The warriors - history alive! - Business travel brought me to Xi'an with only a few hours free time. The private tour was perfectly organized. On time pick up, great car, safe driving. Julia, my guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and found the right balance of details while explaining the big picture. Her insights helped me to get an understanding of the profound significance of this unique place. I forgot my reading glasses in the car and the driver turned around to the hotel to reunite me with the glasses - I can't take this for granted and demonstrates the care for their tour participants.

Terracotta Warriors with Rosa - Rosa has been a great guide and she told us many curious information about the Terracotta Warriors and she was able to get the best spots to see soldiers! She walked us also through the City Wall and she took beautiful pictures of us! Last but not least she recommended us the best dumplings in Xi’an!

Do not miss! - Excellent tour with Emily. She was extremely knowledgeable, and we were very happy with our 5- hour excursion. The terracotta soldiers is a must visit site in China. Truly awe-inspiring.

An experience I will never forget! - We had a truly wonderful experience with Catherine Lu Tours and would absolutely recommend their services without hesitation. Everything was extremely well organized — from the punctuality of the guides and drivers to the flexibility shown in tailoring the tours to our needs. That flexibility is not always a given, and we really appreciated it. We spent one day in Xi’an with Julie, visiting the Terracotta Army, and one day at Mutianyu exploring the Great Wall with Adam. Both guides not only walked us through the historical highlights but also went beyond the standard explanations, sharing anecdotes, cultural insights, and answering all of our questions with care and enthusiasm. Julie was absolutely lovely — warm, kind, and clearly passionate about her work. She put her heart into the tour and gave us an unforgettable experience. Adam was super too — very friendly, with a great sense of humor that made the whole day enjoyable. His energy kept us entertained while still delivering historical content. While both experiences came at a cost, we felt it was money very well spent. Thank you again to Catherine Lu Tours, Julie, and Adam!

Excellent guide! Be careful of the fine print for inclusions and exclusions - Agnes was amazing! Particularly happy she took me up on my request for a typical local restaurant and had the most amazing lunch! All wonderful. Trip was only me - that was a surprise but understandable for the price I paid ! A welcome surprise! The tickets were not included - this was an unpleasant surprise only made very clear once I paid for the trip. So make sure you read the details of the trip very carefully! For that prize I did expect tickets included!
