Questions

Common Inquiries

How do you differ from standard travel agencies?

We operate as travel designers, not tour sellers. Each journey is crafted individually, with no pre-set packages or group constraints. Our focus is on private, personalized experiences led by genuine local experts.

What is included in your pricing?

All accommodations, private transportation, attraction admissions, and expert guiding. International flights, visa fees, personal expenses, and gratuities are additional.

May we combine multiple routes?

Certainly. Our routes are modular by design. Most clients select 2 routes for 7-10 days, or 3-4 routes for comprehensive 15-day explorations.

Do your guides speak English?

All guides are bilingual professionals who serve as both cultural interpreters and travel companions, handling translations, dining recommendations, and any logistical needs.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept major credit cards, PayPal, Alipay, and WeChat Pay. A 50% deposit confirms your reservation, with the balance due prior to departure.

Is a visa required for Sichuan?

Citizens of 53 countries may enter visa-free for up to 144 hours (6 days) when flying into Chengdu. For longer stays, standard Chinese visas apply.
