💬 Real Reviews from Past Tourists
Ms. Ouyang from Guangzhou: I 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, Brother Simayi. Nine days of being together took us from initial unfamiliarity to endless conversations. He wasn’t just our driver — he was our “living map” and “know-it-all” in Xinjiang. He drove steadily and explained things in great detail. Every time we arrived at a scenic area, he would tell us the best spots for photos and which local restaurants served the most authentic food. The entire trip was extremely enjoyable.
Mr. Chen from Shanghai: This time I brought my parents on the 7-day Ili Loop tour. I was initially worried the seniors couldn’t keep up with the pace, but the guide arranged a very relaxed schedule with ample time at each scenic area. The accommodations were quiet, and the meals were specially tailored to the seniors’ tastes. There were no additional charges throughout the entire trip, and my parents were extremely satisfied. We’ll choose this agency again next time we visit Xinjiang.
Ms. Zhang, a parent from Chengdu: I brought two kids on the 7-day Kanas tour. The guide was especially patient and taught the children a lot about local nature. Along the way, he also helped us carry things and look after the kids, which saved us a lot of worry. The children had a wonderful time and kept saying they want to go back to Xinjiang to see the log cabins in Hemu.
