FAQ

Your questions, answered

Who operates the tours in China?

All ground services are delivered by licensed partner travel agencies in China, with licensed local guides. We design your journey and stay your single point of contact from first message to flight home.

How much does a journey cost?

Every journey is private, so the price depends on your dates, group size, hotel level and route. Send us your plan and we quote within 24 hours. There is no deposit: you pay 80% when you arrive and 20% when your trip ends.

Is this a good choice for a first trip to China?

Yes. Our journeys are designed with first-time visitors in mind. A private car and local guide handle the language, tickets and transfers, so you can go beyond the big cities without the stress.

Will my phone, WhatsApp and Google work?

Many foreign apps are restricted in mainland China. We arrange an international roaming eSIM or local SIM so WhatsApp and maps keep working, and your guide is always reachable.

How does payment work?

Simple: no deposit. You pay 80% once you have arrived in China and the last 20% when your trip ends. Cancelling before you arrive is free.

Can I end my trip early?

Yes, at any time. We refund the days you don't use, less a small 20% fee on those days only. If the reason is on our side, there is no fee at all.

What is included?

Airport pick-up and drop-off, a private car and driver (you choose the vehicle), hotels from our hand-picked list, licensed multilingual guides, meals arranged by us or on your own, 24/7 support, a local gift for every traveller and free photography.

Can I have an Arabic-speaking guide?

Yes. We arrange Arabic-speaking guides, and our team answers in Arabic on WhatsApp.

How far ahead should I book?

Four to eight weeks is ideal. Chinese public holidays (early October and Chinese New Year) need more notice because hotels, trains and mountain cable cars get busy.
