    A thousand happy memories from a One Day Tour of Terracotta Warriors and Xian

    I had a spare day following a business trip to another city several hours away. I realised with the super fast and efficient G trains and affordable accomodation in Xian I could fullfill a long term ambition to visit Xian and the Terracotta Warrior archelogical site. I was not dissappointed. Booking with Mubus was simple and very quick. I didnt think we would complete the tour in a day due to traffic but its timings were spot on. As the metro is well signposted and efficient I took the metro to the designated meeting point. I was allocated @ChelseaRoa (ChianJin) ... with apologies for the spelling. Chelsea's communications were excellent, very clear and encouragingly prompt. It was reassuring to get quick responses to my texts. We met as a mixed group from Europe, which added to the adventure to hear others adventures across China, and after sorting out minor glitches on the hearing sets at the entrance, Chelsea gave an explanation before entering the exhibits on how to make the best of the visit. She was very knowledgable and answered questions on the tour clearly. I was extremely grateful for her looking after us and taking us to the best locations and then visit a great family restaurant. It was exquisite and only having to pay for affordable extra drinks. Then as a bonus it was A personal highlight being introduced to the farmer who discovered the site. That was unexpected. She was not wrong to encourage us to be patient and bold to get great views and enjoy all the sites had to offer. I loved my visit and only wish I could have stayed longer to explore walk to the untouched areas, and then the South Gate of Xian Wall. Next time I hope. Chelsea, thank you for being a wonderful guide and host. I wish you and your family success and long happiness in the future. If I could award more than 5 stars I would have... thank you again, Kind Regards G

    Excellent Service!

    This company went out of their way to assure I had a good experience. The communication was excellent and they worked with me to assure I was on the tour despite being taken by a taxi to completely wrong part of city for the tour meet site. Danny was excellent at explaining all that we saw, and giving history behind everything! I would recommend this company over any other tour I have been on!

    Amazing tour, made excellent by Chelsea and the service.

    Terracotta warriors are obviously amazing, as are the city attractions. More importantly Chelsea's skill as a tour guide was excellent, as was the overall experience. The tour moved at a good pace and ear pieces were provided so you could explore and still hear the information clearly. Chelsea was knowledgeable, professional, funny, generous and her English cannot be faulted. The lunch is a fun experience, traditional Chinese dining style with the rotating platform. I have done a number of tours in China and can safely say this was up there with the best.

    Terracotta Army, Big Wild Goose Pagoda&City Wall Full Day Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Xian.

    How much does Terracotta Army, Big Wild Goose Pagoda&City Wall Full Day Tour 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 Terracotta Army, Big Wild Goose Pagoda&City Wall Full Day Tour 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 Terracotta Army, Big Wild Goose Pagoda&City Wall Full Day Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 57 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 Terracotta Army, Big Wild Goose Pagoda&City Wall Full Day 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 Terracotta Army, Big Wild Goose Pagoda&City Wall Full Day Tour 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 Terracotta Army, Big Wild Goose Pagoda&City Wall Full Day Tour?

    +

    Around 20 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 Terracotta Army, Big Wild Goose Pagoda&City Wall Full Day 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.
