The tour brought us an amazing Xinjiang. This tour was really well-organized with details of destinations,weather,dress codes. The tour guide XiaoZhou took care of us very warmly. He introduced about the destinations in details as well as the safety warnings. He aslo gave us many recommendations and tips when we needed to by souvenirs in Urumqi.

This trip was very enjoyable. Although there was a wide age range in our group, everyone got along remarkably well. The itinerary was also well-planned and not too tiring. The hotels were all mid-to-high end with excellent hygiene. Our driver, Shen Kequan, also acted as our guide. He was quietly efficient and didn't talk too much. My mother is elderly and not very mobile, and he helped her with her luggage throughout the trip, which greatly added to the positive experience.

What made our 8-day trip to Northern Xinjiang so reassuring was Mr. Wang Quanhai. He wasn't just our reliable "driver + guide + photographer," but also like a caring family member, taking care of people in every detail. His dedication started even before the trip began. Every morning, he was always there earlier than us, neatly arranging everyone's luggage in the car so we could easily set off when we arrived. Once we got in the car, there would always be bottled water and tissues on the seats. Even more thoughtfully, he prepared fruits, yogurt, and snacks every day to replenish everyone's energy, making us feel like kids whose mom packed them full of snacks before leaving the house. It was especially cold in Hemu that day. We were tired and hungry after taking photos, and he bought large naan bread for everyone out of his own pocket to fill us up. On the icy and snowy roads of Altay, the car skidded several times, but he always kept it steady, giving us a great sense of security. Our group of young people stopped and took photos all the time, and he never rushed us. He always waited patiently and helped us record the moments with his camera, afraid that we would miss any of them. Meeting Mr. Wang was truly the greatest luck of this trip. He made us believe that the scenery is the base color of a good trip, but meeting a warm and reliable person is the brightest light in our memories.

There were no shopping trips or hidden fees, which was great. Our driver and guide, Mr. Zhang, was also very responsible. The hotels were decent, especially the log cabins in Hemu, which were very nice, but the cleanliness of the hotels could be improved. Overall, it was pretty good.

it was a wonderful tour. I’m a foreigner not speaking Chinese but could complete the tour using translator app. Tour operator communicated beforehand and provided a bus license number so that I can ride a right bus.(there were 6 bus in front of hotel!) Also it is better to take a screen shot of your number next to your name. Roll call was done a couple of times by a number in Chinese. I exchanged We hat with a guide so that I could receive a QR code which is required for people without Chinese ID card. There are multiple options to choose from. I chose a option which includes everything. (Flying over the world, cable car and boat) Flying over the world attraction was fun. Lunch was provided with traditional dance. it was well organized tour and tour guide was excellent.

It was a great experience! As time spent mostly on the road, when you enjoy the best views of the mountains & grasslands, a private tour gave us lots of private space & flexibility to stop if we want. Every sight was breathtaking. Our driver/guide was friendly & very patient with us. Helped us take photos too.

The tour was goid experience. Our guide, Mr. Zhou was a helpful, very informative guy. The highlught of this tour for me is the camel ride to top of Flaming Mountain, where you can see the rocky part, sand part and the whole gigantic view of Flaming Mountain..It's spectacular. There is some add-on in this tour, I paid extra 180RMB for lunch & camel ride.
