A great experience
Although we booked late, the arrangements for the trip were very well handled, with extremely good communications from Lenna Liang of China Xian Tours. The drivers arrived spot on time and our guides were waiting for us at the train station when we started the tour. This trip was made extra special by our guide, Candy. She was extremely knowledgeable and spoke English very well (unlike supposedly English-speaking tour guides from other operators). Nothing was too much trouble for her. Our drivers were also very good both to and from the station in Beijing and during our trip in Xian. Together, the staff at China Xian Tours made this the highlight of our trip to China and we would fully recommend the tour to anybody - something we rarely do!
Response from the operator: Dear Anthony, We’re so grateful for your favorable comments. It’s our pleasure to plan your Beijing-Xian bullet train tour. I’m so happy that you had a great time with our guide Candy and drivers. We are truly proud of them. I will share your nice review with them. Thanks again for fully recommending us. Sincerely hope we will have opportunities to provide service for you again. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you travel to China in the future. We will be honored to be helpful for you. Sincerely, Lenna | China Xian Tour

Excelent experience with a nice private guideguide. Lenna from the tour operatoria was always in contac with me to check
Terracota warriors were amazing and the tour guide explained me everything. Lenna from the tour operator was always in contact with me to check that everything was going okay.
Response from the operator: Hi, We are so grateful for you to choose our service and give us such nice comment. Your satisfaction is our highest goal. We are so glad that all arrangements went smooth and you enjoyed the tour with our guide. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you travel to China in the future. We are looking forward to meeting you again. Thanks again for your recommendation. Sincerely, Lenna | China Xian Tour

Fabulous experience. All the...
<p>Fabulous experience. All the drivers and guides were great. Everything went so smooth not a glich in the deal. Worth the money. The lunch we had was probably the best meal we had in China.</p>

As advertised -- you get the premium...
<p>As advertised -- you get the premium service that you are paying for, but...</p> <p>I felt rushed. Imagine waking up early and taking the train from Washington, DC to Chicago, having dinner, then lunch the next day, and returning to DC in time to go to bed. That is about what happens here. Since hotel is not included, it would not cost the tour operator anything to offer additional unguided days for the same price. Three or four days in Xian would be welcome, since you've invested 12 hours getting there and back, over less than two days.</p> <p>First stop after leaving the train station was the city wall. For an investment of I think 90 RMB and 1- 1.5 hours, you can ride a bike around the top of the city wall. Had I thought about it more, I would have sprung for a bike for our guide too. Recall as you ride around the city that it was a stop on the Silk Road, visited by the likes of Marco Polo.</p> <p>Lunch after the warriors the next day was at a genuinely fancy place. I felt a tad underdressed in my tourist clothes, but my biggest issue of the whole trip is that the guide was not allowed to dine with us. Add 20 to the price for her meal and let me continue to learn about Xian from the guide please! Kelly was great company and a great guide. It was a shame to sit there knowing that she was nearby, yet not able to continue to educate me over a pleasant meal. </p> <p>Hotel and train station pick-ups went off without a hitch, and our guide was great. For two of us, we were provided with a minivan, driver, and guide. Overall it is a well-run operation. Be sure to visit the Muslim Quarter in the evening -- it is a memorable experience.</p>

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2-Day Xian Highlights Tour from Beijing: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does 2-Day Xian Highlights Tour from Beijing cost?
+
Prices start at $215 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Beijing usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2-Day Xian Highlights Tour from Beijing take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Beijing is not rushed.
Is 2-Day Xian Highlights Tour from Beijing worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Beijing, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day Xian Highlights Tour from Beijing?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 2-Day Xian Highlights Tour from Beijing suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2-Day Xian Highlights Tour from Beijing?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Beijing can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Beijing and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Day Xian Highlights Tour from Beijing start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Beijing within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Beijing?
+
On Outty we rank every Beijing experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mubus: Mutianyu Great Wall Bus Tour with Summer Palace Options, Beijing: Top 6 Highlights All Inclusive 2-Day Private Tour, Private Mutianyu Great Wall Trip With English-Speaking Driver. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Beijing?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Beijing?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
