Not what i was expecting
I was a bit excited about the tour, but several things came up together. They don’t really pick you up in front of the hotel,or well they do it ( Walking) I understand it’s better but this should be mentioned ahead of time. The other thing the Tour Guide when we arrived to the museum was just rushing all of us throughout everywhere, not to much time time to take pictures, just rushing throughout the buildings also he wasn’t very friendly at all. The tour included lunch but again this is not clearly explained when we arrived they served the food but to be honest it wasn’t enough and it was a big group.. also the guy takes you to take a picture with the farmer who discovered the terracota soldiers and to the shop which I’m pretty sure he’ll get a commission but the prices are very high DONT buy there, luckily I wait and when I went back to the city I found a shop with very decent prices. Overall I would say you can take the risk but I wouldn’t recommend.
Response from the operator: Hi! Very sorry about this,we will let the guide go to training how to do a good service,thank you for your comment,mentioned us the problem about the tour.Good luck! Best wishes for you!

Excellent
Absolutely amazing experience! The Terracotta Warriors tour in Xi’an was one of the highlights of our trip to China. Everything was very well organized, and our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate. They explained the history of the Terracotta Army in a clear and engaging way, sharing fascinating details that made the visit even more interesting. Seeing the Terracotta Warriors in person was truly impressive, and having a guide helped us understand the incredible history and importance of the site much better. We never felt rushed and had enough time to explore, take photos, and enjoy the experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Xi’an. A must-do experience and definitely worth it! 5 stars!

Great day seeing the 8th wonder of the world
the morning was great and our guide Chelsea was really good at finding the right spots in what was a busy sightseeing day with lots and lots of people. Had a great time at lunch as well and overall really enjoyable trip (and good value considering transport cost and admission to the warriors). Even got a picture with the farmer who found the site. Thank you Chelsea for a fabulous day

Morning Tour to Terracotta Warriors Museum with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Xian.
How much does Morning Tour to Terracotta Warriors Museum with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $20 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 Morning Tour to Terracotta Warriors Museum with 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 Morning Tour to Terracotta Warriors Museum with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 40 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 Morning Tour to Terracotta Warriors Museum with 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 Morning Tour to Terracotta Warriors Museum with 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 Morning Tour to Terracotta Warriors Museum with Lunch?
+
Around 14 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 Morning Tour to Terracotta Warriors Museum with 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 Mini Group Xian Day Tour to Terracotta Army, City Wall, Pagoda and Muslim Bazaar, Private Xi'an Day Tour: Terracotta Army&Optional City Attractions, All-Inclusive Terracotta Army Tour with Premium Buffet Lunch. 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.
