Xi’an in the time of corona
My favorite part of the experience was the tea tasting. It was fun to try different teas that normally we could not try. In addition, our tour guide Lin was so friendly and helpful. She will be what we truly remember about our experience. The driver was also fantastic and always picked us up close to our location.

Perfect introduction to XI’an
This tour was a perfect way to be introduced to Xi’an, and Lin was a fantastic guide! We learned so much about the history of the city, the Terracotta Army, and the local cuisine. I will recommend this tour to any friends who come to Xi’an in the future, especially for international guests. Lin’s English is very, very good, and she even took the time to write down recommendations for things we can do the next day and wrote clear instructions on how to get to each place. I can’t recommend this tour enough!

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Xi'an Highlights Private Day Tour: Terracotta Warriors, City Wall: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Xian.
How much does Xi'an Highlights Private Day Tour: Terracotta Warriors, City Wall cost?
+
Prices start at $70 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 Highlights Private Day Tour: Terracotta Warriors, City Wall take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Highlights Private Day Tour: Terracotta Warriors, City Wall worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Highlights Private Day Tour: Terracotta Warriors, 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 Xi'an Highlights Private Day Tour: Terracotta Warriors, City Wall suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Xi'an Highlights Private Day Tour: Terracotta Warriors, 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Xi'an Highlights Private Day Tour: Terracotta Warriors, 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.
