Unforgettable Experience in Xi'an with Maria - 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!

Very good experience - 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

Historical Xi'an - We arrived in Xi'an by bullet train from Beijing and were picked up at the busy train station by the driver. He was punctual and easy to find with the instructions given by Catherine Lu. My husband and I (both in our 70s) had arranged a 3 days Beijing and 2 days Xi'an private tour with Catherine Lu and they arranged the tours, all transfers and bullet train tickets for us. The Terracotta Warriors, the highlight of Xi'an, was fascinating. The excessive building of Emperor Qinshihuang to ensure a safe afterlife was in full display. The next day we went to the Hanyang Tomb with its mini Terracotta warriors. The contrast of Emperor Qinshihuang's extravagant tomb and Emperor Jingdi's large but more modest one was telling of their different styles as rulers. Our guide, Ding, was able to explain the complex history so that we could fully appreciate what we were seeing. We also visited the Big Goose Pagoda and the Dacien Temple, again Ding helped us appreciate the history. The City Wall and Muslim Street were also included in our tour. Ding also took us for two lunches of local food. They were enjoyable and at restaurants we may not have ventured into on our own. If history is your interest Xi'an shouldn't be missed. As with anywhere in China, be prepared to do alot of walking, although Xi'an was mostly flat so it was not difficult. Definitely get a guide to explain the history. We were lucky to get Ding!

Highly recommended - FANTASTIC!!!!! I want to congratulate the Catherine Lu Tours guide, Luisa, a lovely person, a wonderful explanation. The organization by Catherine Lu Tours was perfect, they picked us up at the indicated time, everything and more than what we had contracted with her via email was more than fulfilled.

5 stars are not enough - Our tour guide Amber has overcome our expectations, She took us to all the must see places in Xi'an and with her we had our best lunch in China. She has been very attentive, passionate and kind with all of us including a 5yo and a 3yo kids. She's never tired of telling you about Xi'an and China. We had an issue with our Flight and She helped us to solve It. We highly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour to get to know Xi'an in depth - Xi'an is not only the city where the Silk Road once ended, it is also the place where more than 8,000 clay statues rest, the so-called terracotta warriors, one of the must-sees on your visit to this city. If you visit Xi'an I recommend you do it with Catherine Lu Tours since she is in charge of getting all the entrance tickets that you should have at least 1 week before the day of your visit. The visit is completed with a walk along the old wall that surrounds the city, one of the best preserved in the country, and with a visit to the Wild Big Goose Pagoda with one of the tallest pagodas in China. Of course, to finish getting to know a place you also have to do it through its flavors. This tour takes you through the famous night markets where you will see the essence of local life and of course try its typical dishes.
