Review for: Small group of 1-6 people (1+1 first-class 7-seater car)

This trip to Xinjiang was my first time experiencing a small group tour of 6 people, and I unexpectedly ended up loving it. The local travel agency arranged the group consolidation, and the pace of the itinerary was just right. Ample time was left at each attraction to slowly take it all in—no rushing, and no missed scenery. Throughout the journey, the accommodations were comfortable and the experience was thoroughly enjoyable. Staying at a beautiful detached log cabin in Nalati was a particular highlight, with pastoral scenery right outside the window. Along the way, the landscapes were picturesque and each view brought its own surprises, leaving behind a truly memorable autumn journey in Xinjiang.

Review for: Small group of 1-6 people (1+1 first-class 7-seater car)

It is rare to find such straightforward and decisive travel companions, and we laughed and chatted all the way. The driver was exceptionally nice and worked very hard, explaining the general background of the attractions along the way and flexibly adjusting the pace based on time and weather to ensure we could see the most beautiful scenery. The driver even helped us shoot drone videos, and at many attractions, we filmed funny, impromptu group creative shots like sudden leaps. Although there were occasional instances of missed ticket purchases along the way, the travel agency handled and resolved them properly and quickly. Overall, excluding the two days for travel to and from Xinjiang, the eight full days of the trip were quite tiring, but also extremely enjoyable. I am so glad we chose the 1+1 first-class tour bus; otherwise, spending so long in the car every day would have made it very difficult to relieve the fatigue. I am very grateful to have had such a wonderful driver and groupmates.

Quite a good trip overall! Although 10 days is a bit rushed and doesn't allow for an in-depth tour, we were able to see most of the highlights of Northern Xinjiang. The driver and guide were great, with excellent driving skills, and they remained enthusiastic and attentive throughout the entire journey. The only downside was—could the travel agency please group tours by age range next time!!!

A smooth and fortunate off-season trip to Xinjiang. The scenic spots were not too crowded, and the weather was great. Especially the service from our driver and guide, Mr. Yin Jinxin, who was enthusiastic and attentive. During the trip, he took great photos of everyone in the group, edited them, and helped us capture some of the best photos of our lives. He also proactively checked if our hotel rooms were satisfactory and helped us resolve any issues. He is a truly wonderful person!

Review for: 1-6人小团

This 10-day, 9-night trip to Xinjiang was very satisfying. It allowed us to experience different geological features and appreciate various beautiful scenery. The wonderful travel experience is inseparable from every aspect of the arrangement of Kelu. The housekeeper service is thoughtful. More importantly, it is the driver Yue Chao who served us all the way. His driving skills are first-class, and the turning ramp is very smooth. There was a beautiful woman who was carsick in the car, but she didn't feel uncomfortable on the Duku Highway. His mighty and strong appearance has a delicate, gentle and considerate side. Every scenic spot will remind the precautions in the group. Although it is a small group, different people have different play time. He tries his best to meet everyone's needs and pick up tourists from the scenic spot to the hotel in batches. It is very touching. What is rare is that although he drives very hard, he accompanies us into the important scenic spots, tells us what is worth seeing, and takes videos for us at Sailimu Lake. The service is first-class. Thanks to the driver Yue Chao again.

Total score: 5 points Overall: Completing the 10 days and 9 nights of the Northern Powerful Loop may be an impossible task for other tour groups. With the cooperation of the driver and the 6 efficient team members, God made most of the trip beautiful. He left early and came back late with less traffic jams. He did not waste his precious vacation time and saw picturesque scenery for many days. It is recommended to ask customer service for the contact information of the local travel agency a few days before departure, and then sign an electronic contract with the local travel agency after arrival. (4.2 points) Driver: "Hour" is conscientious and conscientious, not afraid of hardship, and his driving skills are really above the class, very stable and safe. My friend who is prone to motion sickness does not need to take motion sickness medicine even if he keeps driving on the mountain road. He also accompanied us to the scenic spot, orange 7 The driver and driver kept it clean. The driver helped us handle the procedures for Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan residents to enter and exit Cocotuohai and Bayinbuluke (4.5 points) Accommodation: The Devil City Hotel has an exotic feel, and the Yining Hotel is okay. Other accommodation conditions. It's limited and outdated. For example, most hair dryers will stop working if they get too hot. It's hard to say if you want to share a room. Fortunately, the group members who share a room this time don't necessarily have coffee (3.5 points). ) Attractions: I climbed 1,068 stairs in Kanas and climbed the mountain twice. I personally think the natural grassland of Selim Lake is the most beautiful, and the Tianshan Tree Lake blends into one. Then the blue of Selim Lake is unforgettable. (4.5 points. ) Food: The restaurants recommended by the driver are all good. The restaurants near Serimu Lake have various fish dishes such as salmon dumplings. You can eat mutton and cantaloupe every day, and the chicken dishes are more expensive. (4.5 points) Activities: Self-funded activities in August are not cheap, including lake tours and horse riding (4 points).

Review for: 1-6人小团

The significance of travel lies not only in the scenery and humanities, but also in the getting along with strangers during the trip. The role of the tour leader is even more important. This 10-day and 9-night trip to the Northern Xinjiang Grand Loop was led by Mr. Yang (Yang Shilong is humorous, thoughtful, and a handsome guy born in 1997). The journey was full of joy and happiness. Mr. Yang is a particularly friendly tour leader with excellent service! He introduced ethnic customs along the way, took us to pick watermelons in the fields, took us to see the stars in the middle of the night because of our wishes, and took us to see the stars with drones. He bought us a lot of delicious food along the way, including watermelons, Hami melons, old man melons, and various melons. He was very generous. His driving skills were also very good, so stable that everyone slept very well in the car. I was originally very carsick, but I didn't feel dizzy at all this time. At the attractions where tickets were required, Mr. Yang also actively helped us buy tickets, and the restaurants recommended along the way tasted very good. He also guided us to check in and take pictures, which was beautiful. He helped everyone with their luggage every time and reminded everyone to pay attention to safety. Mr. Yang is truly the best leader I have ever met, bar none! He is absolutely worthy of it!

Letter of praise Dear klook and Meichen Company: From July 21 to July 30, our group of six visited Xinjiang for the first time and truly experienced the beautiful mountains, waters and people in Xinjiang, and enjoyed the great beauty of Xinjiang. Here, we would like to thank Comrade Yang Shilong, the team leader and driver, for providing civilized, standardized, warm and thoughtful services! Let us have a good time, eat well and live well! Comrade Yang Shilong, the team leader and driver, adheres to professional ethics and allows us to experience a civilized and happy trip to Xinjiang. He takes customer satisfaction as the first standard, and his words and deeds are civilized and polite, and his service attitude is humble. In these days, not only did no unpleasant things happen, but I also felt his very mature service ability, which made us praise him. While driving, he introduced the scenery along the way at any time and stopped at the best viewing position in time. At each scenic spot, he briefly introduced the highlights of the tour and precautions. The pick-up and drop-off sites are always chosen at the nearest location and the best location. He also repeatedly declined our offer to buy refreshing drinks and energy-replenishing foods for him. He often gets up early and stays up late, never complaining, making us feel the precise service of Comrade Xiao Yang in our fatigue. Comrade Yang Shilong can listen carefully and coordinate to solve our suggestions and difficulties in a timely manner. When arranging lunch and dinner every day, Comrade Xiao Yang can ask for our opinions in advance and recommend relevant Xinjiang specialties, which are delicious and economical. When we entered the Bayinbuluke station, due to weather factors, we asked to change the station. He was able to communicate with the company in time, change the station, and smoothly settle in the Narat Hotel at a suitable price, so that we could live well. On the last day of the trip back to Urumqi, he was able to get up early and rush on the road according to our requirements, squeezed out time for us to visit the Urumqi International Grand Bazaar in the evening, bought Xinjiang specialties, and let us return with a full load! Comrade Yang Shilong has superb driving skills and ensured the safety and smoothness of our trip to Xinjiang. Faced with the special road conditions in Xinjiang and the heavy traffic and crowds during the peak tourist season, whether we can ensure the safety and smoothness of the trip is also a matter of great concern to us. He has a strong sense of safety and reminds us to fasten our seat belts every time we get on the car. He concentrated on driving, and there was no danger when he was traveling through the rugged mountain roads of many high mountains and canyons. He drove long distances for many days with amazing endurance. In the more than 500 kilometers from Urumqi to Burqin, more than 7 hours from Hemu to Kanas, more than 8 hours from Duku Highway to Narati, 550 kilometers and 9 hours, he was able to stop and rest according to the prompts, and then rush on after recovering his energy. In short, we admire Comrade Xiao Yang for being able to provide such civilized, standardized, mature and meticulous service at a young age, and we are also very happy that your company has such a good employee! Everyone said: Next time we come to Xinjiang, we will find such comrades to serve us; after returning, we must spread the warm, thoughtful, civilized and standardized service spirit of Klook and Meichen Company, and strongly recommend Klook and Meichen Company to our relatives and friends! We sincerely wish Klook and Meichen Company a prosperous business! Comrade Xiao Yang has a smooth work! 1230 Six-person tour group: Lin Sheng July 31, 2024
