Fantastic 5.0
I've returned from my 10-day trip to Xinjiang. I booked my own flights but had no idea about the itinerary, so I contacted Klook. They responded very quickly. After the customer service representative asked about my general requirements, they helped me create an itinerary. I was satisfied with the accommodations they arranged. Before departure, the concierge arranged for our driver, Master Liu. Master Liu took great care of us throughout the trip, helping us with any needs we had. He also paid attention to the surroundings while driving, and whenever he saw a beautiful view, he would let us stop to take photos. The concierge also reminded us each night about the next day's itinerary and what to pay attention to. They also monitored local weather and traffic conditions. When bad weather was anticipated, they discussed it with us in advance and suggested changes to the itinerary, ultimately helping us avoid heavy snow and road closures on the Duku Highway. 👍🏻

The itinerary included punctual pick-up and departure. The local guide was very clear about the optional activities and the route. We had ample time at Tianchi Lake in Tianshan, and the scenery was beautiful. After the tour, we returned to the city on time. This is quite convenient for those looking to join a day trip.

This tour is a good introduction to North Xinjiang for first-time visitors. However, be prepared for long hours on the road. That said, the overall experience depends a lot on the driver-guide. I didn't appreciate being directed to expensive restaurants instead of being given a choice. On my last day, the airport driver insisted I leave the hotel early because of traffic but there was none. I arrived at the airport 3.5 hours before my flight, apparently because the driver had another booking. Overall, the scenery made the trip worthwhile, but I hope the company gives guests more flexibility and puts customers' convenience first.

I highly recommend this private tour, in 9 days we were able to appreciate the beauty of Xinjiang. I am still processing how unreal the places are. Truly grateful also to the most accomodating and patient driver, Mr.Lee, despite the language barrier we felt very taken care of by him.

Many thanks to Brother Wang for taking such good care of us throughout the trip. He safely drove us through mountains and rivers every day and shared many stories, making our journey richer and warmer. He was also very thoughtful when one of our companions lost an item, arranging for it to be delivered to our new accommodation.

What to know before visiting Urumqi

Brief overview of Ürümqi and what visitors book

Ürümqi attracts travellers mainly for Tours and attraction passes, and booking demand swings a lot through the year. Klook data shows a strong summer rhythm with the busiest months in late summer and much quieter activity in early spring.

Best times to visit and how prices move

Demand peaks in August while March is the quietest month of the year according to Klook booking data. Prices trend lower toward the end of the calendar year, with December typically the cheapest month and June typically the priciest month on Klook. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for the late-autumn to early-winter window around November–December; for peak-season atmosphere and fuller activity, visit in August. Note that demand and prices don’t move perfectly together here: August is the busiest month but the absolute highest prices often occur in June.

Tips for travellers

Most experiences in Ürümqi can be booked with a fair amount of flexibility: Klook bookings typically show people confirm about three weeks ahead, with many last-minute bookings possible up to around 11 days before travel. If you plan to travel in the August peak, consider locking popular tours a little earlier; otherwise, spontaneous booking often works fine on Klook.
