Our one-week trip to Xinjiang with them was absolutely amazing. ✨ We explored some of the most stunning places in the region, from the breathtaking landscapes to the lively local markets and mountains, and everything was perfectly organized. Our driver was fantastic: super kind, attentive, and always on time. He made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire journey, even during the long drives. 🚙💨 The itinerary was beautifully curated, combining nature, culture, and photography in the best possible way. You can tell the agency really knows the area and cares deeply about creating meaningful travel experiences. I’d totally recommend them to anyone wanting to discover the authentic beauty of Xinjiang, effortlessly and with a personal touch. 🌄💛

It was a fabulous trip! Everything was thought out very well from the begining and proportionitly planned for each day during the entire tour. It was professionally designed and well thought. It covered everything on Karakoram higway. Baisha lake Karakul mountain Murtaz Ata glacier khunjerab pass panlong ancient road..so many to name. The driver and the tour operator try their best for their guests to have the best time possible. It is a professional, reliable and local tour company. They never leave you out in the dark. Always attentive and very organized. You can easily communicate with them and they make sure of your well being. I enjoyed my time. I can recommend this company 100%.

Signed up for a three-day trip to Pamir Plateau with Xinjiang Highlights, and I am glad I chose them for my exploration of the region. The tour guide/driver, Zheng, was extremely helpful and a smart person, making my trip a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Xinjiang Highlights for exploring Pamir Plateau because of the amazing experience I had with them.

We were able to book this trip with Xinjiang Highlights even with such short notice as recommended by Tudajim our eventual guide. This was an excellent experience for us. Tudajim is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, nice, friendly, same with our driver. The Red Mountain, Sand Mountain are sights to behold as well as the Karakul Lake. We want to go back with our children.

Tudajim accompanied us on our last few days in Xinjiang. This was in oct 2019. We departed fromkashgar to tashkurgan where we spent a night. On the way we stopped by opal village , karakul lakeand bulunkou lake. Tudaim was super friendly to talk to. Very adventurous and accomodating.especially with our photo taking requests. He is knowlegeable about local culture & history. He canalso speak english fluently, which is a plus for us ! The drive to tashkurgan was smooth, no problemsalong the way. We got to try yak meat for the first time near bulunkou lake. On our last night, he took usto the Kashgar night market for dinner where we got to sample delicious local street food What agreat way to end our xinjiang trip ! Overall we are happy with his service ,10/10 would recommend ( Originally posted on TripAdvisor. See full review screenshot for verification.)

We did a two day Karakoram tour with Tudajim as our English guide in Sep 2018. The driver and Tudajim were really fun and energetic which made our l6hr car ride so much more enjoyable. T is fluent inEnglish and helped sort out the multiple security checks and shared interesting tales and jokes of thehighway. They knew exactly the best spot for a scenic picture and eager to bring us to authentic locaeateries and food stals. We stayed at Crown Inn, the best hotel at Tashkorgan and knowing it's my fiancé's birthday through his passport, the hotel even provided a full birthday cake for him! Overall, the tour was surprisingly relaxing, flexible and Tudaim was very earnest and genuine, bringingus to exactly where we like to see instead of the typical touristy spots. Not to mention, the views alongthe highway is one of a kind. ( Originally posted on TripAdvisor. See full review screenshot for verification.)

Our family had a superb, five-day visit to Kashgar, the Karakoram Highway, and Tashkurgan led byTudalim in October 2019. Tudajim and Enver (our driver) were both superb hosts " pointing out the widevariety of sites, taking us to excellent restaurants, taking us to the livestock market, knowing where tostop for photos, and talking with us about life in the region. They knew when to be with us and when topoint us on our own. We all (including Tudajim) had a great time bicycling down to Karakul Lake enroute back from Tashkurgan. We appreciated Enver teaching us some 'conversational' Uighur.Tudajim's personal warmth and most enjoyable sense of humor made our time in the region both very informative and most enjoyable. We recommend Tudajim most highly. ( Originally posted on TripAdvisor. See full review screenshot for verification.)

The trip stil leaves an impact to me until today! Thank you Tudajim for making us understand Xinjiang more, for the warmest hospitality, and the great service overall. Karakoram was beautiful but there's something about Kashgar that makes me miss it everyday, and look forward to coming back. Tudajim is from Kashgar, so l definitely trust him as the right person to show me around. ( Originally posted on TripAdvisor. See full review screenshot for verification.)

Tudajim was the ultimate guide on our wonderful winter adventure as first timers to Xinjiang.l have somany memories from this trip! We visited the Old City of Kashgar, historical mosques and tea houses,shopped for saffron, scarves and spices at bustling markets, experienced delicious Uighur cuisine including traditional naan bread, saffron tea, lamb noodle dishes, and even freshly baked meatpastries at the livestock market (which was an experience in itself! We covered quite some ground during the trip and visited the Taklamakan desert with Bactrian camels. The most memorable was travelling to Shipton's arch. We trekked through the snow, up the narrow ladder, and ascended the snowy slope. Tudajim was very encouraging that we climb to the very top for the stunning view, and although it was somewhat challenging " it was absolutely worth it! Thank you!!

We had a great trip to Kashgar and Tashkurgen with Todajim as our guide as Ablimit as our driver. It was one of the most memorable trips in china and one of the most beautiful places we have seen so far. TJ is very professional, speaks fluent english , pleasant ,flexible and very understanding of his customers needs. He pointed all the good photo spots , recommended hidden eating places and was willing to adjust schedule as we requested. We would gladly recommend him for Kashgar and xinjiang travel. All the best TJ. ( Originally posted on TripAdvisor. See full review screenshot for verification.)

Fantastic travel agency and the place to go for English speaking help. Tudaji is local Uygur yet speaks perfect English and other languages as well. He arranged a trip to Tushkorgan and Khunjerab Pass. Price was reasonable, accomdations in Tushkorgan were excellent, excellent vehicle and my driver Ali was superb. Trip was marred though by being prevented to go the last few kilometers to Khunjerab Pass as I was a foreigner. Horribly disappointing but the rest of the trip was fantastic. We did get an amazing view of the K2 mountain though. ( Originally posted on TripAdvisor. See full review screenshot for verification.)

First I want to thank Kashgar Travel Agency, the trip 2 days from Kashgar was very beautiful if you love mountains. Some landscape looks Ladakh in India. First day, we went to Tashkurgan, stop amazing lake and in the end of day visit the ancient uygur city near Tashkurgan. In this end of december, all lakes are frozen, you can walk on, very amazing.The second day, we let the main road to go further inside mountain until 4200meters, and then visiting other places and lake. It's really very beautiful. Hotel in Tashkurgan is nice, they have oxygen in case of, everything is well organized. And the mean point, you can not do by yourself, even in bus because the bus follow the mean road. It's rare i give a comment, but it deserve it. this december temperature around -15oC, with good clothes no problem. ( Originally posted on TripAdvisor. See full review screenshot for verification.)

Xinjiang is huge with most people either picking to do southern or northern Xinjiang on a 10-14 day trip. We picked southern Xinjiang for 10 days but an additional 2 days would have been good. The scenery is spectacular. The guide Tudajim and driver Murad were always attentive, helpful and fun. The car was honestly the best touring vehicle I’ve ever been in and I’ve been in a lot. I would highly recommend them and plan to use them again when we go to Northern Xinjiang.

For adventurous travelers who like to get of the beaten track and are looking for aonce-in-a-ifetime experience, Tudajim is everything you need to have a great time in andaround Kashgar. Very professional, very good English skills, is able to give you a thoroughinsight in the lives of local Uighur people and Muslim traditions as a whole.In short, we had a wonderful time while traveling around Kashgar and all thanks to our greattour guide Tudajim. Best pick for international travelers visiting the region. Diederik Damen (Dutch tourist), visited Kashgar in 2008 ( Originally posted on LinkedIn. See full review screenshot for verification.)

Tudajim organised and led a memorable tour of Kashgar and the surrounding area for meand my husband in 2009. He was just what you'd hope for in a guide: consistently friendly,efficient, flexible, well-informed, tactful and resourceful. We enjoyed his company (he has agood sense of humour) and had confdence in his judgement. l would highly recommend Tudajim to anyone who wants an informal yet professional guide to a fascinating region.

Tudajim is the tour operator/agent/guide that I want to find in every country/city that I visit. He has a winning combination of efficiency, punctuality, compassion and expertise that is rarely found in the front lines - provider level -- of tour operation. I would, and have, recommended his services to other travelers. Tudajim made my trip both a present joy and a future favorite memory. My trip from Kashgar to Tashkurgan with intermediate stops in the vast wilderness near Mt. Muhstagata included an overnight stay in a yurt with a Tajik family of herders. The arrangements for such a trip are far from simple and Tudajim handled everything with aplomb. One of our group members got sick and he arranged for her to stay in a comfortable hotel in Tashkurgan -- he, personally, stayed with her - while the other members of the party and the very capable driver kept to the original tinerary. Even from his remote location, he was able to orchestrate and meet all of our needs in the deep, desolate mountain region. I was amazed at his competency and careful handling of this unanticipated development. Our transportation,photo opportunites, meals, accommodations and interesting information about local customs ad local people were all provided with graciousness and the utmost Uyghur hospitality.Tudajim style. We even saw one of the filming locations of The Kite Runner." No detail was left unmet. Given an opportunity to re-visit Xinjiang Province, I would rush to find Tudajim and simply put myself AND MY CREDIT CARD at his disposal, followed by this dlirective: "Take me on new adventures to some more fantastic places and be quick about it !"

We had an excellent experience with Aji in Kashgar. As a native and a Uighur, he is very knowledgeable about the area, its attractions, social customs and politics. He took us on an amazing walking tour of the old city and to several other local attractions. He also arranged a wonderful three day trip to Karacol Lake with another Uighur friend and a driver. Aji speaks very good English and is very personable - a great guide. ( Originally posted on LinkedIn. See full review screenshot for verification.)

My wife and I were very reluctant to hire a guide for our trip to Xinjiang, but This agency quickly put us at ease. He did a fantastic job of showing us what we wanted to see, helping us avoid things that we did not want to see, and take us amazing places it would have never occurred to us to go. While nothing could change my mind about traveling on my own vs. hiring a guide in general, I can say with certainty that I would contact Tudajim again if I was going to be back in Xinjiang and highly recommend him to anyone else considering the trip.

I had the great pleasure of hiring Tudajim in relation to his expertise in history and culture surrounding the Xinjiang province of China. The five days I spent with Tudajim was rewarding and he was able to communicate effectively and provided a wealth of knowledge that you don't often find in a tour guide. Tudajim I believe with the right opportunities would be an asset to any business/company seeking a motivated young professional to hire for a related field. ( Originally posted on LinkedIn.
