Excellent experience - great guide and friendly driver
My family of 4 had a great experience with this tour company that we booked from the US. Sophia the sales person was very responsive as we changed out itinerary several times during the process. Sophia is very patient and speaks English so it was easy to email and communicate with her as we planned our trip to Beijing and Xian . We had some challenges in Beijing as this Co based in Xian had subcontracted to another Co in Beijing but as soon as we expressed concerns the matter was addressed by Sophia. Nothing super serious but a piece of advise to anyone going there - make sure the Tour is a NON SHOPPING tour - its worth paying the extra and not wate time visiting the shopping site where they scam you selling stuff at exorbitant prices. Anyways, when we reached Xian Sophia had made arrangement of a very spacious van , a very friendly drive Mr, He ( always smiling) and the next day they provided a very knowledgeable Guide ( Mrs Sasha Wang) . Sasha was the highlight of our tour to the Terracota Warriors and the City Wall. He knowledge of the history is remarkable and she brought us to some very nice Vegetarian restaurants. I would highly recommend Sophia and Sasha. Glad to provide more information to any one making a trip there.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
One-Day Private Tour of Xi'an Terra-Cotta Warriors and City Wall: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Xian.
How much does One-Day Private Tour of Xi'an Terra-Cotta Warriors and City Wall cost?
+
Prices start at $134 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 One-Day Private Tour of Xi'an Terra-Cotta Warriors and City Wall 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 One-Day Private Tour of Xi'an Terra-Cotta Warriors and City Wall worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 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 One-Day Private Tour of Xi'an Terra-Cotta Warriors and City Wall?
+
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 One-Day Private Tour of Xi'an Terra-Cotta Warriors and City Wall suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book One-Day Private Tour of Xi'an Terra-Cotta Warriors and City Wall?
+
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 One-Day Private Tour of Xi'an Terra-Cotta Warriors and City Wall 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.
