What you can check on this site
Private, always
Your vehicle, your guide, your pace. We do not pool travellers or sell seats on a coach.
Every fact has a source
Each guide and destination page lists the pages we read and the date we checked them. If we could not verify something, we left it out.
Dated entry rules
Our Live Shanghai pages give the date we read each official notice, and say plainly when a source is more than a year old.
Unhurried by design
We plan each day around two or three stops, so the famous places are seen at a walking pace.
Written quotes
We quote in writing once we know your dates, group size and hotels. Each tour shows an estimated “from” price, and the final price is confirmed in writing.
Human replies
A specialist replies within 12 hours by email or WhatsApp.
