Why book with us
Our promises, in writing
Booking a trip in a country you don’t know takes trust. This is exactly what you can hold us to, and every promise below is part of our booking terms.
A licensed Chinese travel agency
Your contract is with a travel agency licensed in the People’s Republic of China, not a reseller. Our license number is published on every page.
No shopping stops. In writing.
There are no jade factories, silk shops, tea-house “tastings” or commission stops. It’s in our booking terms, and if it ever happens, we refund that day.
The price you see is the price you pay
Every inclusion and exclusion is listed. There’s no compulsory tipping kitty and no surprise local fees.
Hotels that accept foreign passports
Some Chinese hotels still turn away foreign guests. Every hotel we use is checked for foreign-passport registration before your trip.
Tickets that sell out, booked for you
The Forbidden City, the Mogao Caves and holiday bullet trains need advance, ID-linked bookings. We secure them as soon as you reserve.
Small groups, real leaders
Groups are capped at 8–10, never a 30-seat coach, with no more than 4 per vehicle on road trips. The group size and vehicle are written on every journey page. Road leaders speak English, and local guides hold official guide licenses.
Secure payments, flexible booking
You pay through a secure online checkout (PayPal accepts cards, no account needed), never by bank wire to a personal account. Cancel free within 48 hours. If a trip doesn’t run, you get a full refund.
A human on WhatsApp, 24/7 while you travel
From booking to your flight home, you can reach a real person who speaks English, on WhatsApp (which works on international eSIMs and roaming) or on WeChat.
