Review for: Small group of 2-6 people

The Ili small loop tour has successfully concluded, and we've safely returned to Urumqi! The scenery at Sayram Lake, Qiaxi, Nalati, and the Baili Gallery was absolutely stunning. The accommodation was also great! Most importantly, our driver, Wang Jiawei, is an excellent driver; he navigated the mountain roads very smoothly, making the entire trip safe and reliable! Highly recommended!

Review for: Small group of 2-6 people

Please extend my sincere thanks to our driver and guide, Ma Xinyu, for her hard work and thoughtful care over the past few days. As both our driver and guide, she was also our attentive personal assistant, checking the vehicle early each morning, preparing snacks and fruit, and even waking up early to hand-grind coffee for us. Knowing we love taking photos, she always brought us to the most beautiful viewpoints during the golden hour, and patiently helped us take countless photos. She drove steadily, provided interesting commentary, and was incredibly considerate, making our long journey easy and enjoyable. On the last day, on the Duku Highway, she showed us the beauty of all four seasons and the diverse landscapes. Thanks to her guidance, we not only saw the magnificent scenery of Xinjiang but also felt the warmth of this land. As someone who also drives regularly, I truly appreciate her hard work and dedication throughout the trip. I will definitely recommend Guide Ma to all my friends planning to visit Xinjiang!

Review for: 2-6人小團

This time during our trip to Xinjiang, we were deeply impressed by our housekeeper Yanyan and Master Ye. He drove very steadily and handled everything well. To be honest, having Master Ye on this trip really saved me a lot of worry. I really think he did a great job and is trustworthy.

Good to know

  1. Vehicle Qualifications: Our agency strictly selects commercial vehicles with legal operating qualifications. All vehicles undergo annual inspections and regular safety checks. We do not accept requests for specific vehicle models. Xinjiang transportation regulations stipulate that operating vehicles cannot travel more than 600 kilometers per day. If the distance exceeds 600 kilometers, the driver will face a huge fine of 20,000-100,000 RMB or revocation of their business license. Therefore, for daily travel activities outside the planned itinerary, we recommend that you arrange taxis, ride-hailing services, or other transportation yourself. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
  2. Regarding Travel Companions: This itinerary is a national group tour for 2-6 people (2 people to start, 6 people maximum). Due to the random nature of group formation, we cannot pre-screen information such as the age, gender, or region of travel companions. Special note: For tourists with specific social environment requirements, we recommend choosing a customized private car service.
  3. Regarding Single Room Supplement and Accommodation Arrangements:
  4. Voluntary Room Sharing Principle
  5. Single male/female registrants who accept room sharing arrangements can be exempt from the single room supplement. Room sharing partners are only guaranteed to be of the same gender and do not promise specific information such as age, occupation, or region. For example: a single male tourist may share a room with male tourists of different age groups or with the driver. Explanation of single occupancy fees: If you insist on single occupancy, you need to pay the full room difference (the specific amount is subject to the itinerary quotation). Accommodation rules for multiple travelers: If multiple travelers (such as families/groups) have an odd number of people, the travel agency will match genders based on available room-sharing resources on that day. For example: if a family of three travels and only a single male tourist is matched on that day, the male member of the family needs to share a room with him. Those who mind should pay the single room supplement.
  6. Regarding Accommodation: Xinjiang is still an underdeveloped area, and hotels differ greatly from those in inland areas, especially in scenic spots, where only cleanliness and hygiene can be guaranteed. Even so, rooms are still hard to come by during peak season. Most hotels do not have triple rooms. This product does not accept children sharing a room alone, nor does it accept adult tourists with children sharing a room; if you are traveling alone with a child, you must pay the single room supplement before departure or register the child as an adult, and the corresponding ticket discount difference will be refunded locally.
  7. Regarding Seat Rotation: Carpooling is not a private car service. To ensure fairness of the itinerary, seats must be rotated daily!
  8. Driver-Guide Service: Drivers have limited education and cannot provide professional explanations. Also, for safety reasons, they may not be able to interact with everyone while focusing on driving. Please understand this, fellow travelers, and prepare your travel guides in advance.
  9. Regarding Price: This route is a national scattered group tour, and prices vary across different regions. Prices also differ based on registration time, the popularity of the daily schedule, and different booking channel platforms. Once you accept our price and join the group, regardless of whether it is high or low, our agency will not accept price complaints. Please understand.
  10. Regarding After-Sales Service: During the tour, if you have any needs or suggestions, please contact your butler or team leader, and we will assist you as soon as possible. To ensure that service quality issues are handled promptly and properly, if no objections are raised during the trip and feedback is given after returning to the group, our agency will not accept any complaints after the end of the tour.
  11. Registration for large groups of six or more people: We will allocate them to two independent vehicles based on actual capacity (each vehicle is an independent small group). Each vehicle may have an independent itinerary pace or differences in intermediate stops. Forcibly demanding parallel action will interfere with the experience plans of other teams and may even lead to overall itinerary delays. Therefore, we cannot promise coordinated action between vehicles. Please understand. Those who mind should book a private group.
  12. This product defaults to standard rooms, and the cost only includes the cost of a single person per bed. Since hotels generally reserve large beds for self-sale, if tourists who need a large bed after paying the single room supplement, please inform us proactively. Our agency will try its best to arrange it but cannot guarantee it. We ask for your understanding.
