Amazing day with great service
A last minute booking with company was a very smooth process. Timing was perfect and our pickup and drop offs were all very well organised. Becky, our tour guide was very attentive to our needs and was very patient with us. We did not feel pressured or rushed. She explained all the history, and more, linked to our visit very well. All the sites are amazing. The Terracotta army museum was very crowded but Becky ensured we were able to appreciate and understand the true magnificence of the site. Becky also kindly helped us to navigate through a menu for restricted dietary requirements, and this allowed us to try authentic Chinese food. Overall a very enjoyable trip and would highly recommend it.

A great day in Xian with our lovely guide Rosa
We had this amazing tour with my husband. Our guide was Rosa. She is a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and she knows all about history and most of all she is very caring and attentive. She took a great care of us during the trip and guided us to all the important spots and we had a great day! I highly recommend this tour for a very deep experience of Xian and China and especially I recommend Rosa as a guide

Work with soul
Ping texted me after I booked tickets for the Tang Dynasty show in Xi’an. She helped me to find my mistake with a date of the show and change it on time and found suitable guided tours with a Russian speaking guide. You know, there are 15 Russian speaking guides in Xi’an only. So, it was really luck! Of course, other languages are acceptable too, Ping can find a needed guide. Ping was always in touch with me and helped with advices during our trip. Our guide Anna and the driver were very friendly, hospitable and people in the know. 2 days tour was very interesting, eventful, informative and well organised. Million thanks to Ping and her team for our excellent experience in Xi’an. We do recommend Ping and her team if you are looking for a pleasant experience in Xi’an as well

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Xi'an: Terracotta Army, Big Goose Pagoda & City Wall Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Xian.
How much does Xi'an: Terracotta Army, Big Goose Pagoda & City Wall Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $123 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: Terracotta Army, Big Goose Pagoda & City Wall Private 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 Xi'an: Terracotta Army, Big Goose Pagoda & City Wall Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 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: Terracotta Army, Big Goose Pagoda & City Wall Private 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 Xi'an: Terracotta Army, Big Goose Pagoda & City Wall Private 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 Xi'an: Terracotta Army, Big Goose Pagoda & City Wall Private Tour?
+
Around 4 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 Xi'an: Terracotta Army, Big Goose Pagoda & City Wall Private 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.
