Private Customized die Seidenstraße Tour

I booked a 2 day solo tour of Dunhuang with Steven only to have my plans impacted by a recent COVID outbreak in the region. I cannot recommend this tour or his services more highly! In a rapidly changing situation, Steven helped me figure out plans for onward travel and even followed up to make sure I arrived safe and sound. Even though in the end I only got to see the city and its sights for one day, it was more than worth it for the insight, historical knowledge and convenience he brought to the experience. Mogao Caves were more than worth the trip out west!

With the distances between points of interest across Gansu (Lanzhou, Zhangye, Dunhuang), and only 5 days to cover it, Steven’s services were indispensable. Ease of travel Mixing high speed train and shuttle we were saving time and traveled comfortably on long legs, while not having to worry about how to get around locally. English speaking Although Gansu’s sites are gaining traction with foreign tourists for a long time, English speaking guides are still rare. Especially if non of you is Chinese speaking, Steven will help out with briefing you on the context and getting you around. Familiar with places You are sure to get the authentic dishes, value for your money in hotels, and a quick fix to ideas that pop up. Plus, Steven is a comfortable person to have around.

We did a super condensed 3 day custom tour of Gansu Province. As foreigners, we were concerned about the impact of coronavirus travel changes to our trip. Our guide Steven ensured everything was smooth and effortless. We never had to line up for tickets or worry about where we were going to be picked up. Steven took charge of all communication with hotels, scenic staff, restaurants and transport and was sensitive to our needs I.e. frequent bathroom breaks, constant photo taking, need for coffee. We never felt rushed. We started in Zhangye, and visited both Rainbow Mountain as well as the Pingshanhu geopark. The view was breathtaking. In Dunhuang, we went to the Crescent Moon oasis in the sand dunes and went again next morning to catch the sunrise. The famous Mogao caves were also terrific. The great thing is both of these locations are very close to the city itself and not hard to get to. If you want a customized tour of Gansu, this is would be solid choice.
