💬 Real Positive Reviews from Travelers
Ms. Ouyang from Guangzhou: I just finished a nine-day Southern Xinjiang tour, from the vibrant atmosphere of Kashgar Old City to the magnificent Pamir Plateau, from the vastness of the Taklamakan Desert to the grand panorama of Tomur Canyon — the scenery along the way was picturesque. What truly brought this picture to life was our driver-guide, brother Simayi. Nine days of close companionship took us from initial strangers to talking about everything. He wasn’t just our driver — he was our “living map” and “know-it-all” in Xinjiang. He drove steadily and recommended many local restaurants frequented by residents — affordable and delicious. Throughout the trip, we never entered any shopping stores and had a completely relaxed experience.
Mr. Zhang from Shanghai: I’m a photography enthusiast and specifically chose their Northern Xinjiang photography route. Over the 8-day itinerary, I captured many satisfying shots. The driver-guide knew shooting spots that most tourists don’t know about and would remind us of the best shooting times. Everyone in the group shared the same interest, and we had great exchanges. The pace was relaxed without being rushed from one attraction to another — very satisfying.
Ms. Li from Chengdu: I took the Ili 7-day loop with my elderly parents and child, booking a 14-person small group. The guide was especially thoughtful — knowing my child couldn’t eat spicy food, he communicated with restaurants in advance at every meal to adjust the flavors. The hotels were all chosen close to the scenic areas, so there was no rushing, and neither the elderly nor the child felt tired. The pricing was very transparent with no extra charges throughout — I saved more than my original budget. I’ll definitely choose them again on my next trip to Xinjiang.
Finally, a reminder to everyone: when choosing a tour group, don’t just look at low prices. Carefully verify what’s included in the itinerary and the service standards. All agreements should be written into the formal contract to ensure your rights are protected. Wishing everyone a wonderful Xinjiang trip!
