A great experience, perfect for those who don't want to plan an itinerary. I highly recommend the no man's land tour – an unforgettable experience. The drivers were also very dedicated and considerate, buying us bottled water and cantaloupe while we were visiting the attractions. Very thoughtful!

Just got back from an amazing trip to the wild open spaces! ⛰️ From the initial itinerary selection and route planning to last-minute adjustments, the customer service team was always in touch, providing helpful answers and solutions. The local driver and guide were also fantastic, showing us all the best sights, tastes, and experiences. I'll definitely be back! [Thumbs up emoji]

Itinerary was good. We enjoyed the tour. Our tour guide, Li Tao who drove us along the way was a good person and he helped us through our journey. One thing about this tour is that Mogao Grottoes tickets for foreigner can only be bought by the clients. It was included in the package but I had to buy my own tickets. Tour agent eventually reimbursed me but that took a bit of time, after i finished the tour.

I'd like to extend a special thanks to our driver and guide, Zhang Tao (小张), for our 6-day, 5-night trip through the Hexi Corridor. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and he drove safely. He was very patient and considerate towards my parents. We often ran over schedule when taking photos, and he was always accommodating, sometimes even missing his own meal or rest breaks as a result, but he never complained. He was truly thoughtful and I highly recommend him!

Gansu is an underrated place. Pingshan canyon rivals that of GRAND canyon. The In-depth tour is an amazing experience. Mingsha mountain is definitely unforgettable. The grottos paint a breath taking, rich history that is captivating. Driver/ guide Xiao Cao was very experienced and responsible in arranging everything!

driver was very helpful even with agency group chat support from their team members, a trip with no guide and joined-in Chinese speaking group was also a good experience with new friends. Great site visiting and another good experience.

Very well organized day trip to Bingling.
(I hsd to rate a guide, but this was without one.)
We don't speak Chinese, but there was someone to translate. It could help if the driver had some sentences ready, such as "30 minutes here".
Overall it was an easy enough day, although I think that another 30 minutes at Bingling would be better. We felt rushed to get back on the boat.
Also, the back seat of the van was back-breaking for me.
