Highly Recommend - Qinqin Was Amazing!
Qinqin was a very fun and friendly English-speaking guide and knew an incredible amount about the history of the area and the attraction. Lunch was fantastic. We got picked up at our hotel and taken there very easily. We weren’t rushed at all at the site and got to explore everything without feeling like it was too long either. I highly recommend this service!

Thoroughly enjoyed it, well worth the money.
Thoroughly enjoyed this tour, very good guide, we got to the main site at a decent time with plenty of opportunity to look around, early enough so that it wasn't crowded out (I've heard horror stories from other travellers and happy to say we didn't endure this!). A nice lunch as well, it's on the site of the warriors but we had a good mix of food and plenty to go around a group of circa 12 people. The visit to the workshop (i.e. the sales pitch) is a bit prolonged, but it is genuinely worth a look around and we weren't under any real pressure to buy anything, so didn't mind it. For the price paid this was excellent, really good time with a nice group of people.

Very satisfied and happy I visited the Terracotta
Enjoyed my time - Cherry was excellent in explaining the history of the Terracotta - she is knowledgeable. She is friendly and warm. The lunch though late was delicious- all of us were happy and satisfied

Excellent tour
Great tour with excellent service. Just the right amount of time spent with the Terracotta Army. Never felt rushed. Recommend going after the National holiday week as I did so the number of people aren’t so many. We didn’t have to queue for long. I thoroughly recommend this company. For a first time traveller to China it was great to be picked up from the hotel as I was unfamiliar with the area. The generous lunch that was included after the tour was lovely as well and our group couldn’t finish all the food as there was so much provided. The organiser (Olivia) was very helpful answering any query I had. Our tour guide (Nana) was great also and very knowledgeable about everything. Absolutely no complaints.

Best experience ever in Xi'an China!!!
The best experience ever in China! This is definitely a must visit place and contains so much rich history on China's past. The guides provided great information on how the place formed and its background information. I can understand Chinese, so it is very fortunate for me as the guides do not speak English. If you cannot understand Chinese, download an app to help you or choose another tour.

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Group Bus Tour to Terracotta Warriors with Hotel Pickup & Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Xian.
How much does Group Bus Tour to Terracotta Warriors with Hotel Pickup & Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $33 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 Group Bus Tour to Terracotta Warriors with Hotel Pickup & Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Group Bus Tour to Terracotta Warriors with Hotel Pickup & Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 14 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 Group Bus Tour to Terracotta Warriors with Hotel Pickup & Lunch?
+
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 Group Bus Tour to Terracotta Warriors with Hotel Pickup & Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Group Bus Tour to Terracotta Warriors with Hotel Pickup & Lunch?
+
Around 5 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Group Bus Tour to Terracotta Warriors with Hotel Pickup & Lunch 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.
