Review of Xi’an’s $20 Terracotta Army group tour, with hotel pickup, English guide, ticket reservation, local lunch, and practical tips.

“Booked only tickets. Descriptions of options are understandable even taking into account computer translation. The booking process is simple, the Zepter Bank card (Minsk) was accepted the first time. I liked the English-language support of managers after the completion of the booking (by WhatsApp). The passage process is very simple - the employee scans your passport. It is best to book only a ticket if you want an English-language audio guide, you can take on the spot, 30 yuan rental, 100 deposit. There are a lot of people, the guides of the group are rushing, and you yourself can carefully examine everything, return if you want, wait until the best…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 17 reviews · 2 - 5 hours · from $26

Visit Xi’an’s Terracotta Army with entry tickets, an English-speaking guide, or private transport from your hotel, airport, or railway station.

“Our guide Henry was nice and friendly and very prepared. Entering the site without a guide is a bit of a problem if you want to know the story of the discovery because there are no descriptions. It’s interesting listening to the ancient history of the site and the description of every type of warriors. He was very kind and provided us with fresh water every now and then. In the middle of the summer with thousands of tourists, he was able to find the good spots to see. Good price, perfect experience. Very recommended”
