- SSandra· September 20th, 2024Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishThe trip was very well organized by Silk Road Tour. The local tour guide and program were well coordinated and offered great insights with opportunities for independent exploration. A delicious and varied lunch was the daily highlight. The group was nice and small with four people. The tour guide and driver were responsive to special requests and I felt safe and comfortable.Show moreSilk Road Trips commented on this reviewThank you so much for your kind review, that is our great pleasure to operate your China tour along the ancient Silk Road.
