• 11/10 Xi’an Terracotta Experience

  Julia was the best tour guide for the Xi’an Terracotta Warriors Tour. Flawless English and she has a great sense of humor. We traveled from the USA to Beijing and took a train to Xi’an and a flight back. Catherine Lu Tours made it super easy and an unforgettable time. If you are debating booking this tour just save yourself time and book with them and ask for Julia.

  Catherine Lu tours provided a wonderful experience. See our earlier post about the Beijing leg of our custom China tour which describes how confident we are in this company. In Xi’an it was raining buckets and buckets. But we had great fun even so, thanks to our tour guide, Becky. We highly recommend her for her English language skills, clear communication, care for our enjoyment and safety, knowledge, and charm. We had an awesome day, despite the rain. In fact, it was much cooler due to the rain than it had been in Shanghai and Beijing! The Terra cotta warriors were very crowded with many people, but Becky found ways to navigate the crowd and to get us the best places to push in and see things clearly. She also took us to a fourth building that only tour guides are really familiar with, and there we saw more of the Warriors up close. We learned so much more from Becky than we knew about the Warriors beforehand, including fascinating facts about the work that is needed to dig reassemble and care for the warriors and other artifacts. This is an amazing site, but made more so by the competence and professionalism of our guide. Afterwards, we visited the big goose pagoda, where Becky continued to share fascinating insight. We learned so much about the Buddha and this temple, increasing our respect and admiration for this ancient faith and its believers. And finally, becky took us on a tour of the Muslim Street. This fascinating and exciting area is filled with color and homemade, traditional food. Becky helped us to navigate all of the wonderful things that we could have eaten, and we all sat down together over bowls of fantastic lamb soup. She also recommended that we try the goat stomach! It might sound bad to foreigners to China, but if you love burgers and sausage, you’ll love this. It was like a grandmother‘s homemade cooking, and a great way to end the day with our wonderful guide. We highly recommend Becky and Catherine Lu Tours for exploring this fascinating city.

  We booked Catherine Lu tours through Get Your Guide and they excelled with there efforts to make it a great experience despite the obstacles we faced due to an unforeseen national parade that meant access to and from our hotel wasn't possible. After patiently booking us into another hotel we were able to enjoy a fantastic experience with the help of Julia our very informative tour guide. We had a tasty meal, were shown and educated about the history and were lucky enough to meet Mr Yang the farmer who discovered the army and were safely put on our train home.

  Agnes our tour guide was best, she shared many stories of the city and teracotta warriors. She is a caring person and make sure we enjoy. She brought us to an authentic local noodle place for lunch, it is a must try and Agnes shared many funny stories about local cusinie and culture. We highly recommend her. Catherine Lu tours arranged the same day return by picking up and dropping at the hotel. Very convinent and efficient.

  Had a fantastic tour of the Terracotta Warriors, Xi'an City Wall and the Muslim Quarter with John! John was extremely knowledgeable and took some great pictures of us as well. It was a long day trip from Beijing but so worth it. If you can, spend the night in Xi'an. Seeing the Warriors was definitely bucket list item checked! As an added bonus we had a chance to meet one of the brothers who discovered them in 1974 while digging a well.
