China · WALKING TOURS IN XI'AN
Good walking tours in Xi'an fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Taste Xi’an’s Muslim Quarter with a private English guide, local snacks, and a choice of the Great Mosque or Gaojia Courtyard.
“Perfect. Couldn't have asked for a better guide. Patient and helpful as well as knowledgeable. We covered two food areas and she recommended some great food to try. Definitely a must tour when you come to Xian”
Taste Xi’an’s Muslim Quarter, explore local food stalls, and watch the Wild Goose Pagoda fountain on a private three-hour tour.
“I would have never guessed that such a vibrant ethnic market existed in Xian, much less have had the ability to explore it successfully without the help of our local guide. She was able to take us through a plethora of back alleys and introduce us to the most local food one could ask for on holiday.”
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”
Explore Xi’an’s Big Wild Goose Pagoda with a private English guide, subway ride, Tang Dynasty history, Buddhist art, and optional tower climb.
“The guide didn’t come and even didn’t call us. Don’t book anything with this agency.”
Start with a city. Or start with the thing you came for.
