- 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
- Klaus· May 27th, 2024Everything was great. The only downside of the trip was the air conditioning on the ship, which was not adjustable and gave us a bad cold.Show more

Asked on June 2nd, 2024I am interested in a Xian to Kashgar tour (or possibly the other way around) - but as part of a longer Silk Road journey into Tajiki/Kyrghyz/Uzbeki/Turmeni-stan. Is this something that some of your customers do? Can you offer any advice on this?
Silk Road TripsOperator•Written June 2024Most of people do two parts for the Silk Road, China section and central Asian section, therefore it won't be too long and tiring. A few travelers take a long tour from Beijing or Xi'an to central Asia, but it is a very long tour.
