Xi'an Mini Group Half Day Tour, No Shopping

In tourism market, the commission-based shopping stop has become an unspoken rule in arranging tours. Over 90% of the China tour operators from home and abroad include shopping stops in their tours in a hidden or exposed manner. Whereas, we, TravelChinaGuide, are the first and only one to break the scammed rules! All our tours are no shopping and pure sightseeing experiences, but still competitively priced and even lower than most tours.

Taking a shopping tour is not only a waste of time, but a waste of money on those overpriced goods. Usually one or two shopping stops will be arranged each day, and visitors are required to stay at least one hour, then the tour company can get about US$30 kickback per head. Do ask the tour operator directly if there are any shopping stops before booking. Most of the competitors do not have any shopping related words in itineraries, but they do have shopping while on the tour. The so called factory of the Terracotta Army, tea ceremony and many others are all tricks. They will waste your valuable sightseeing time.

Our shopping-free tour can always assure you a trip beyond expectations!

In the morning, your English speaking tour guide and the driver will pick you up from the lobby of your hotel to start this Terracotta Warriors tour. Your guide will inform you the exact pick-up time the day before. We are at your service all the time through telephone, WeChat, or email.

After gathering the group members, we will drive to the museum through highway directly, without any stopovers for tourist shops. It takes around one hour on the way, but you won't feel bored as your expert tour guide will give you a pre-knowledge of the cultural and historical background of the Terracotta Warriors.

Your guide has reserved the tickets for you online in advance. Upon arrival, you can enter the site directly without queuing. Accompanied by the guide, you will explore the Terracotta Army Museum by visiting the three excavated pits and the newly opened exhibition with many undisclosed collections. Although the clay warriors and horses have been buried for more than 2,200 years, they are still vivid with distinct appearances. We schedule no less than two and a half hours for you to delve into this miracle of ancient China.

For lunch today, we leave it on your own to have more flexibilties. There are some fast food chains and local food eateries outside the museum offering adequate and hygienic food. You may choose one to have a simple lunch, which usually costs around US$7 per person. Your guide is always ready to offer suggestions and assistance.

In about one hour, we reach the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda area. Over here your half day Xi’an Terracotta Warriors tour comes to the end. With the Asia’s largest musical fountain in the North Square and the most prosperous Great Tang All Day Mall to the South Square, the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda area is a wonderful place to explore. You may stay here till night to see the amazing night view, or if you want to get back to the hotel directly, your guide will show you the subway station here. We appreciate your time traveling with us!
