Fantastic 5.0
I had a really wonderful day. The landscape is extraordinary, the driver was efficient and lovely and the other guests were fun! I had a bit of trouble working out where I would be picked up because the booking app was unclear but once they let me know that they would pick me up at my hotel everything went very smoothly.

Five-star review! This trip to Gannan exceeded expectations. The itinerary was well-paced, providing ample time to slowly explore Labrang Monastery, listen to the explanations, and learn about Tibetan Buddhism and local customs. The tour leader and driver were very familiar with the area, thoughtfully reminding us of monastery etiquette and high-altitude precautions, and even recommended local specialties so we got to try authentic tsampa. The entire trip was sightseeing-focused with no shopping stops and no hidden fees. Along the way, taking in the grasslands and ancient monasteries while experiencing Gannan's unique tranquility and healing atmosphere made the journey very reassuring. I've already recommended this to my friends, and I'll choose this agency again next time I visit Gannan!

This trip was very good. Both places were beautiful. The driver was skillful, careful, and very good company. It was a long day but we saw two spectacular and different landscapes that showcase the diversity of China

My friend and I traveled around Gansu and Qinghai by hiring a car with a driver through Klook. Everything was well-organized. Driver Liu was very kind, attentive, and had great driving skills. Highly recommended.

Great 4.0
amazing views and itinerary. hotels planned were good too. guide (曹师傅)was caring and ensured that we were taken cared of, he had to drive very far between places because this itinerary covers a lot in 5 days. would recommend this tour for those who want to cover the silk road with a personal guide!

our 6-day luxury tour is really a memorable one. 5-star accomodations, convenient locations, excellent hospitality and wonderful experience. Throughout the 6 days, we had a private driver, also our trip manager Ms. Fei-er, a capable lady who is knowledable, professional and understanding. She planned everthing well that made this route which supposed to be tiring, became more relaxing and enjoyable. Although the package did not cover most of the meals (except for the standard hotel breakfast), she made nice recommendations on food as well. cheap price, local taste, delicious food.

The hotel restaurant is on the 52nd floor and offers stunning city views. Louis, who checked us in at the front desk, was very friendly and kind, making our stay much more pleasant. The room was quiet and clean, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The only downside was that the pool was under renovation, so we missed the chance to experience it.
