I travelled with one of this agencies in September this year and they didn't try to tell me where to dine but they did choose all the roads we took and most of our (expensive) accommodation.
I'm not happy with the service of that company because I think they don't have the right government contacts to foresee and prevent administrative problems. We were supposed to do two trips with them (Torugart to Takeshiken and Erenhot to Mohan) and the government cancelled our second trip. The reason there was two trips was that lack of government contacts and foresight. It was Panorama Tours (now they are called Greatway). The guide they assign you could be a nice accommodating guy (ours was) but he is still a government agent and will still BS you into taking whatever road the government wants you to take. He is not there to take you sightseeing, he's there to make sure you go only where they want you to go. |

. I recently got this quote for 4x4 vehicles (4 off) There is no reference for guide or length of time in China, which would normally be added on to the bottom price. We plan to provide our own registered Chinese tour guide (who must be government registered etc) so our time in China could be 1 week or 10 weeks. 6550 US$ is roughly 42,575 RNB (CNY) . . Enter : Kirgystan Torugart pass Exit : Inner Mongolia Eryn Hohhut Price 1. Beijing Inter-provincial Permit : 700US$/per car X 4 car =2800US$ 2. Xinjiang Province Permit : 250US$/ per car X 4 cars=1000US$ 3. Customs entry decelerations : 170US$/per car X 4 cars=680US$ 4.
