Home / About Us
Welcome to Silk Road Tours

A family-run operator who truly cares

For over 24 years we've excelled at providing the most up-to-date travel information and exceptional service across the entire Silk Road โ€” from Xi'an to Kashgar, and throughout the diverse regions of Xinjiang and Gansu Provinces.

Since the company was established in 2001, we've built a unique reputation among travellers from across the world. We are all locals with a genuine understanding of the life, cultures, customs and history of each ethnic group along the Silk Road, and we hold official tour guide licences valid throughout China.

Guide books including Lonely Planet, Frommer's and China's Central Asia list us among the country's most reliable operators. We have also collaborated on Silk Road documentaries with National Geographic US and Malaysian Television.

Our Specialty

Authentic local experiences

We have local partners in every city along the Silk Road and always use local tour guides. As locals from different parts of Silk Road China, we do our best to arrange your visit to be as close to local life and culture as possible.

A traveller can only understand local life by visiting a local family and tasting the foods of each different ethnic group along the Silk Road. This is the best way to experience native life and culture in a limited time.

Our deep local connections ensure authentic experiences that go beyond typical tourist attractions, creating memories that last a lifetime.
