Xi’an Private Tours and Travel Guide for First Visits

Why go

Why Xi’an earns its place

A strong visit connects the famous sights with the city around them.

An archaeological landmark

The Terracotta Army places you face to face with the scale and ambition of China’s first imperial unification, best understood with historical context and patient looking.

A legible old city

Xi’an’s surviving wall creates an unusually clear boundary for exploring gates, towers, neighborhoods and the modern city expanding beyond them.

Cultures meeting over centuries

Mosques, temples and food traditions reflect Xi’an’s role in long-distance exchange without reducing its complex communities to a single Silk Road slogan.

Package pricing is per guest: for bookings of two or more days, the first guest is $499 per day, while a one-day booking is $599 for the first guest; each additional guest is $149 per day, with a maximum of six guests and a custom proposal for larger parties. The package includes a comfortable four-star hotel licensed to accommodate foreign guests, based on twin-share occupancy, with a single supplement for a guest who occupies a room alone; it also includes itinerary planning, standard attraction tickets, venue reservations, all-day photography, up to eight hours of local host service per day, and arrival setup for Alipay, cash access, taxis, and shopping. Each hosted day delivers 30+ edited photos online within 48 hours plus all original files; professional studio-grade retouching is not included. Your first hosted day includes an airport-arrival greeting at the arrivals exit per your confirmed arrival details, with free flight-delay waiting for 90 minutes after landing. Overtime beyond eight hours is $45 per hour and must be confirmed in writing in advance; airport greetings for arrivals between 00:00 and 06:00 add $60. Premium experiences are not included and are charged separately at the provider price. Shopping and meals are at the guest's own expense. A 30% deposit is due immediately when the booking is confirmed and is non-refundable; the balance is due 24 hours before departure. For a cancellation or change requested within 24 hours before departure, only 30% of the total booking price is refunded. Any refund is returned to the original payment method within seven business days. The deposit and balance are paid through a PayPal payment link by credit card or PayPal. Force majeure releases both parties from liability.
