Review for: Xi'an Terracotta Warriors & Huaqing Palace Full-Day Tour

We purchased a private one-day tour, and a minivan provided dedicated transportation. The guide contacted us the night before, and the day's itinerary was perfectly planned! The guide's historical explanations were rich, exciting, and interesting! The only downside was that the weather happened to be very hot, making the walking portion a bit difficult and tiring.

Received a message at 5:30 am to inform that the waiting area was not our hotel. It is 600 metre away in a different street. Still, we manage to find our way. Coach was late by 15 min though we were told to be there by 7 am. From there, it brought us to a holding site for transfer. The guide would call out your names and assign you another coach to take. By then, it was 8 am when we depart for our tour. This timing of the year is packed with people. The Huaqing Palace was ok. We gave it a miss to sign up for a performance relating to Xi’an Incident in the 40’s. I only recall the ticket was not cheap. The terracotta site was even more ‘treacherous’. You need to stand under the sun to get into Pit 1. Inside the pit, you are again fighting another battle for space. Pit 3 and Pit 2 were manageable. Coach did not drop us at the assigned location upon return. Need to walk a distance. I won’t suggest to come during summer when they are tonnes of people in the city.
