5.00Kai was an excellent guide who helped us a lot, with very detailed explanations about the Terracotta Warriors and curious anecdotes that made the visit even more interesting. In addition, at the end of the tour he gave us some additional recommendations and some kind farewell gifts. On the other hand, Guo, the taxi driver, also treated us wonderfully. The car was spacious and comfortable, and even offered us complimentary water during the drive.

5.00We had a wonderful day with our tour guide Kai. He was very knowledgeable and helped us to manage the huge crowds. We would not have seen anywhere near what we did without him. Our driver Mr Liu was a very safe driver and the car was very comfortable and clean ,also luxurious. The whole trip was 10 out of 10. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Terracotta Warriors. Definitely worth every cent.
Best tour ever!

5.00I had an amazing experience visiting the Terracotta Soldiers with my tour guide Kai. He was incredibly knowledgeable, detailed, and passionate about the history and culture of Xi’an. Kai knew exactly where to take us to get the best views and avoid the crowds, which made the tour even more enjoyable. His explanations of each pit and the archaeological process were clear, engaging, and full of fascinating details that brought the entire site to life. You can tell he truly loves what he does and takes pride in sharing his city’s rich heritage. If you’re planning to visit the Terracotta Warriors, I highly recommend asking for a private tour with Kai — he will turn your visit into an unforgettable experience!
Fantastic experience

5.00Julia was our guide and she and the driver arrived promptly at our hotel. On our arrival Julia knew exactly where to go and guided us through security. At each exhibit hall, Julia again knew exactly where to stand to get the best view and experience. She was extremely knowledgable about the site and her English was fantastic. I would highly recommend this tour and Julia was fantastic. Thank you so much.

5.00Myself and 5 friends booked a trip to visit the Terracotta warriors with Catherine Lu tours Xi’an. We were met at our lobby by the wonderful Grace and driven to the tour by Mr Hu. Grace’s knowledge and character really made our day. We were provided with an unforgettable experience from them both. Beyond the tour of the attraction, they both took us to a local restaurant and provided a locals eye view of this wonderful city. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to friends or book them again when we’re back.
