Amazing tour and guide
This was the best tour we have had so far on our trip to China. The company is highly professional, organized and prepared. We were picked up right on time in a nice van with a great driver. Our guide, Sally, was incredible. Great English, highly knowledgeable about Chinese history and all the city sights, and very fun and friendly. We just loved her. The Terracotta Army is more amazing than you can imagine, and the site very well developed. Even the quick stop at the souvenir factory was fun, with no pressure to buy anything and a fun (and free) opportunity to take a picture of yourself as a warrior. Sally took us to an amazing place for lunch, and we were able to order anything we wanted (which we all shared at a lazy Susan table), as well as have a beer if we wanted. Best meal we’ve had in China, and a lovely setting. Huge amounts of delicious, authentic food. The trip to the City Wall was also wonderful, as well as the stop at the Big Goose Pagoda, where we were able to light some incense and say a little prayer (the shop there is fun for getting little Chinese zodiac souvenirs). Definitely a 5-star experience; I highly recommend this company, tour and guide.
Response from the operator: Hi Lisa, Many thanks for taking the time to write such a favorable comment on China Xian Tour. We are so glad to know that you enjoyed this tour and Sally did a great job. She was very happy to see your lovely review. We are looking forward to meeting you in the future and bring more amazing travel experience for you. All the best, Lenna | China Xian Tour

Fantastic tour.
enjoyed this day tour. Just make sure you have good shoes on. Entry at warriors to pit sites is some distance, for less abled i do believe wheelchair hire was available at a additional cost.

Great Tour of Xian
Our guide, William did a great private tour of Xian. We had opted for the One Day Xian Essence Tour. The Terra-cotta army was great and we went over many highlights like Muslim Street, Bell and Drum Tower , Old City Wall and Wild Goose Pagoda. The lunch was also very good. Overall a great experience of the city of Xian.
Response from the operator: Dear Amrita B, It is so kind of you to spend time commenting our service. We are really happy to hear your feedback that we made a great travel experience for you. Xian is an ancient city with many historical scenic spots, and it's wonderful that you have visited the hottest places. We sincerely hope you had fun in China Xian, and will also take more impressive trips in China with our service. Best wishes, Sophia

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Xian Group Tour: Terracotta Army, Big Wild Goose Pagoda,City Wall: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Xian.
How much does Xian Group Tour: Terracotta Army, Big Wild Goose Pagoda,City Wall cost?
+
Prices start at $46 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 Xian Group Tour: Terracotta Army, Big Wild Goose Pagoda,City Wall take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Xian Group Tour: Terracotta Army, Big Wild Goose Pagoda,City Wall worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 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 Xian Group Tour: Terracotta Army, Big Wild Goose Pagoda,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 Xian Group Tour: Terracotta Army, Big Wild Goose Pagoda,City Wall suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Xian Group Tour: Terracotta Army, Big Wild Goose Pagoda,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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Xian Group Tour: Terracotta Army, Big Wild Goose Pagoda,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.
