    Great experience. I...

    Great experience. I accidentally put in the wrong passport number to book tickets and they responded quickly however we ended up buying a new one. They were able to give me a partial refund. Fast responses

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad we could quickly help with the passport mistake and arrange a partial refund for the wrong booking—even though our usual policy only allows free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance. It’s all part of the service we provide beyond just tickets. Hope to see you again soon!

    A wonder revealed

    It was a real pleasure to meet Mr Yang after seeing the warriors. The whole story is fantastic. The detail in the sculpture of each unique warrior. The fact that there was no record of the existence of the site. The discovery by a farmer digging his well , such an everyday act, yet yielding extraordinary wonder.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your excellent 5‑star review! We're so glad you enjoyed the Terracotta Warriors and the fascinating story behind their discovery – especially meeting Mr. Yang. A quick tip for future visitors: when you book through us, there's no need to exchange tickets – just go straight to the entrance and scan your passport. So don't forget to bring it with you! We appreciate your trust in Xi'an China Travel Service and hope to see you again soon.

    Great trip

    Great experience, however we were lucky enough to be approached by a Chinese lady who spoke English and knew where to go and provided us with hearing aids so that we could listen to her explanations. I would recommend booking a guide or getting one when you get to the entrance. It made life so much easier.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your excellent 5‑star review! We're so glad you enjoyed the Terracotta Warriors and the fascinating story behind their discovery – especially meeting Mr. Yang. A quick tip for future visitors: when you book through us, there's no need to exchange tickets – just go straight to the entrance and scan your passport. So don't forget to bring it with you!

    You buy a day ticket - without a timeslot!

    There is no timeslot. I had booked from 3pm. Thought I would have indicated them only from 3pm admission and only for a certain time. This is wrong. You can use the ticket all day and there are no slots where you can only be in the park. I was very late and therefore had an extremely crowded park and little time (5pm is closing) For this misinformation, I get only 3 out of 5 stars.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We would like to clarify that the ticket booked was a general admission "day pass," which typically allows flexible entry any time during opening hours, not only from 3:00 PM. We understand your disappointment about the crowds and limited time. During peak seasons, securing tickets is very challenging, and we were glad to have successfully obtained yours. For the best experience, we always recommend an early arrival. We appreciate your business and hope to serve you better in the future. Best regards

    Terracotta Warriors

    An absolutely fantastic experience. Our guide Angie was excellent, incredibly knowledgeable, charming and so special to share this wonderful experience with her. The trip was certainly worth it and we had the opportunity to view the short movie which was outstanding and allowed us to have our faces put into the various warriors outfits. The driver was delightful, drove well and the car was modern and super clean. Angie recommended the cultural dance and music performance in Xi’an which we decided to do that evening. It was also worth going too. Highly recommend this experience. Thanks Angie for a wonderful day.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for this fantastic review! We're delighted that you had such a wonderful day with Angie and enjoyed everything from the Terracotta Warriors experience to the comfortable transportation and the evening cultural show she recommended. We've passed your heartfelt thanks along to Angie – she'll be so happy! We truly appreciate your high recommendation.

    Terracotta Warriors Tickets Booking: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Terracotta Warriors Tickets Booking cost?

    +

    Prices start at $27 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 Warriors Tickets Booking take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Warriors Tickets Booking worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 5 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 Warriors Tickets Booking?

    +

    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 Warriors Tickets Booking suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Terracotta Warriors Tickets Booking?

    +

    Around 2 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Terracotta Warriors Tickets Booking 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.
