This tour exceeded our expectations thanks to our guide, Rosa! She’s super knowledgeable and used the time on the way to the terracotta soldiers to give us a history lesson to put everything into perspective. She has a great sense of humor and was able to answer any questions we came up with. The tour is well paced and the spot we went to for lunch was better than we could’ve hoped for on a non-food focused tour!

It was a lovely evening spent exploring the Xi’An culinary streets with Jie/Richard. He was a lovely and friendly host, so engaging and didn’t tire of all the questions. His communication before the event was good and overall, it was a really wholesome, enlightening and fun cultural experience. I would recommend him to anyone going to Xi’An for his professionalism, friendly nature and kindness.

Tour was excellent. Rosa (Ms Wang) is AMAZING. Rosa communicated clearly and eloquently in English and Chinese. Her English in particular I found was probably the best of all our tours in China - because she is very clear and paces her content well. It felt like how a teacher approaches content and I really enjoyed her little stories, examples and info about many elements of the TerraCotta army that I would not have found in a lot of books. We had 2 adults and 2 bi-lingual kids and we all felt included in the stories and little details about Xian and the terracotta soldiers. You seamlessly communicated in both languages and I appreciated that immensely. Thanks Rosa for your professionalism and advice in Xian. It was a great trip and our whole family loved the tour. Good luck to you all!

Our trip to Xi'an was fantastic, and Maria made it even better! She was not only patient with us but also super helpful, making sure we got the most out of every place we visited. From the major attractions to local spots off the beaten path, Maria knew exactly where to take us. Her guidance made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. If you're planning to visit Xi'an, you can't go wrong with Maria as your guide!

The tour was unbelievable! Thanks to our local guide Maria who was excellent at showing us the best there is to know in Xi’an city. She was patient and so kind, thanks to Catherine Lu Tours we are having the best time in China!

My friends and I had an amazing time in Xi'an, all thanks to Maria! She was incredibly patient and ensured that we were comfortable throughout the trip. Maria took us to all the must-see places and even some hidden gems we wouldn't have discovered on our own. Her knowledge of the city and her friendly demeanor made the experience truly unforgettable. I highly recommend Maria if you're looking to explore Xi'an in the best possible way

We had an amazing experience with our tour guide Amber in Xi’an! She took us to explore the Terracotta Warriors and all the incredible sights around the area. She was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the entire tour. We truly loved every moment of it. Thank you so much for making our visit unforgettable!

The place is rammed with people jostling for photo space but is a spectacular museum. Rosa was a really informative guide sharing the history and culture from a local perspective which made the experience more interesting

Rosa was a very good guide, very kind and helpful, she patiently and clearly explained a lot of information about Chinese and xi’an history. The tour is well organised and we were able to see everything and return on schedule.

This place deserves to be a UNESCO protected site. It is truly amazing and at the same time mysterious. One can only imagine if the farmer had not hit the exact location of one of the soldiers, we would not see this marvelous work of art. That said, to comprehend better the history here, you need a great guide and we were lucky to get Julia to teach us about this place during the full day. She knows her work and along of that, she also is so kind and patient. This was a great day because of her his work.. now, her driver is a bit crazy, but she got us there and back still alive :)

Richard is very knowledgeable and friendly with kids and my kids love him too! We visited Teracotta museum of warriors and horses, Great wall and Muslim quarters. We learnt alot from him in terms of Chinese history and culture. He expertly navigate through crowded areas and ensure we keep up with the pace and that no one is left behind. He is fluent with English and patiently helped us with translation with the locals. Thank you Richard and his partner driver!

It was a wonderful day with Amber in Xian! She was a delight, gave just the right information, and a made our full sightseeing day perfect! If you are lucky enough to get to meet her, you will not regret your booking! Thanks Amber, can’t wait to come back

Julia is a very knowledgeable guide, she speaks impeccable English. We could really enjoy the terracotta warriors, as Julia was really good at sneaking us around and through the big crowds. She had interesting information to share on all the exhibitions, their backgrounds and Chinese history in general, and put the exhibitions in context. She encouraged asking questions of any kind, which she could always answer. The fun side stories she told, contributed to a pleasant experience. She was also very friendly and up for jokes.

Excellent food tour. Very filling. Advise not to eat too much the day before. A mouthful tasty experience not to be missed.

Everything went as good as it could be. We where picked up at time in our hotel lobby by Agnes. We had our private driver and Agnes told us everything we asked. They even made a stop at a pharmacy when my fiance didn't feel so well. The terracota warriors where very interesting. Despite the many many people there we got a lot of informationa from Agnes, who is a chinese-history teacher when she is not working as guide. The pagoda and the city wall wheren't as crowded as the terracota warriors site. Very interesting places with a lot of history! All in all an amazing day with an excellent tour guide!
