    Wonderful

    Shoutout to our amazing guide Maryam for making our Xi’an tour with 10 friends unforgettable! From the moment we started, she was full of energy and knowledge. At the Terracotta Army, she shared incredible stories about the warriors’ discovery and restoration work that we couldn’t have learned from a book alone. At the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda and Xi’an City Wall, her explanations of the history and architecture were so engaging that our whole group was captivated. With 10 people in our group, Maryam did an amazing job of keeping everyone happy. She adjusted the pace to make sure no one was tired, answered every question with a smile, and even gave us great tips on where to eat local food. Thank you, Maryam, for making our trip so special. We’ll definitely recommend you to everyone planning a Xi’an tour!

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for choosing to travel with us. We have been committed to providing all our guests who travel to China with a truly authentic travel experience. This includes avoiding crowded areas, sampling delicious local cuisines, offering knowledgeable tour guides proficient in various languages, extremely polite drivers and comfortable as well as safe vehicles. Your affirmation and recognition are the direction and motivation of our efforts. We believe that in the future, if you come to Xi'an or travel around China again, you will surely choose our travel services, because we are making progress and improving ourselves every single day. Our goal is to offer you the best China travel experience.

    Stuck without tickets

    They purchased our entry tickets and upon arrival one of us was told our ticket doesn’t exist possibly due to incorrect passport number and there was no way to fix it so we ended up buying another ticket. So yourself a favour and go straight there and buy your own ticket. Get a didi, ticket office os quiet and you can get a tour guide so much cheaper there.

    Response from the operator: Our ticket - booking service offers skip - the - line access and free cancellation. We bought tickets according to the passport info you provided (copied and pasted), so the wrong number was your fault. We're sorry about your experience. You can buy tickets yourself, but remember, the price matches the service. If leaving a bad review makes you feel better, we'll accept it, but it's unfair as we contacted and confirmed with you multiple times before the booking.

    A Perfect Blend of History and Comfort

    I can't recommend this tour enough. The two-day customized private tour took us to the Terracotta Army at the best times to avoid crowds. We also visited other must-see spots in Xi'an. The vehicles were top-notch, and the guide was friendly and accommodating. It was like having a local friend show us around. Loved it!

    Xi'an 2-Day Customized Tour: Terracotta Army & City Highlights: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Xi'an 2-Day Customized Tour: Terracotta Army & City Highlights cost?

    +

    Prices start at $39 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 Xi'an 2-Day Customized Tour: Terracotta Army & City Highlights take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 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 Xi'an 2-Day Customized Tour: Terracotta Army & City Highlights worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 6 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 Xi'an 2-Day Customized Tour: Terracotta Army & City Highlights?

    +

    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 Xi'an 2-Day Customized Tour: Terracotta Army & City Highlights suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Xi'an 2-Day Customized Tour: Terracotta Army & City Highlights?

    +

    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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Xi'an 2-Day Customized Tour: Terracotta Army & City Highlights 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.
