Xi’an two day tour - We just finished our two day custom tour with Catherine and Agnes with driver Shi. We went to Terracotta Warriors and did the Big Goose Pagoda in the afternoon, stopping for a lunch at a local noodle restaurant and seeing the Terracotta Show, which was a full production and really surprised us. The second day we rode bikes in the city wall for an hour and then saw the Muslim street, drum tower and bell tower. The final stop was the Hanyangling tomb, which is also a must see for Xi’an. The tour was very flexible as we added the bikes with no problem. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful visit in Xi’an! - We had a 2 day tour with Rosa. We have travelled around the world and done many tours, and she was one of our best guides. She was patient, and explained the history of China/Xi’an city very well. Our lunches felt like we were on a food tour of xian! No touristy places, all places where locals eat. The food was amazing. She helped us arrange our two days so that we could maximize our time. I would highly recommend Rosa as a tour guide, especially if you have a limited time in Xi’an and want to be able to learn about the history from the Neolithic period, to the terracotta warriors and Silk Road, as well as experience the many different type of cuisines that Xi’an has to offer.

Trip to Xi' an - I had the pleasure of having Tina as my tour guide in Xi’an, and she was absolutely fantastic! She explained the history in such an easy and engaging way that it was simple to understand and appreciate. Tina is approachable, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. Through her stories, she made history come alive, and I learned so much about the rich culture and history of China. If you’re planning to visit China, I highly recommend booking Tina as your tour guide in Xi’an—you won’t be disappointed! Catherine Lu Tours is a trustworthy and reliable company that truly takes care of every detail of your trip, making the experience stress-free and enjoyable. China is such a beautiful country, and it’s a destination everyone should visit at least once.

Highlight of our China trip with Tony! - Going on the tour with our guide, Tony, was the best decision we’ve made for the trip! He shared excellent knowledge about China society both in the past and present in both Chinese and English. Whenever he introduces the sights to us, people around are also drawn to his sharing and listened intently. Undoubtedly, our trip to Xi’an would’ve been an empty shell without his stories. He is passionate about people and societies, and always had interesting stories to tell us about the norms of people in ancient and modern China. He brought us to climb Mount Huashan, visit the ancient wall, Terracotta Army, and other sights that were not in our itinerary but he knew we would enjoy. Initially, we were uncertain if the elderly in our group could manage Mt Huashan, but he gave us great confidence to do it, and went at a pace that everyone enjoyed. He also took great care of us, helped us with hotel check-in, made sure we wore clothes warm enough, had a good sense of humour and took great photos. Our family enjoyed the tour with him and highly recommend him for anyone visiting Xi’an! Thank you, Tony! :)
