Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum Private Tour

Book this 4-hour, guided tour and get the chance to see what is widely considered to be one of the most significant archaeological discoveries of the 20th century: the Terracotta Army. Meet your guide at the lobby of your hotel in Xian city centre to start this tour. You can choose the morning shift that starts with a pickup at 8:30 AM or go for one starting at 1:00 in the afternoon.

Head for Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum. See life-size terracotta figures arranged in a typical battle formation, in 11 columns, comprising officers, soldiers holding spears and swords and others steering horse-drawn chariots, as if ready for one last battle. These figures are replicas of what Qin Shi Huang’s (the first emperor of China) imperial army looked like 22,00 years years ago.

Different pits in the museum have different figures – ranging from military personnel to musicians, acrobats and strongmen. After you are done exploring the museum, we will take you to an arts and crafts factory where you’ll get the chance to see terracotta army statues being made and have the opportunity to buy one if you want to.

We will transfer you back to your hotel in Xian after the trip is over.
