- RSRobyn· January 8th, 2024Although the weather was very cold, hotels were warm. The history and sights were amazing. Guides were helpful and knowledgeable. I could have spent an extra day in the sand dunes. Arrival was delayed and didn't have enough time to see everything.Show more
Silk Road Trips commented on this reviewThanks for your review. We are so pleased to read you enjoyed the tour and services.Trip date: December 2023 - MMMaryam· October 28th, 2023This tour was an incredible journey and a very good introduction to the complex history of China, the beauty of the vast landscape and the intricacies of Chinese philosophy. With the exception of Kashgar every city was absolutely worth it! The people of these cities were kind, respectful and generous, the guides passionate, knowledgeable and caring and the drivers prompt and professional. They were excellent at recommending the best places to eat, things to do, places to see, respecting my additional need, translating my words to the locals and vice versa and protecting/keeping me safe at all times. The hotels were all tidy, clean (with the exception of Kashgar) and conveniently located in terms of their proximity to local attractions to visit in your spare time and shops/restaurants. Further SilkRoads do an excellent job in organising your trip making it hassle free. All the tickets, transport, VISA requirements, and hotels are organised by them. Plus you have 24/7 contact with them during your trip for any queries you may have. All in all a wonderful trip. I just wish that I had an extra day in the middle of the trip in X’ian/Dunhuang and switch the day in Kashgar to an extra day in Urumqi so that one could enjoy some extra hikes, hots springs (in X’ian) and some rides (camel, horse and bike) in these beautiful locations. Thanks a lot to the SilkRoad team for a memorable experience!Show moreSilk Road Trips commented on this reviewIt is our great honor to operate this tour for you, and so pleased to receive your kind comments about it. We will do our best to improve in the future by listening to the feedback, and let more travelers enjoy the historical Silk Road in China with us.Trip date: October 2023
