Hi Rita

Thanks for tickets. Good hotel, wonderful tour guide. On our way now to Heavenly Lake.Akmet was a fantastic guide for us in Turpan. His English was perfect. And his knowledge was outstanding. We have had the most wonderful holiday. The tour guides have been fantastic. Especially Sadik in kashgar. All 3 were very professional and knowledgeable. Our experience in xinjiang has been the best we have hadn't in China. So, thank you for our tour of xinjiang.

Trip to Urumqi, Turpan, Kashgar and Tashkurgan. Had a fantastic 11 day tour of Xinjiang Province. Wonderful local guides who were extremely knowledgeable about their areas. Breathtaking scenary wherever we went, especially the road trip to Tashkurgan! Would definately return to Xinjiang and go to many more places that we haven’t visited.

Hi Tracy!

Kunming and Pu'er were very nice. The hotels were good and somehow individual. Coffee and Tea plant age very interesting (tour/explanation could have been more in detail and much longer). Rice terraces good to see. We did some hiking, which was very good. The places for visiting sunrise / sunset not to be recommended - not special and much too crowded. Xishuangbana: elephants valley was interesting. The villages, zoo, king palace was from my point of view not to be recommended. Too touristic / standard program, nothing special. Here I would have liked something more individual, more nature, more culture and real history... The same for the hotel in Xishuangbana - this was not to be recommended.

The driver and guide, both have been very good! Organisation also very good.

Good morning Wonder!

You did a great job assisting and always got back to me in time with questions and queries. Also, you were available during my holiday as well. I contacted you over possible flight changes and gave some great advice that helped me save a lot of money. So all in all I am very happy with the service I got.
