- James· July 8th, 2025My wife and I were generally pleased with the total experience. There were a few hiccups but our main contact, Ben, was fast to respond to us. He was our lifeline!Show more
- 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

Traveler•Written March 2024Julia attempted to book the adventure as a solo traveller but this is not letting her do so, would you be able to let her know how much the total would be for the May 17th 2024 departure as a solo traveller?
- Silk Road TripsOperator•Written March 2024
Sincerely sorry for the mistake to put the dinner and lunches in the included items, which are not included and corrected already. The lunch or dinner costs about USD5-15 per meal as per the traveler's request during this tour.
