    Incredible one day tour with Jackie!

    Hello. Lily's Private Tours is amazing! My tour was a one day tour customised for my own prefences. My enlightened tourguide Jackie took me on a private tour around Xian. We visited 3 temples, the Wild Goose Pagoda, we watched a folk lore show, walked through Datang ever bright city, and had lunch. We also strolled down a upbeat street for where all the young ones hang out. It was pretty awesome. I imagine the night scene would be really inviting to younger crowds. We started at about 8am, we finished at about 4:30pm. It was great timing and very leisurely. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the temples and the differences and similarities... learned about localisation and indigenisation wrt the temples. The folklore was entertaining and brought about a sense of understanding about the culture in Xian and China. We interviewed a college student about his visits to several tempes in Xian. It made the tour even more worthwhile. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and conversations with Jackie. He is an amazing tour guide. I would recommend using Lily's Private Tours! Thank you Lily and Jackie for an amazing experience! Will see you on my next vacay!!! - Kerina.

    Fun and memorable tour!

    I had a good time on this tour with Cathy. She has a lot of knowledge about the warriors and she was always happy to take me and my sister pictures. This made the tour very enjoyable. Having Cathy there made the experience more memorable because I was able to understand and made it very hassle free. She was very sweet and I felt she listened to our needs. The car ride was very comfortable too and very convenient for us. I recommend this tour and I would request Cathy if you can.

    Great tour to learn about Xi’an’s impressive history.

    We loved this tour, during which we learned a lot about Xi’an’s history thanks to Cathy K our guide who was so knowledgeable and interesting to listen to 🙂. In addition she has been very proactive in trying that we wouldn’t suffer too much from the crowd (as we did this visit on a national holiday). The tour was well balanced between walking and resting time, the restaurant we had lunch into was simple yet really nice and we are happy we got the chance to discover it. We can only warmly recommend this tour ☺️.

    Learning a lot about Xi’an’s history!

    This tour is so great. Even the youngest of our 3 kids enjoyed it ! Cathy K our guide was so knowledgeable and her way of telling us about Xi’an’s history was so interesting that we all learned a lot and the day went by really fast ! In addition she was very attentive to our needs and very pro-active in finding ways then we wouldn’t suffer too much from the crowd as we did our tour on a national holiday there really many people. I really strongly recommend this option if you don’t have much time to visit Xi’an.

    A fantastic private and bespoke day tour of Xian

    We had a fantastic private day tour with our family of 5 (3 teenagers) and Michael with the driver Mr Wong. The tour consisted of Xian City Wall, Muslim Quarter and the Terracota Warriors , with lunch at an authentic restaurant trying the famous Biang Biang noodles. Everything was bespoke to our needs as our son has severe autism, ADHD, and all 3 kids with nut allergy. Michael made sure all the scheduling was as perfect as we could imagine it . The tour was made as comfortable as it could in the heat of summer at 35 degrees ! We even cycled a.section of the Xian wall to the kids delight. We would highly recommend Lily's tour with Michael ! Thanks for a perfect day.

    All inclusive Xi'an Most Popular Private Day Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Xian.

    How much does All inclusive Xi'an Most Popular Private Day Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $144 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Xian usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does All inclusive Xi'an Most Popular Private Day Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Xian is not rushed.

    Is All inclusive Xi'an Most Popular Private Day Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 46 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Xian, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule All inclusive Xi'an Most Popular Private Day Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is All inclusive Xi'an Most Popular Private Day Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book All inclusive Xi'an Most Popular Private Day Tour?

    +

    Around 16 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 Xian 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 Xian and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does All inclusive Xi'an Most Popular Private Day Tour 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 Xian 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 Xian?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Xian experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Xi'an Day Tour: Terracotta Army&Optional City Attractions, All-Inclusive Terracotta Army Tour with Premium Buffet Lunch, 2-Day Customized Warriors Tours & Xian Top Attractions. 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 Xian?

    +

    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 Xian?

    +

    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.
