Magnificent Taklamakan Desert

West China/Tibet Trip. Silk Road. My trip from Kashgar to Xian and into Tibet was seamless thanks to Adi and his team at West China Expeditions. After traveling extensively over the last 55 years I am at an age when I enjoy a good moan, however, there was nothing on this journey which hadn't been anticipated by Adi and dealt with. Transport and hotels were first class and trip highlights numerous throughout the four weeks. I spent a few days in Beijing before taking the trans-Siberian train into Mongolia (freezing in late November). Again this was all superbly arranged through West China and their partners. Many thanks to Adi and his team for their advice, organization and companionship which made this trip so memorable.

Service beyond expected. Booked a 10-day silk route tour with Adi, starting in Xi’an and ending in Xinjiang. Adi was really great and efficient at organizing the trip. He brought us around in Turpan and Urumqi himself and went beyond expectations to cater to our every needs. He was honest and sincere in sharing with us his culture while making sure we were as comfortable as possible. His affiliates in the other cities that brought us around were amazing as well, and we felt really taken care of by them. Would definitely recommend his services.

A great visit, comfortable car, understand clients’ needs We use West China Expeditions for our whole trip in Xinjiang. In order to understand xinjiang better, Adilijan added xinjiang museum to the itinary so that we can have a better understanding of the area and ethic minorities in this region. We really appreciate Adiljan being accomodative abd added things to the itinary without charge like Red Hill in Urumqi, theatre near Urumuqi. This have really enhanced our overall experience of this visit.

One of the most important thing for any tour guide is the ability to engage and know their clients. As a frequent business and social traveler, I would like to be engaged and felt welcome in a foreign land. It was our last day after 10 days of road trip. It was a nice gesture and we appreciated it. I would recommend West China Expeditions to anyone travelling to China’s northwest and beyond. Do give this company your support as you have an insightful guide and someone whom you would feel comfortable to be with!

Are you thinking of wending your way through the far west of China? If so, we can wholeheartedly endorse Adiljan as a knowledgeable, understanding and resourceful professional. We used his services for about 10 days and he showed us many fascinating and several wondrous sights. Adiljan quickly saw that we were fairly well informed travelers who eschewed air travel for the more immersive (and bumpy!) style of going by car. We were very inquisitive and impressed with his encyclopedic knowledge and remarkably clear explanations.
