly recommend according to your time schedule. Pickup service can be arranged at the Xian Xianyang Airport, it takes around one hour to reach the Terracotta Army, and takes around 3-4 hours for sightseeing, you'll have enough time to explore the site. If you only want to see city highlights, you can book half day Xian city tour with Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Ancient City Wall and Muslim Quarter. By the way, we provide transfer service from Beijing hotel to Beijing International Airport and air ticket booking service as well. Feel free to email us if you have any questions.
9. Can we request Halal/Muslim meal during the tour?
Halal/Muslim food is available during the tour. The ancient China Silk Road exposed Xian to an influx of goods, cultures and religions. It was in Xi'an that the largest Muslim community was formed. Thus, you can find the authentic Halal/Muslim food in Xian, you guide will give you good recommendations on spot.
10. We are interested in your Xian History & Culture Tour with Terracotta Warriors on 10th Oct, but we would like to visit also Muslim Quarter. Would it be possible to customize the tour to include it?
All our Xian tours can be customizable. The Muslim Quarter can be included in this tour if you want, but it night make your day tour a little bit tight, as the Terracotta Warriors is not in Xian downtown, it takes around 40 minutes for one way driving. There is no entrance fee for Muslim Quarter, if you still have time left after finished all the sites, you guide will take you to Muslim Quarter, no extra charge, or you can visit Muslim Quarter to replace one of the attractions. Please advise.
