Many tourists who have experienced the service have given positive feedback:
Feedback from Mr. Chen from Shanghai and his group of 3: We just finished an 8-day Altay Ring Route trip. From the desert scenery along the S21 Highway to the morning mist at Hemu, from the Three Bays hike at Kanas to the sunset at Ghost City, the scenery along the way was even more stunning than what I saw in my research. Our driver, Master Wang, has been running this route for nearly ten years. He knew many less-crowded photo spots and proactively took lots of group photos for us. We all loved the aerial panorama of Hemu he shot with the drone. There were no shopping stops the entire way, and when we wanted to stay an extra half hour at Sayram Lake, he readily agreed. The whole trip was very relaxing.

✅ Vehicles and quality? All vehicles used on every itinerary are 7-seat commercial vehicles with proper tourism operating licenses. Different 7-seat models are assigned based on the tour type — for example, tours on rugged routes are equipped with commercial models suited to complex road conditions, while tours on standard city ring routes are equipped with more comfortable commercial models. Seats are rotated periodically during the trip to ensure every tourist can sit in their preferred position. Drivers’ meals and accommodation are not borne by tourists, as these costs are already included in the tour fee. Feedback from Ms. Li from Chengdu: I signed up solo for the 7-day Ili small group tour. Everyone in the group was a woman around my age, and we hit it off well. The hotels were all quite clean, and the driver recommended local specialties at dining stops along the way — no pitfalls. I was worried about inconveniences traveling solo, but this experience had none at all. Next time I come to Xinjiang, I’ll book with them again.
Feedback from Ms. Ouyang from Guangzhou: I just finished a nine-day Southern Xinjiang trip. From the vibrant atmosphere of Kashgar Old City to the grandeur of the Pamir Plateau, from the vastness of the Taklamakan Desert to the magnificent vistas of Tomur Canyon, the scenery along the way was picturesque — and what truly brought it to life was our driver, Sima Yigong. Nine days together, from initial unfamiliarity to endless conversations, he was not just our driver but also our “living map” and “know-it-all” in Xinjiang. His driving was steady, and he handled rough roads with ease.
Finally, back to the price question everyone cares about most. In 2026, the cost reference range for a 10-day 6-person carpool small group tour in Xinjiang is 7,000 to 13,000 RMB per person. The specific price is affected by travel season, accommodation standards, and the specific route. For example, during non-peak periods like April-May and late September to mid-October, prices are relatively lower, while during peak periods like July-August summer vacation and National Day holiday, prices will fluctuate to some extent.
Generally, the tour fee already includes the use of a licensed 7-seat commercial vehicle, driver service fees, full accommodation costs, first admission tickets to attractions marked in the itinerary, and travel agency liability insurance. Not included are lunch and dinner, personal expenses, and secondary consumption items within scenic areas (such as internal shuttle buses and boat rides). You can use this as a reference based on your budget. Specific prices and available seats are subject to confirmation by customer service and may fluctuate with departure dates. The final cost breakdown and itinerary agreement are subject to the contract signed by both parties.
