Things to do in Xi'an

The Terracotta army did not disappoint was amazing to see in situ. once there you can pay to be taken up to the main area if dont want a long walk. well mapped out. unfortunately you have to walk back (unless we missed it) and its a long walk but through a huge food /shopping area

A small group tour English guide. Chelsea was an amazing tour guide. She's very knowledgeable about the rich history of Xi'an and China. She even recommended some places to visit and Xi'an speciality food to try. I didn't know that 1/2 day tour was with lunch included so it's a bit surprised when Chelsea straight away arranged halal food at a local muslim resto for me and my family after the first meeting! Thank you very much! Highly recommend this tour.

we had an amazing day trip with our tour guide Andrea. she was very good at explaining the itinerary for the day and stories behind each attraction. lunch was delicious, I recommend getting the dumplings and noodles to share! and the Huaqing palace is beautiful!

The stage production and the performance is amazing. Best to understand the story before going to the show so that you are able to have a clearly understanding on the overall performance. The show is outdoor so it will be cold during winter, just have to keep yourself warm.

After watching "赳赳大秦 (The Qin Empire)," I didn't feel excitement, but a deep sense of heaviness. It's not just a simple glorification of the empire's strength, but it allows you to see how a country is built step by step through discipline, fear, sacrifice, and belief. Qin is cold and ruthless. But precisely because of this, it was able to stand its ground in a chaotic world. Standing in front of the stage, watching the momentum of thousands of troops, I suddenly understood: "赳赳 (Jiū Jiū)" is not arrogance, but a choice forced out by the times. Behind the strength lies the silence of countless nameless people; behind the unification are individual destinies that can never return. This is not a performance that makes people feel relaxed, but a reminder that the weight of history is never romantic.

Everything is good. The guide was there early to engage thd group. The guide give good and detail explanation of the key exhibits.

We had a private tour in Xi’an visiting the Terracotta Army, the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, and Huaqing Palace, and it was an outstanding experience — mainly thanks to our guide, Sophia. Sophia has a deep knowledge of Chinese history and the sites we visited, explaining everything clearly and in a very engaging way. She is extremely intelligent, well-informed, friendly, and attentive, always making us feel comfortable and involved throughout the tour. What made the experience even more special was her genuine curiosity and interest in Brazilian culture. She asked thoughtful questions and created a real cultural exchange, which made the tour feel personal and meaningful, not just informational. The places themselves are incredible, but they became even better with Sophia’s guidance. We also appreciated our driver, Mr. Wang, who was professional and kind. We truly loved this tour and highly recommend Sophia to anyone visiting Xi’an.

"The meeting point is at Sa Jin Qiao Subway Exit B, which makes it easier and faster for guests to find the team. The service is excellent."

Since it was a local group tour, all the travelers and the guide were Chinese and the tour was guided in Chinese. We were the only foreigners, but there were no problems with sightseeing. I don't speak Chinese at all, but I used a translator and had no problems communicating. In terms of cost-effectiveness among Hukou Waterfall tour packages, I don't think there's anything better than this. If you make a reservation, the travel agency will send you a friend request via WeChat, and if you add them as a friend, they will inform you of the bus pick-up location and time. We traveled in a 3-row premium bus. (The front and back spacing is narrow.) Admission tickets, bus fare within Hukou, and group lunch costs are separate.
