Great tour
This was such a great tour, Maria was an excellent guide, she and the driver were there to pick me up from my hotel in time, and they were both very freindly and helpful. Maria spoke good English, and was a wealth of knowledge, she explained everything throughout the tour, and went out of her way to show me around the city after visiting the terracotta Army, highly recommend.

A memorable tour with Jerry
Jerry is a gifted guide. A natural storyteller who brings the ancient history of Xi’an to life. This was my second tour with Jerry after first travelling in Xi’an with him in 2021. His knowledge of the city, the Terracotta Warriors, culture, cuisine and history is remarkable. Jerry recommended a wonderful, incredibly well-priced hotel I would never have found on my own. He took us to an excellent restaurant and recommended many more. He also booked us into a fantastic performance at the theatre and a brilliant museum. I have lived in China since 2019 and have not met a better guide. Special thanks also to Jerry’s terrific driver, Tom. I am already planning another trip to Xi’an so I can see more attractions with Jerry and learn more about Xi’an.

Great experience in Xi'an
This was my second trip to Xian and the warriors and this time was even better. Our guide, Jerry, was fantastic. He was very interesting and had great English. He also gave a good tour of the city wall and helped us to book a show in the evening. Tom, our driver, was also excellent and gave us a smooth journey. Highly recommended.

Private Day tour of Terracotta Warriors & Xi'an
We had a great private day tour. Olivia was very organised and responsive with our enquiries and booking process. Our guide Lucy Liu was excellent in looking after us. We brought our 80 year old mum who needs a wheelchair and speak Chinese only while my wife and I speak English. Lucy managed the day very well explaining in both Chinese to my mum and in English to us. Everything was customised to our preference, including the pace of the tour, the amount of explanation, where to eat and go. Although we borrowed wheelchair from our Hilton hotel, at the Terracotta warriors site we found people who offer wheelchair services for RMB300 to go through pit 1,2,3. We found this very helpful if you have elderly people especially in a hot Xi'an summer. They know where the ramps are and the viewing spots with priority for the disabled. After visiting the museum we had lunch at a local noodle restaurant and Lucy made good recommendations for the local dishes. In the afternoon we went to Xian City passing by the popular locations, ending with a walk in the Muslim quarters where Lucy explained all the local snacks. We highly recommend Terracotta Warriors Tour which is priced reasonably (not the highest, not the lowest), provided great responsive service and guide, good clean car and safe driver. The only disadvantage is that we need to wait for our guide to queue to buy the ticket. We highly recommend this operator to our friends.

All-Inclusive Xian Private Tour: Terracotta Army and Customizable Sites: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Xian.
How much does All-Inclusive Xian Private Tour: Terracotta Army and Customizable Sites cost?
+
Prices start at $285 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 Xian Private Tour: Terracotta Army and Customizable Sites 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 Xian Private Tour: Terracotta Army and Customizable Sites worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 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 last minute in Xian, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule All-Inclusive Xian Private Tour: Terracotta Army and Customizable Sites?
+
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 Xian Private Tour: Terracotta Army and Customizable Sites 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 Xian Private Tour: Terracotta Army and Customizable Sites?
+
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 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 Xian Private Tour: Terracotta Army and Customizable Sites 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 Mini Group Xian Day Tour to Terracotta Army, City Wall, Pagoda and Muslim Bazaar, All-Inclusive Terracotta Army Tour with Premium Buffet Lunch, Private Xi'an Day Tour: Terracotta Army&Optional City 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.
What is included in All-Inclusive Xian Private Tour: Terracotta Army and Customizable Sites?
