Amazing day with Catherine Lu Tours
Manc 7,Apr 18, 2026

5.00I can highly recommend Catherine Lu and her team. We had a fantastic day with her guide Rosa visiting the Terracotta Army. The whole experience was 5 star and we had one of the best days. The driver was great, very professional and the car was spacious and very clean. Rosa spoke perfect English and gave us some really interesting information and facts. I could tell a lot of planning and thought had gone into the tour. At the museum we were shown the main sights plus some extra little things which we would have never noticed. Rosa made sure we were happy and were seeing everything, she had a great way of delivering the tour. My wife and I are fairly seasoned travellers and this tour was one of the best we have had. Thank you to the whole team at Catherine Lu.

5.00Wonderful full day! Our guide, William, was knowledgeable, communicative, and sensitive to our needs. At the end of the day we had an excellent understanding of the unification of China, the Qin Dynasty, the reason for the terracotta warriors, etc., and the importance of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and a calligraphy lesson (we had already visited the city wall), so William arranged a calligraphy lesson instead. Highly recommend! Also, the interaction with Viatour was easy and the driver was also excellent.
Excellent

3.00No response to my questions from Catherine after my payment made for a private tour “Top 3 highlights all inclusive in 8 hours”! Tried to contact the assigned tour guide Grace one day before the private tour but she is not reachable and not responding until I asked my hotel concierge to call Grace to re confirm the pick up time and venue. After a while, Grace finally sent me a message and told me to assign another tour guide Agnes at the last minutes. We met Agnes and the driver and they have no idea about the new arrangement. A bit disappointing about this unresponsive situation and they should be more proactive to inform me any changes ahead and not make me to reach out to them so many times and waited for their replies!
Wonderful experience with...

5.00This was hands down the BEST tour in Xi’an! Rosa was absolutely incredible — her English is perfect, she’s a fantastic storyteller, and her knowledge of the city and its history is truly impressive. She gave us just the right amount of information to bring the sights to life without ever feeling overwhelming. We visited the Terracotta Army and explored the beautiful city of Xi’an, and Rosa made every stop memorable. She even took us to the best local noodle place for lunch — it was such a treat! Mr. Feng, the driver, was professional, safe, and made the day seamless. We are so grateful to Rosa and Mr. Feng for showing us this amazing city. This tour exceeded all our expectations — we couldn’t recommend it more!
Best tour in Xi’an!
