Maria was very knowledgeable, personable, and fun. She used her excellent English skills to explain complex historical and cultural concepts easily. We appreciate the care and time she took to ensure this trip was memorable for my family and me.

I had the pleasure of having Tina as my tour guide in Xi’an, and she was absolutely fantastic! She explained the history in such an easy and engaging way that it was simple to understand and appreciate. Tina is approachable, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. Through her stories, she made history come alive, and I learned so much about the rich culture and history of China. If you’re planning to visit China, I highly recommend booking Tina as your tour guide in Xi’an—you won’t be disappointed! Catherine Lu Tours is a trustworthy and reliable company that truly takes care of every detail of your trip, making the experience stress-free and enjoyable. China is such a beautiful country, and it’s a destination everyone should visit at least once.

Going on the tour with our guide, Tony, was the best decision we’ve made for the trip! He shared excellent knowledge about China society both in the past and present in both Chinese and English. Whenever he introduces the sights to us, people around are also drawn to his sharing and listened intently. Undoubtedly, our trip to Xi’an would’ve been an empty shell without his stories. He is passionate about people and societies, and always had interesting stories to tell us about the norms of people in ancient and modern China. He brought us to climb Mount Huashan, visit the ancient wall, Terracotta Army, and other sights that were not in our itinerary but he knew we would enjoy. Initially, we were uncertain if the elderly in our group could manage Mt Huashan, but he gave us great confidence to do it, and went at a pace that everyone enjoyed. He also took great care of us, helped us with hotel check-in, made sure we wore clothes warm enough, had a good sense of humour and took great photos. Our family enjoyed the tour with him and highly recommend him for anyone visiting Xi’an! Thank you, Tony! :)

Right after I booked the tour, Christine (owner) and Cindy (tour office) reached out. We then sorted out which sights I wanted to see for each of the two days. Our guide, Agnes, met us in our hotel lobby on time. She was super knowledgeable and friendly, has lots of stamina for each of the days. Our driver was very safe. I would highly recommend this tour. There are plenty of options available to customize your tour and I felt they covered a good range of interests.
