- FEFiona· September 18th, 2024I had an amazing trip along The Silk Road overlanding with Madventure travelling from Istanbul to Beijing and then onto Chengdu and Tibet. This was a real adventure. The trip gave the group an amazing opportunity to travel along the Silk Road to places I always wanted to visit but would have found it difficult to as a solo traveller. We had an excellent driver, Martin and a great guide Rosanna. We also had local guides who shared lots of information. There were so many highlights, including camping next to the Great Wall of China, staying in hostels in Samarkand and Khiva in Uzbekistan, travelling along the Pamir Highway and staying in yurts in Kryghistan. Rosanna shared information about places of interest, tourist attractions at each of the places we stayed in. There were lots opportunities to visit UNESCO and religious sites in the historic cities where we stayed in hostels and hotels. We camped in the countryside next to lakes and up mountains where we were able to hike to waterfalls and monasteries. We received incredible hospitality from the people we met on ourvjourney including flowers from the locals in Iran. Our truck also attracted attention. This is a trip for people who enjoy camping, staying in hostels as well some amazing hotels in Chima. Expect to spend hours on the back of a truck but it so worth it. You need to be flexible and adaptable and enjoy camp cooking and meeting new people. There were times when we had to dig out the truck, help change the wheel or use other forms of transport when the truck breaks down. However the group always worked together Overlanding for me was a new experience where I cooked a camp meal in the rain in China and then slept in a yurt with twenty of my fellow travellers as it was too wet to pitch our tents ....and everyone loved the food and slept soundly. Character building. Early mornings and long journeys are part of the trip but I extended my trip and travelled on to Tibet which was well worth the visit. We drove over the Tibeaten Plateau on the 318 Highway and stayed in Lhasa and the Tibeaten Everest Base Camp. Overlanding allows budget travellers to visit the amazing towns, cities and UNESCO sites along The Silk Road.Show more

Trip date: July 2024 - AIAmrit· August 17th, 2024Certainly the best overlanding experience of my life. There's complete bonhomie amongst the group members and ever smiling, exuberant Rosanna was always there to cheer us up. No words for Martin, he excellently controlled the vehicle through very dangerous stretches, I give him 20 out of 10 marks! Thank you, Rosanna, Vee, Joy, Jude, Fiona, George, Brian, Zach and Martin for making it a memorable trip. God Bless you all!Show moreMadventure commented on this reviewHi Amrit, Thank you so much for your review - I am soooo pleased you had such an amazing experience with us.

- VLVeronica· August 16th, 2024Fantastic trip - right from the beginning when I signed up for it! The itinerary was realistic and covered everything I wanted to do, the guides/documents answered all my questions, and some, and the overall organization has been spot on. The trip itself was more than I could expect. Rosanna and Martin made sure we were always in the loop on any changes or delays, the accommodation was amaaaazing, and I couldn't have asked for more in terms of the trip and my expectations of it. Definitely recommend Madventure!!Show moreMadventure commented on this reviewHi Veronica, Thank you so much for your lovely review, I'm pleased to hear you had such an amazing trip - I had a great time seeing all of the pictures from your group, whilst I was in the office.
