The whole experience was beyond expectations, you must take the opportunity to see the Terracotta arm and visit Xi’aan.
We were met at the airport, transported by air conditioned people carrier to lunch, Kathy helped us choose some amazing local options including biang biang noodles, then on to see the Terracotta Army. Definitely the 8th wonder of the world. Later we visited Xi’an where Kathy brought its rich Dynasty history alive for us on the 13.74km long city wall. After it was the amazing street food of Muslim street and the stream performers along a 2 km pedestrian walkway of lights and sound. A days tourism doesn’t get any better than this.

Marvellous trip in Xi’an
We had a great experience on our private tour with Kathy. Her service and communication were excellent throughout. She was patient, helpful, and attentive to our needs, making the trip smooth and enjoyable. We truly appreciated her support and professionalism during the entire journey. High recommended if you plan to go to Xi’an.

Best tour in Xi An 👍🏻👍🏻
It was a really enjoyable trip with Kathy. She was very patient in explaining the history of each place we visited and making sure we understood her explanations. The arranged lunch was also very delicious, even my parents really liked it. Kathy didn't rush us, the time given to us was very flexible. There were no mandatory shops. Kathy even recommended places to buy cheap souvenirs and places to eat locally. I highly recommend if you need a reliable tour in Xi An.

YOUR ONE STOP SHOP FOR XI'AN !!!
I found Kathy's Tours through the internet while researching for a trip to Xi'an and onward. I had been to Xi'an over 20 years ago and was about to re-visit with my husband and sister-in-law so had some idea of the layout of the city and environs and what there was to see and do. We had limited time and wanted to maximise our experience. I e-mailed Kathy and explained our plans to see what she whether she could help.. Right from the start of our communication I knew I had found a gem !! Kathy was really knowledgeable, responsive and HONEST !! She helped me with everything I asked of her - even when it was not going to involve her business. She even managed to book us tickets to the Shaanxi History Museum on our non-tour day - and these tickets are like gold dust !!! We only had one day available to have a tour in Xi'an and initially we were going to be guided by Kathy herself but due to unexpected circumstances Kathy had to find us another guide at short notice. On the day our guide was Nancy who was EXCELLENT. Really enthusiastic and interesting. She knew what we wanted and was able deliver everything as well as being able to be flexible and accommodate changes we wanted to make to our itinerary as the day went on. Between Nancy and the driver we saw and did everything we wanted including collecting train tickets for our onward journey which was really helpful. The driver was calm, not erratic and knew the routes and traffic thoroughly. Nancy was a fountain of knowledge, knew all the shortcuts and best places to take photos so we didn't have to stand in line waiting. They were both very caring and conscientious about our comfort and safety as well as fun !! Our day included a "local lunch" which was the best food we had in our 10 days in China. I had not wanted to bother with it but was really, really glad we did. And then - imagine our surprise - Kathy herself took time out of her own busy day to come and meet us briefly at the restaurant - just to say Hello. That is REAL personalised service !!! Although Kathy was not our guide she provided constant backup to Nancy with advice and ticket bookings when we wanted to do something unplanned. We had a brilliant day and all left Xi'an wishing we could have stayed longer to enjoy more of this Team's wonderful hospitality and passion for their heritage. We have no hesitation in recommending Kathy and her crew. It's so reassuring to find people who are totally invested in the service they are providing and want everyone to have the best experience possible. If you are going to Xi'an - CONTACT KATHY.

Kathy, a very professional guide who can make your visit to Xi’an memorable!
We spent 2 days with Kathy on private tours to visit the Terracotta Warriors museum and Hua Shan mountains. The tours were wonderfully arranged and her attention to details and kind consideration for our elderly mom (in her 80s) where she managed her needs carefully. She’s very knowledgeable in history and the surrounding areas, and she provided us guidance on various other matters which are not related to our tour to make our visit in Xi’an / China more memorable. The meals she arranged for us are also great especially when she took care of our dietary needs too. Happy to recommend Kathy to any keen visitors to Xi’an who are looking for private guide that speaks great English and flexible to work within your own plans.

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Xi'an Private Day Tour Including Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Xian.
How much does Xi'an Private Day Tour Including Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $82 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 Private Day Tour Including Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Private Day Tour Including Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 56 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 Private Day Tour Including 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 Xi'an Private Day Tour Including Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Xi'an Private Day Tour Including Lunch?
+
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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Xi'an Private Day Tour Including 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.
