Xi'an Private Tours – Discover Terracotta Warriors & Silk Road Heritages

As one of China's greatest ancient capitals, Xi'an is where thousands of years of Chinese civilization come together. From the Qin Dynasty and the Terracotta Warriors to the Silk Road and the golden age of the Tang Dynasty, the city offers a rare opportunity to understand the stories, traditions, and cultures that shaped China.

Walk Through the History That Built China
Xi'an was once the capital of 13 dynasties and the starting point of the Silk Road. Our local guides don't just take you to famous landmarks — they explain the stories behind the emperors, ancient civilizations, and historical events that bring each place to life.

Experience the Terracotta Warriors in a More Meaningful Way
The Terracotta Warriors are one of the world's greatest archaeological discoveries, but the real experience comes from understanding the history behind them. We carefully plan your visit, choose the right timing, and provide detailed explanations so you can appreciate the craftsmanship, ambition, and stories behind this incredible site.

Discover the Spirit of Tang Dynasty & Local Life
Beyond ancient history, Xian is a city full of character. Explore the atmosphere of old neighborhoods, taste local cuisine, experience traditional culture, and see how centuries-old traditions continue in modern daily life.

Travel With a Local Team Who Truly Knows Xian
As a local travel agency, we create Xian private tours based on real experience rather than standard routes. We focus on thoughtful planning, comfortable pacing, and personal service — from arranging the best itinerary to sharing the stories that most travelers would otherwise miss.

What Our Travelers Say

Fenghuang ancient water town with stone arch bridges and traditional buildings at sunrise
Marlowe
August 21, 2026
I had never traveled around China by high-speed train before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Once we got the hang of it, it was actually one of the easiest parts of the trip. Having someone meet us at the stations was especially helpful because some of the stations are enormous. We could just get off the train, find our driver and move on.

August 18, 2026
If you like old architecture, bring a camera. Badaguan was probably my favorite part because every street seemed to have a slightly different look. The church and railway station were also great photo stops. I liked that the tour wasn't only about famous sights — there was plenty of time to notice small details along the way.

August 18, 2026
I knew Mount Tai would be the big highlight for me, but it was still better than expected. The views kept changing as we went higher, and there was something really special about seeing the old temples and inscriptions along the mountain. The whole trip was also very well organized. We had enough time at each place without feeling like we were constantly watching the clock.

August 18, 2026
We really enjoyed the tour, although there is definitely a fair amount of walking, so comfortable shoes are a must. The old streets were probably my favorite part because there was something interesting around every corner. Baotu Spring was busy when we visited, but the water itself was beautiful. Overall, it was a very nice way to see the central part of Jinan in one day.

August 18, 2026
We only had half a day in Jinan, so this route worked really well for us. It felt like a good balance between seeing the famous sights and getting into the older parts of the city. I especially liked how relaxed the walking section was. Our driver was on time, communication was easy, and we never felt rushed.

Orlaith
August 18, 2026
There are definitely some long drives on this itinerary, so I wasn't sure how I would feel about that beforehand. Surprisingly, I didn't mind them much. The scenery changes constantly, and we passed through so many green mountain areas that I found myself looking out the window most of the time.
The whole trip also felt quite different from our previous China trips. It was less about famous city landmarks and more about landscapes, villages and seeing a different side of everyday life.

Callum
August 18, 2026
I originally booked this mainly for Huangguoshu Waterfall, but the whole route ended up being much more interesting. The scenery around Xingyi was probably my favorite part. I loved the quieter roads, mountain views and small villages along the way. Our driver was also very helpful and always on time, which made the longer driving days much easier.

Carys
August 18, 2026
I booked this because I wanted something more cultural and less focused on the usual sightseeing spots, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. Langde and Basha were interesting for different reasons, but Zhaoxing was probably my favorite. Walking around in the evening with all the wooden houses and lights coming on was beautiful. The itinerary is fairly full, but it never felt like we were just jumping off the car, taking a photo and leaving. We had time to walk around and actually look at the villages. Lunches were simple and local, which I preferred.

Cormac
August 18, 2026
Yangshuo was easily my favorite part of the trip. The sidecar ride was brilliant because we were out on small country roads with the karst mountains all around us. It felt much more memorable than seeing the same landscape from a tour bus. West Street was fun too, although very different from the countryside. The cooking class in the afternoon was also surprisingly enjoyable. We actually cooked rather than just watching someone else do everything.
Yingtianmen Gate of ancient Sui-Tang Luoyang imperial city, grand Tang dynasty architecture

August 14, 2026
The Hanfu evening was something I almost skipped because I thought it might be too touristy. I'm very glad I didn't. Walking around Luoyi Ancient City dressed up, with the lights coming on and little performances happening around the streets, was genuinely fun. It was probably the most playful part of the trip after several days of museums and historical sites. Also, I ate far too many snacks that night.
Blooming peonies and ancient Chinese pavilion during Luoyang Peony Festival
Niall
August 13, 2026
The peonies were the main reason I booked this trip, and luckily they were in really good shape when we visited. The National Peony Garden was huge and there were so many different colors that I probably took too many photos.
I also liked that the tour didn't make the whole trip about flowers. Longmen Grottoes was completely different and probably the most memorable place overall. Our guide gave us enough background to understand what we were looking at, but we still had time to wander around by ourselves.
The train station pickup and drop-off were also very convenient. For a short two-day trip, everything felt quite straightforward.

August 13, 2026
I thought the Hanfu experience would mainly be about getting dressed up and taking a few photos, but I ended up enjoying the whole day much more than expected. The hair and makeup were beautifully done, and everything felt quite natural once we were out exploring.
We visited a few of Luoyang's historic places along the way, but the best part was simply walking around in Hanfu and having time to enjoy the atmosphere. The whole day felt relaxed and fun, and I came home with some of my favorite photos from the trip.
Shaolin monks performing traditional martial arts stage show at Shaolin Temple
Orlaith
August 13, 2026
I was expecting this to be mostly a Shaolin Temple sightseeing trip, so the morning at the martial arts school was a really nice surprise. We got there early and watched the students training before joining some of the basic exercises. I lasted considerably less time than they did! The two-hour Kung Fu lesson was probably my favorite part. It was much more about stance, balance and repetition than I expected, which made me appreciate the performance on the last day a lot more. The driver was also very punctual throughout the trip, which made everything feel easy.

Niamh
August 13, 2026
Before the trip, I was mostly interested in Luoyang and Shaolin, so I wasn't expecting Kaifeng to be my favorite day. Longting and the Iron Pagoda were interesting, but Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden was what really stayed with me. We went in the afternoon and the atmosphere gradually became more lively. The old-style streets, bridges and waterways made it easy to imagine what a busy Song Dynasty city might have felt like. It was also nice to have a day that wasn't just about temples and monuments.

Mireille
August 13, 2026
We visited in summer and, wow, Luoyang was hot. Longmen was still absolutely worth it, but bring water and wear comfortable shoes! We were glad the day wasn't packed with outdoor sights. After spending a few hours at Longmen, we were definitely ready for some air conditioning and a cold drink. The next morning at White Horse Temple felt much easier, and having a slower start made a big difference.

August 13, 2026
I came mostly for Shaolin Kung Fu, but the temple and Pagoda Forest gave me a much better understanding of where the tradition comes from. The temple grounds were quite peaceful, which I wasn't really expecting. The Kung Fu performance was definitely the most fun part for me. Some of the movements looked almost impossible. Our driver was also very punctual, which made the second day much easier since we had a train to catch afterward.

August 13, 2026
I originally thought we could just take taxis between everything ourselves. After looking at the locations, I changed my mind. Having the car waiting for us made a big difference, especially with only one day. The driver was on time, the vehicle was comfortable, and we didn't waste time figuring out where to go next. I also liked that we weren't pushed through the Old Town. We had some free time to wander around and grab snacks. Small thing, but it made the day feel much more like a trip and less like a checklist.

Elara
August 12, 2026
I was a little worried about doing Longmen Grottoes and Shaolin Temple in one day, but the whole thing was much easier than I expected. The driver was already waiting when we arrived in Luoyang and everything moved pretty smoothly from there. I especially liked that we didn't have to think about getting from Luoyang to Dengfeng ourselves. The day was busy, but it never felt chaotic.
Classical Chinese pavilion and clear spring water at Baotu Spring Park, Jinan
Ivo Merritt
August 12, 2026
We considered doing Jinan, Mount Tai and Qufu on our own, but after looking at the transport between the three places, we decided to book a private tour.
Honestly, it saved us a lot of hassle. The driver was already waiting when we came out of the hotel, the transfers were smooth, and we didn't spend half the day figuring out where to go next. We could also leave our luggage in the car during the transfers. The itinerary is fairly full, but the organization made it manageable.
Colorful stalactite and stalagmite landscape inside Tai'an Underground Dragon Palace
Tavian Brooks
August 12, 2026
I wasn't sure what to expect from the Underground Dragon Palace, but the rafting ended up being one of the funniest parts of the trip. It's not some crazy white-water ride, so don't expect that — it's more of a strange and enjoyable way to see the cave. After spending most of the previous day climbing stairs, sitting in a raft underground felt pretty perfect. The cave itself was also much bigger than I expected.
