About our Tour Service
Most budget tour operators you will be required to spend hours of your day in overpriced tourist shops so they can collect commissions. These stops are usually not on the itinerary and just "come up".
We don't take you on surprise shopping stops. We think more time seeing China is better. Why rush? Its your holiday and you're paying for it. If you do want to shop we can help you find what you want at a fair price. We are at your service, not the other way around. We use local restaurants. We have no hidden costs, such charges for extra drinks at meals, tickets, cable cars and we even give you as much free bottled water as you can drink in your vehicle. We want you healthy and well hydrated! Our western staff are also on call should you have questions at any time during your tour. If you have any health issues we are here to help.
