Rated 5 out of 5 stars North Xinjiang from Urumqi to Ili in 8 days

Cecilia planned our North Xinjiang 8-day experience. The experience was excellent. Although the trip was brief, my grassland experience was fulfilled. We visited DuShanZi, Naraty grassland, Karajun grassland, and Sayram Lake along the way. We had an amicable English speaking Tour guide from Urimqi. This was our second trip that was planned by Cecilia. I provided my dates and accommodation choices and she organised the trip for us. Both trips were memorable. For this trip, I asked for a mixture of hotel and grassland accommodations. The home stay and capsule cabin selections were delightful. I would recommend Cecilia to my colleagues and friends who might want to have individual customised tours in China.

If there was a rating on various parameters , we would without any hesitation give full marks to Asian odyssey on all counts . The efforts they take to plan the trip taking into consideration all your preferences is exemplary . Here I would like to make a special mention of Kristen ( our relationship manager ) who was not so patient in our planning ( answering all our queries so diligently and promptly ) , the costing of the trip etc . What was unique and praiseworthy was the constant hand holding by Kristen right thru the trip despite the fact that we had competent guides at all places . This gave us so much comfort . And now especially for us vegetarians who were scared by everyone that vegetarian food will be a challenge in China - the local guides under advise from Kristen ensured that we not only got our vegetarian food but one of the most delectable Chinese fare we have had so far . And I would like to end by also mentioning the small gestures, accommodating last minute requests ( often complimentary ) was so appreciable . Our next trip anywhere in Asia is certainly going to be with Asian Odyssey
