Review for: Urumqi Turpan and Karez Well Full-Day Group Tour

It was spectacularly unique and well worth it, as we visited many places. It would have been difficult to do on our own. The guide gave us plenty of time to walk around and take photos. It was very hot, so I recommend bringing lots of water.

Review for: Urumqi Turpan and Karez Well Full-Day Group Tour

as an English speaker, this tour is hard to navigate. I found the tour guide unable to properly accommodate and provide clear instructions. I am aware the guide is specificied for Chinese speakers, but a bit of grace for when unclear instructions were given would go a long way for the overall mood of the day. however, it was still an enjoyable experience. note that these are all very much TOURIST attractions and feels inauthentic if your objective is to experience real Xinjiang culture.

Review for: Quality Bus Tours

This trip was great because of our guide, Uncle Jojo. He is a very kind-hearted person who genuinely cares for his tour group. He explains information sincerely and is always happy to chat and answer questions. He has a fun side that truly impresses the tourists, and he has a beautiful spirit. He even stopped to pick up a family struggling with a sidecar tricycle in the hot sun, letting them ride in our vehicle and dropping them off at the next rest stop. Truly impressive!

Our tour guide, Xiao Ma, was meticulous and responsible, providing clear explanations. The dune bashing in the Kumtag Desert was thrilling and fun.

Review for: Urumqi Turpan and Karez Well Full-Day Group Tour

The travel agency communicated clearly; a staff member contacted us immediately after we booked the tour. Our tour guide, Mr. Zhou Weiqiang, was excellent. He meticulously introduced the itinerary and attractions, communicated patiently, and clearly explained different options and prices, allowing us to choose the most suitable plan. He was also very proactive in helping us take photos. We highly recommend joining this tour.
