Our Customer Reviews

This was one of our best holidays, a Silk Road private tour. Lesley took great care in accommodating our requests at the planning stage and always responded to emails promptly. We had a rather complicated itinerary, with 7 stops, as many different hotels, 6 high speed train journeys, all in 10 days, and with 5 different sets of Guide and Driver. Everything worked like clockwork. Excellent choice of itinerary, great hotels and very helpful and experienced guides and drivers The price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend booking private Silk Road tours with this company.

I have been using the services of XINJIANG CHINA INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL AGENCY several times between 2010 and 2014. The places I wanted to visit are the famous grottoes of the Turfan area (Kyzil, Besäklik, Komtura etc.) with their Buddhist paintings, the “sand buried cities”, as well the Buddhist monasteries in DunHuang, and along the yellow River until Xian.

Lesley the CEO of CITA and my guide, Aisha, have been extremely helpful, very well organized and willing to adapt to my travel plans, which covered many places of difficult access and accommodation; I specially appreciated their ability to come up with alternative routes and places to visit when some local events required sudden changes to the plans;

I can therefor highly recommend their services to anyone who wants to discover the many hidden or less known places along both legs of Xinjian part of the Silkroad from Kashgar to Xian.

My partner and I were planning a trip to Silk Road. We inquired with a half dozen companies and decided on joining private tours with Lesley. She helped us designed a customized itinerary that was exactly what we need. Each of the stops we had amazing English speaking tour guides that were informative, friendly, professional and went out of their way to cater to an amazing experience. The vans were comfortable and safe. During the entire journey, we felt we were well taken care of and had the most amazing time. Lesley also been extremely communicative with emails before as well as during the trip. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy the beauty of Silk Road in a private tour where you can cater your interests.

We had an excellent trip visiting Xinjiang, Gansu, Shaanxi and Henan. I had organized a private tour with English speaking tour guides. We were 18 of old friends from Canada, the U.S. and the Philippines. Our Silk Road trip started on Oct 11 -22 from Urumqi n ended in Luoyang. The trip was arranged by Lesley Lee -Travel Director of Xinjiang China Int'l Travel Co Ltd. The itinerary, hotel accommodations and meals were very nicely done. All our tour guides were very knowledgeable, young, vibrant and extremely pleasant. It was a hectic schedules but a very enjoyable trip. All of us had a great time. Thanks to Lesley Lee for such a responsible, accommodating n helpful travel director. 
We would highly recommend her services should you be interested to visit Silk Road.

The Silk Road tour you organised was every thing I wanted. It covered the main attractions of the route we chose, and the hotels were also very nice.
The tour guides are all very friendly and knowledgeable, and hope to meet them in the future.

We had a superb time, thanks entirely to Lesley, her arrangements, and hand holding when we needed it. The hotels, vehicles, drivers, guides, sights she picked were spot on. My wife had the time of her life - an unforgettable adventure. On several other occasions too Lesley either answered the phone right away or called back within 5 minutes. For us this support was critical in having a trip to remember! 

I'm not a very forgiving reviewer, but for these guys I feel like rewarding a 10, not just a 5!

Beautiful trip. We had a nice group eager to discover this magnificent area and had multiple and excellent guides and drivers.

My group of 12, mainly seniors had a most rewarding time covering North Xinjiang,Turpan and Kashgar in October 2017. The tour was fine tuned by Lesley of Xinjiang travels. She not only did a fine job in arranging what we wanted to see, but added great suggestions and additional side trips to complete our appreciation of this marvelous part of China.Thank you again Lesley for the outstanding service. 

My husband and I booked a private tour of Western China from Dunhuang to Kashgar- Tax Korgan. It was a wonderful trip, interesting sights, great tour guides and beautiful scenery. Everything part of the trip was taken care of and we felt we got the best treatment for our money. I would highly recommend China Silk Road Travel.
