A wonderful journey along the Silk Road in Xinjiang. We did the 13-day South Xinjiang Tour from Kashgar to Urumqi. Before booking, Lesley gave us first-class advice and information about the numerous options in Xinjiang. The guide/driver was excellent and really knowledgeable about all the places we visited along the route (3,000+km). He smoothed the way with all the bureaucracy and really made the travelling enjoyable. All in all, we saw so many beautiful diverse things in Xinjiang and had a really amazing holiday. Could not have asked for more from Silk Road Travel.

DO NOT use this tour company if you are not from China. Our experience was nothing but a huge disaster. We ended up paying to literally experience the land on our own and get completely lost and we were not able to enjoy the beauty the rice terraces had to offer. The tour company only gave back half our money after all the struggles we went through and many many emails later.
