- Winfried· June 20th, 2025Unfortunately one day less on the river than stated when booking. Good facilities; spacious, clean cabin. Spacious upper deck. Very good organization of the interesting excursions. The trip through the three gorges was really great, although the constant soundtrack from the commentator, who spoke only mediocre English, would have been dispensable. The food was varied and of excellent quality. Overall very good price/performance ratioShow more
- Sandra· September 20th, 2024The 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 more
- Kathrin· July 21st, 2024I booked two consecutive tours with Silk Road Tours and Programme and organisation were perfect and in line with the description. Guides were very friendly and flexibe to accomodate individual wishes (special food, visits outside the programme etc); the large majority also had a very good background on local culture and history. Transportation was always ok, food was always good and accomodations as well. A very big thanks to Ben Yan from Silkroad for his perfect support answering my many individual questions and requests.Show more

Asked on June 17th, 2024We are interested in "Yunnan Highlights 14D" by Silk Road Trips. They have daily departures. Does this mean that it is not an escorted group tour? We would travel ourselves from city to city and then be met by a local guide? There are choices of hotels. Is the final price only determined once we have selected the hotels?
- Silk Road TripsOperator•Written June 2024
The tour is based on minimum of 2 people. The tour guides are local guides in each city, not fully escorted. Hotels listed are for reference, not for choosing.
