Reviews
Thank you for your arrangements, which made our Xinjiang trip truly unforgettable! We especially want to commend our tour leader, Xiao Ma, and our concierge, Mao Mao! Tour leader Xiao Ma diligently took us to different places every day, finding delicious food and fun activities, and thoughtfully taking photos for us (even on the cold day at Sayram Lake, he did his best to fulfill our drone photography request). He also stayed until the very end to address any questions we had. He's the best tour leader I've ever encountered! Concierge Mao Mao also clearly explained our itinerary to us every day. Whenever I contacted her, she responded quickly and was very patient, which put us completely at ease! The entire trip was relaxed and unhurried, and our accommodations were comfortable! We will definitely visit Xinjiang again, and when we bring our parents in the future, we will book this tour again! Thank you!
Our trip to Northern Xinjiang has come to a successful end, and we're especially grateful to our guide, Brother Long, for his professional companionship throughout the journey! The itinerary was well-planned, and the timing was precise. He not only showed us the magnificent natural scenery of Northern Xinjiang but also shared a lot about the local culture, history, and customs. He was attentive and thoughtful every step of the way, always quick to help resolve any issues, and exceptionally caring towards the children, making our entire trip easy and worry-free. Brother Long is not only highly skilled but also warm, sincere, and humorous. He came fully equipped (bringing a drone and a DSLR camera), which filled the entire journey with laughter. Plus, the car was very spacious, fully functional, and had comfortable seats, ensuring we weren't tired at all! Thank you, Brother Long, for your hard work and for giving us unforgettable memories of Northern Xinjiang. We sincerely recommend him to everyone planning a trip to Xinjiang!
