What you'll see and do
The Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses
Day 1, Time: 7:30 - 12:00 Pickup from your hotel and ride about 1 hour (arrives at around 9 am) to the Terracotta Museum. Your exploration of the Terracotta Army site begins. Please follow your guide to discover the amazing terracotta warriors that were buried for more than 2,000 years and to hear interesting stories about China's first emperor — Emperor Qin Shi Huang (259–210 BC). There are three pits in the museum. Our recommended visiting sequence is Pit 1 – Pit 2 – Pit 3 – the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang as you will follow historical clues that lead from general to detailed information. Pit 1 is the largest of the pits and it is estimated to house around 6,000 figures as well as a great quantity of bronze weaponry. You will be shocked by the large scale of the figures lining up, and will feel as if you have been taken back to the Qin Dynasty when the army of soldiers was waiting to go out to battle. Pit 2 is not as large as Pit 1. Pit 3 is the smallest one.

Xi'an City Wall
Day 1, Time: 14:30 - 17:00 Xi'an Ancient City Wall was first built in the Ming Dynasty (1370–1378 AD) and is the largest and the best-maintained ancient city wall in China. It is shaped like a rectangle with a total length of 13.74 kilometers. The downtown part of Xi'an City is centered within this ancient city wall. There are four major gates (the north gate, the east gate, the south gate, and the west gate) of this city wall. Your visit will start from East Gate (Chang Le Gate). After a leisurely walk, your guide will lead you descend from the wall. However, you are welcome to make another choice if you are itching to try cycling on the wall (at your own expense).

Muslim Quarter
Day 1, Time: 17:00 - 18:00 After visiting the city wall, you will head to Xi'an's most famous food street, Muslim Street, where you'll see lots of featured foods and snacks. You can try some if you'd like to.

Tomb of Emperor Jingdi (Hanyangling)
Day 2, Time: 7:30 – 11:00 The same as your previous day, your guide will be waiting for you at your hotel lobby at the appointed time (around 7:30AM-8AM) and pick you up to our first destination: Hanyangling Mausoleum. It takes about 40 minutes to drive there. This museum has an underground exhibition hall so that people can see the results of the archeological digs in the big mausoleum complex of Emperor Jingdi (also named Liu Qi, 188 to 141 BC) of the Han Dynasty, his wife, officials, dynastic clan members, and commoners. There is also a graveyard for slaves who built the complex. The underground hall was opened in 2006. The archeological dig site only covers a small area, but the whole burial complex is immense. It covers a total area of about 10 square kilometers or 4 square miles.

Small Goose Pagoda
Small Wild Goose Pagoda is a multi-eave, square, brick structure of fifteen storeys. Originally it was 46 meters high, but now it is 43.3 meters high, because its steeple was destroyed. It has a square pedestal and a huge first storey, whose sides measure 11.38 meters long each. Doors on the north and south sides of the first storey have frames built of black stone. Carved on the lintel are images of arhats and designs of grasses, their excellent workmanship reflecting the artistic style of the early Tang Dynasty. You will have chance to ring the bell for blessings and good luck.

Xi'an Museum
Xi'an Museum is just nearby the pagoda. Xi'an Museum, covering an area of 245 hectares, was officially opened to the public in May 2007. This museum collectively reflects the long history of Xi'an city, integrating with the small Wild Goose Pagoda, the national key protection culture unit, the ancient building groups of Janfu Temple, and the modern culture relic exhibition hall. The harmony combination demonstrates the special features of this garden museum, the strong historic atmosphere in the modernity.

Nice way to see Xian
My guide Phoebe is pretty, knowledgeable and takes good care of us. I enjoyed the tour very much. Hopefully your tours can add new areas such as Falun temple and Qianling the next time I come to Xian.

An excellent guide for all visits: TED
We spent 3 fabulous days in Xi'An (bike tour of the ramparts, Muslim quarter, goose pagoda, army of terracotta soldiers and show. For all these visits we were accompanied by an English-speaking guide Ted. An excellent, pleasant, friendly and funny young guide. Recommend without hesitation. The best guide to Xi'AN!!!! He was always taking care of us. Thanks to him we had a great time.

Xi'an with Kenneth
From Bejing we travelled to Xi‘an by bullet train. There we, a family of 5 with three adult children, were picked up by our guide Kenneth and taken to the hotel. The plan for the next day was discussed. The next morning Kenneth led us to the Terracotta Army without waiting, which we could look at according to our time needs. This was followed by a delicious lunch at a local restaurant and a visit to the large Wild Goose Pagoda. The next day we did the bike tour on the city wall, a nice experience! Then we went to the Grand Mosque and the Bazar Quarter, where we had enough time and a good lunch. We were very satisfied with our expert tour guide Kenneth, without him we would have wasted a lot of time with the organization and also not found such good restaurants, we would not have been able to get the right order of food. Big praise also to China Hightlights for the good organization!

Super well organised and delightfull trip through Xi'an , emperor city
We are a party of 10 friends who like to travel and do so for nearly 20 years. We always travel in a customised organisation and as a private party Our stay in Xi'an was organised by China Highights (as part of a 16 days trip through China). We arrived from Beijing with the bullet train (must do experience to see the rapid changing and evolving of modern China) and were welcomed by our local guide Amy. We visited all Xi'an highlights (Temple, Terra Cotta warriors, city wall, islamic centre , .... even Xi'an nightlife) and enjoyed it very mutch. The program was adapted to our wishes , flexible with big variety in history and visits. One of the highlights of our stay was certainly our local guide Amy, fluent in English, flexible, passionated and well informed. Her vision of and passion for modern and old China was a real eye-opener for us, and the discussions involved will be something we will not quickly forget. Organisation of meals, transports,... all was at the standard. We stayed at the Grand Wyndham, excellent rooms and service (definitelyexperience the Club formula), but to our group a little bit "too big" and as so far chilly. Anyhow, an experience we will never forget. Once again a big hug for our excellent guideAmy.

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mini Group: Two-Day Xi'an Panoramic Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Xian.
How much does Mini Group: Two-Day Xi'an Panoramic Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $283 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 Mini Group: Two-Day Xi'an Panoramic Tour 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 Xian is not rushed.
Is Mini Group: Two-Day Xi'an Panoramic Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 Mini Group: Two-Day Xi'an Panoramic 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 Mini Group: Two-Day Xi'an Panoramic Tour 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 Mini Group: Two-Day Xi'an Panoramic Tour?
+
Around 3 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mini Group: Two-Day Xi'an Panoramic 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.
