💬 Many travelers who have completed tours have left genuine feedback:
Positive review from Ms. Ouyang of Guangzhou: Just finished a nine-day Southern Xinjiang tour. From the vibrant atmosphere of Kashgar Old City to the grandeur of the Pamir Plateau, from the vastness of the Taklamakan Desert to the magnificent vistas of Tomur Canyon — the scenery along the way was picturesque. What truly brought this picture to life was our driver-guide, Simayi. Nine days together took us from initial unfamiliarity to endless conversations. He was more than our driver — he was our “living map” and “know-it-all” in Xinjiang. His driving was steady, he proactively reminded us to stop and take photos at beautiful viewpoints, and recommended many local restaurants where we enjoyed delicious specialty dishes.
Positive review from Mr. Chen of Shanghai and family: We booked the 8-day Northern Xinjiang loop with our parents and child. We were worried the elderly and child might not keep up, but the itinerary was relaxed with no early morning rush. Ample time was given at Kanas and Hemu, and the guide was very attentive to the elderly and child. The group meals were also on the lighter side, suitable for family travel. The whole trip was worry-free.
Positive review from Ms. Li of Chengdu: My best friend and I booked the 7-day Ili loop. We were worried a group tour wouldn’t be fulfilling, but we got a full half day at Sailimu Lake to circle the lake, stopping whenever we wanted and taking lots of beautiful photos. The group meals were better than expected — we had authentic big plate chicken and hand-pulled rice. The hotel location was also great, convenient for exploring the local night market. We’ll choose this agency again next time we visit Xinjiang.
