Great Xian Tour and excellent show!!’
This was a great private tour. Rosa our guide did an excellent job. She was very professional and friendly. We went to the Xi’an great wall, bell and drum towers, Muslim quarter where we went to a tea store and had a tea ceremony and we visited the Great Mosque. Later Rosa took us to a shopping center where in the food area she ordered several local dishes for us. It was delicious. We went later to the Banpo museum, a 6,000 years old historical site and finally to the Silk Road show. It is a huge theater where the seats rotate to see different stages and was one of the best shows my wife and I have ever seen. Waterfalls, snow, fire, camels, dogs like wolves and a huge cast. Rosa even arranged to have better seats for us! What an awesome experience. At the end, she was waiting for us to along with our very polite driver take us back to the hotel. It was a great day in Xi’an with the right activities after visiting the Terracotta Worriers the previous day. Highly recommended tour! Thanks again Rosa!

A great day in Xi’an
My guide was Rosa and it was a great tour to see the important sites in the city as it fit my needs. I actually had visited terracotta warriors recently so I wanted to see other sites, which I was able to do - the two goose pagodas, Xi’an museum, Hanyangling underground museum and the Silk Road show were all amazing (plus lunch). Can definitely recommend, especially if you are interested or preferences in specific types of sites

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Flexible Xian City Day Tour with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Xian.
How much does Private Flexible Xian City Day Tour with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $116 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 Private Flexible Xian City Day Tour with Lunch 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 Private Flexible Xian City Day Tour with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 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 Private Flexible Xian City Day Tour 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 Private Flexible Xian City Day Tour with Lunch 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 Private Flexible Xian City Day Tour with Lunch?
+
Around 4 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 Private Flexible Xian City Day Tour 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 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.
