Excellent private tour experience at the Xi’an Terracotta Warriors! Kai was an outstanding private tour guide—extremely knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about the history and significance of the Terracotta Warriors. He explained everything in a clear, engaging way and answered all of our questions with impressive depth and detail. His timing was perfect, making sure we arrived early and avoided unnecessary crowds, and he kept the entire day running smoothly without ever feeling rushed. What truly set Kai apart was his kindness and thoughtfulness—he even carried my bags for me without hesitation, which was so appreciated and showed how much he genuinely cares about his guests’ comfort. Mr. Chao, our driver, was equally excellent. He was very prompt, courteous, and drove safely and smoothly throughout the day. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and his punctuality made the experience completely stress-free. Together, Kai and Mr. Chao made our visit to the Xi’an Terracotta Warriors unforgettable. This was a truly first-class experience, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, seamless, and personalized tour in Xi’an.

Becky was my tour guide and was very welcoming on my arrival to the city of Xi’an to see the Terracotta Army, she also has great knowledge of the history of the army and the city of Xi’an, Becky was kind and making sure that I was enjoying the tour. I recommend Catherine Lu Tours and definitely ask for Becky as your guide.

The driver was punctual, the car was nice, spacious and clean. He picked us up from the hotel and took us to the archaeological site. He drove prudently and professionally. He explained how to enter the archaeological site and then waited for us without rushing. Once the tour was over we arranged for him to take us to the airport. He was very courteous, he put on soft music and we slept for the whole trip 😊 he even gave us a gift to wish us a good trip. Really recommend it!

Visiting the Terracotta Warriors is already an incredible experience, but doing it with Ark made it truly unforgettable. His passion, deep knowledge, and storytelling ability brought the entire site to life in a way I never expected. Ark guided us through the museum with perfect pacing, avoiding the crowds and taking us to the best viewing points. He explained not only the historical facts but also the human stories behind the warriors,the artistry, the symbolism, the archaeological discoveries,all delivered with warmth and clarity. Thanks to Ark, I didn’t just see the Terracotta Army, I felt connected to its history. If you’re visiting Xi’an, don’t miss the chance to take a tour with Ark. He’s more than a guide—he’s a storyteller who turns history into something personal and powerful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Transfer was punctual and fast in a very comfortable ca. We went early and the ride was relaxing. The driver brought us right to ticket scanner which saved us a bit qeuing time. Money well spent. The place itself might leave you bit speechless in a positive sense and defintily with a wonderful memory for the rest of our life.

Booked tickets and private driver for 2 people Arrived in front of the entrance the driver tells us that we must return to the meeting point established after 2 hours. Absolutely insufficient time for the visit, given the influx of people I sent 2 wathsapp messages to the manager who had sent us the data to ask for clarification while I was inside the structure. They were read after a few minutes, the answer came after 11 hours...So we had to skip some areas to get to the car on time. Also arrived at the agreed meeting point, the driver was not there and we had to look for him because he was in another place

Great experience. We were very happy and satisfied with the trip. The guide was very nice and experienced.

It is a pity the number of people and the queues to be able to enter.We had a lot of hopes but we could not distrutta anything. Our guide was very knowledgeable and spoke perfectly English
