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. |
