And I’m not just talking about the travel arrangements. She also helped me with all the visas, practical necessities, advice about money and health recommendations to make sure I could travel safely and with peace of mind. She also helped me extend my trip to include Nepal in addition to Tibet, and that part of the journey was organised brilliantly as well.
I had an amazing experience from start to finish, with absolutely no problems of any kind. It was a truly wonderful trip. Honestly, my only regret is that my time in Tibet lasted just one week, because Tibet deserves much more time.
The quality-to-price ratio was incredible, and I would absolutely recommend Cian Tour to anyone planning a trip to Tibet or Nepal. If you are organising a journey like this, I highly recommend relying on them — they are truly excellent.

The 2 English speaking guides, that were provided(1 for the north and the other for the south) were both local residents of Xinjiang and they were excellent with the information they provided and had local knowledge of eateries we went to. The driver, Wang sifu, was a very helpful, cheerful and a careful driver. In China, drivers are addressed by their surname, and followed by "sifu", it's a respectful way of addressing drivers, and has no martial arts connotations.
Both guides( Karim of Kashgar and Amy of Urumqi) spoke English well and they both bought us, local foods/fruits to experience. The local Hami rock melons were juicy, crunchy and sweet, and the local bread, the naan, fresh from the oven, full of goodness. Eating out in Xinjiang is very affordable especially, when our Aussie dollar get 4.75 renminbi to the A$. Meals were 2-3 thousand years of recorded history. The Silk Road carried both material goods as well as great human thoughts and ideation. The flow was bi-directional. Visiting many of the old ruins and sites, evoked very strong emotions and we marvelled at mankind's ingenuity. The flow of religions along the Silk Road was amply demonstrated at many of the sites visited.
We felt safe in Xinjiang and there is no overt display of religiosity.
With regard to the China Xian Tour company, we have booked a 2nd trip for 19 days of Ancient China Silk Road or mid October, this too was organised through Sophia.

She also chose a fantastic restaurant for lunch, and the food was delicious. What impressed us most was how well she engaged our children—they thoroughly enjoyed the tour and stayed interested throughout the entire day!

Our guide was Britany who would be the best guide we have ever had on our many travels. She spoke perfect and clear English and was always available to help. She helped us get through air ports and railway stations, shopping, and banks. One sick person she took to the doctors and then the hospital and stayed with him.
She was incredibly knowledgable and very well organised. Her timing helped us to visit many places before the crowds arrived.
I would thoroughly recommend this tour as it covered a large section of China and included places in Tibet.

Noble was my tour guide, and Liu Jun was our driver. Noble made sure that I saw everything that I wanted to (I happen to be interested in far off Taoist temples and Buddhist shrines), and he was very knowledgeable about Chinese culture and history. Liu Jun was an exceptional driver, seamlessly navigating the chaotic Xian streets with ease and efficiency.
I highly recommend this company, and am already plotting my next excursion with them.

The car provided was super comfortable for our family and the drivers in each city was amazing. They knew exactly how to navigate through the chaos and our family felt safe throughout the trip.

Halal food is not an issue as it can be found mostly at the tourists centre and ofcourse at the Masjid @ Mosque area too. The delicious beef & Yak meat cooked nicely and overall the meal is not pricey at all.
The Muslim Tour Guide, Mr.Ibrahim Ma has showed us the masjid in the village and in Kunming city as well.
We were also amazed by the Stone Forest, Bend of the Yangtze River, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Naphai Lake, and the spectacular Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Ofcourse other places are quite interesting especially the old city and villages where my kids had a chance to rent Costumes of a different ethnic.
Overall, we enjoyed very much this Tour although some places need a long walk as we are in our 60s but honestly, the planning to go up to ShangriLa then coming down to Lijiang was a good idea as we explored a lot of new adventures.
Thanks so much to Ms.Maxie Yang from China Xian Tour who had arranged our trip nicely & a memorable ones. We definitely remember China as Xian Tour! Thank you again!
