💬 [Real Tourist Reviews]💬
“Mr. and Mrs. Li from Beijing: We joined the September Kanas small group. Guide Xiao Wang prepared cold-weather clothing for us in advance, and when it suddenly rained at the Fish Watching Terrace, he immediately took out spare raincoats. The biggest surprise was that in Hemu Village, a Tuvan elder was arranged to teach us how to make milk curd, an in-depth experience that independent travel cannot provide.”
“Ms. Zhang from Shanghai:I joined the Ili Loop with my parents. The travel agency specially arranged low-floor rooms and reminded us of medication times throughout the trip. When the temperature suddenly dropped at Nalati Grassland, the guide immediately contacted the vehicle fleet to send down jackets. This kind of service detail is touching.”
