- Lily· September 24th, 2019Ben the booking agent was extremely attentive and quick to respond to all my requests and concerns. The guides were excellent, The meals at local restaurants very excellent. Meals at tourist restaurants were not marginal. The hotels were clean, The customer service at the hotels for the price was marginal. The staff did not speak English, never helped with the luggage, we had to call for toilet paper, they did not know what an iron was and then said they did not have irons at a 4-5 star hotel.Show moreSilk Road Trips commented on this reviewThanks for your comments, and glad you enjoyed the tour on the ancient Silk Road.Trip date: August 2019
