Dear Abdullah and MirAlim Emir, To start with the conclusion: we have had a great trip!! Annelies and I would like to thank the two of you for the very well organised and most interesting, beautiful holiday we had. MirAlim, Auro and Sharleen were very knowledgable, professional and friendly guides in China. We learned a lot about "normal" life apart from what was planned in the tour. We found Yussaf sometimes a bit irritating. Maybe because he was fasting during the Ramadan or he just doesn't like to be with women. Very good that we got our visa for Kyrgistan and that you managed to get us on a public holiday past the border, thank you Abdullah. The guide in Kyrchistan, Talent, was not bad but he did not know about the arrangments. So we paid for our lunch and dinner and the second day the driver dropped us around noon in Osh and left. A bit strange so we had to hire a taxi to move around in Osh. in Uzbekistan we again had a great guide:Kamol. Professional and pleasant: a good guy! We don't have any complaints regarding the hotels, just fine and sometimes very good!. All in all we had a great time.Thank you and we will for sure recommend your company to friends and colleagues. Kind regards, Freek

Hello Abdullah:
I like to thank you again for the perfect organization of our Silk Road tour.
Our China trip was a great success, thanks to your efforts to fulfill our specific wishes but also by the combination of China and Xinjiang. I’ am sure that our China trip wouldn’t be so successful without seeing Xinjiang. Off course we enjoyed the Terracotta army and the walk on the Great Wall, as well as the walk through the beautiful Tuyuk valley and the Thousand Buddha caves, reachable through an extraordinary magnificent landscape.

We just felt like the old adventurers when we strolled by the small streets and market places in the villages around the Taklamakan desert, where we had a lot of contacts with the local people.
Our Silk Road tour was a sublime experience and taste to more. The only thing that left are a lot of superb good memories, hundreds of pictures and 9 hours film.
Many greetings.

We last saw each other in the exceptional new fallen snow in Tourugat Pass in mid July. We are now back home with all our good memories. We like to express our gratitude towards you for excellent assistance and guiding throughout our 10 days touring all Xinjiang and even to your excellent driver mr Ho. We can recommend you and your company for a well planned and organized tour with excellent logsitics towards our needed partners in Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.

Please do tell if you like some photos from different local markets etc.
Hope your marriage plans are succeding and that you sooner or later can see the real ocean together with your upcoming wife not only the few rest of waters we discovered south of Turpan on the predictet second lowest part of the world.
Hope to use your services again. Perhaps we should go together from Beijing through Xian and Lhasa back to Everest Camp together?
Yours sincerly Bente & Per.

Dear Silk Road Adventures
We are back in US right now and still trying to recover from jet lag and get back to normal lives. And that's proving difficult after all the fun and excitement we've experienced in China.
We'll like to take this opportunity to thank Silk Road Adventures for organizing and planning the trip. It has been a wonderful experience for us, a right mix of cultural exposure and adventure. When we first started planning for this trip, we have many

worries. We worried about the efficiency and honesty of the people (we heard many horror stories of guides extorting / bribing money from tourists etc.); we were worried about the cleanliness of the food; we were worried about state of the accommodation, but all these to naught. We were met at the airports / train stations as detailed in our itinerary, our guides bargained for better prices for us when we were purchasing items at places where language is a barrier; food was sumptious and none of us got sick because of it; in fact, when they realized we wish to taste local food, the guides went out all the way to prepare food they think we'll enjoy and the hotels were clean and service was pleasant. Overall, it was a thoroughly pleasant experience.
All our guides have been wonderful and accommodating to all our various needs and went out of their way to ensure our comfort and enjoyment, for example, our guide in Lanzhou guide, Megan, who took us to a Tibetian festival that's not on the itinerary. They share with us, not only factoids about tourist sights we are visiting, but also gave us an insight about life in China and shared their personal thoughts and feelings. They treated us not just as clients, but as friends and we really appreciated that. It is people like them who we meet along the way that makes the trip so special.
We will be glad to recommend your company to others who are considering
a journey along the ancient Silk Road. We are still in the process of compiling our photos for the trip and will share these with you once they are done. Many thanks for this wonderful trip.
Best regards
KC, Jenny, Rosa, Kevin

Hello,
I recently took a bicycle tour of Xinjiang with your company. Mohammed Ali was the guide. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip, and Mohammed was an excellent guide. Mohammed was very skilled, excellent at solving problems that arose, and a very interesting person to talk with. He was very knowledgeable, so I was able to learn a lot. Learning about the history and customs of an area and people make a trip much more interesting than just seeing the sights.

Again, I enjoyed the trip and hope to take another one at some point.
Regards Carter Cromwell

Dear Mr. Adbullah Khaliq,
By this formal letter I want to express all my satisfaction for the very good services offered us during our latest visit of Xinjiang in September 2007. Furthermore the cost effectiveness of the tour was really outstanding.
Here is the list of the hotels that we have used during our visit. They were all O.K., since I asked for 3 stars standard ones, and you instead offered a higher level. The scoring goes from 1 (very Bad) to 10 (excellent).

Tashkurgan—Pamir Hotel, good (7); Kashgar--World Plasa Yambu Hotel, excellent in any way (10); Aksu--lnternational Hotel, very good (9); Kucha--Kuche hotel, very good (8); Turpan--Grand Turpan hotel, very good (9) ; Dunhuang--Silk Road hotel, cozy , clean and quiet little hotel (this is really the standard of hotels I had originally in mind!) ,(8); Lanzhou--Sun hotel, excellent in any way (10).

From the stand point of the guide(s) , here are the comments of the group:Mohemmed All: good guide, intelligent, proactive, flexible; however his English has to be improved. Olando in Dunhuang: poor guide in any way, her English is totally insufficient. Jiang Bin (Roy) in Lanzhou, excellent guide, intelligent, proactive, flexible, and with good English.
I hope to have further contacts with you; until them receive on behalf of my whole group.
Our best congratulations and thanks
Riccardo Marmi di Villafranca Via
