[Mount Putuo Blessing Tour 3 Days 2 Nights] Hangzhou, West Lake, Mount Putuo

FAQ

Why is the per-person price higher for a solo booking than for a group booking on the same tour?

A solo booking on this route is actually a private car trip. You have exclusive use of the vehicle, driver and guide for the entire journey instead of joining other travelers.
When multiple people book together, the vehicle and guide costs are shared, lowering the per-person cost. For a solo trip, you bear the full cost of the vehicle, guide and accommodation yourself, so the per-person price is higher.
The fee you pay covers dedicated service with your own private car and driver-guide. The service level differs from that of a multi-person group, and the price difference reflects this fundamental difference in service model. Thank you for your understanding.

Why are children charged? How do I choose tickets if I'm unsure about my child's height?

The tour cost includes expenses such as the seat and guide service. These resources are calculated based on the number of travelers, so children must pay their share; bed fees and standard attraction tickets are waived.
If you're unsure about your child's height: select the ticket-free option when booking. Upon arrival at the attraction, your child's actual height will be checked. If they meet the ticketing requirements, you can pay the relevant admission fee on site.

What happens if the weather is bad or an attraction closes unexpectedly?

We have comprehensive contingency plans to ensure your travel experience is not affected.
Early warning: Your guide monitors the weather and attraction announcements daily. In case of severe weather or unexpected closures, they will contact you immediately to adjust the plan.
Backup options: We have pre-designed alternative attractions and activities for every itinerary. For example, if an outdoor site closes due to rain, it can be replaced with a museum, indoor performance, or handicraft workshop.
Force majeure: If extreme weather, natural disasters, or other force majeure events make it impossible to continue the entire trip, we will handle it according to the force majeure clause in your order confirmation and assist you in coordinating refunds or rescheduling with hotels and airlines.
Real-time communication: All adjustments will only be made with your consent. Your safety and experience are always our top priority.

行程安排会不会很赶？能自己控制节奏吗？

Our design philosophy is "in-depth experiences, no rushing around."
During the planning stage, we'll discuss your preferred travel pace. You can choose "compact" (2-3 attractions per day), "comfortable" (1-2 attractions per day with free time), or "relaxed" (main activities concentrated in half a day, with the rest free).
The actual pace during the trip is entirely up to you and your guide. If you're especially interested in a particular spot, you can stay longer; if you're tired, you can skip non-essential sites. Our guides adjust flexibly—no forced check-ins. The advantage of a small private group is that you call the shots, with no need to accommodate anyone else.

Can I choose my own hotels and restaurants during the trip?

Yes. You have full control over your itinerary.
Hotel selection: We provide a recommended list based on your budget and preferences, including international luxury chains, boutique design hotels, and distinctive guesthouses. You can pick from the list or specify your preferred hotel (subject to availability). Once confirmed, we will book and secure the room for you.
Restaurant selection: We offer two options. First, we can recommend well-reviewed local restaurants (no group meals—only independent restaurants). Second, you can choose your own restaurants, and your guide will help with reservations and ordering. If you're a food lover, you can also opt for our "in-depth culinary tour," where a professional food guide takes you to authentic private kitchens or Michelin-starred restaurants.
The final decision on all hotels and restaurants is yours—we simply provide professional advice and booking services.

Why choose a premium group tour with no shopping stops?

Choosing a premium no-shopping group tour means spending your precious time enjoying the scenery rather than sitting in shopping stops.
Standard low-cost tours often cover their costs through forced shopping and hidden fees, cutting into sightseeing time and resulting in a poor experience. A no-shopping tour doesn't visit any designated shops and has no hidden fees, so all your time is spent exploring in depth and listening to your guide, making the itinerary much more relaxed. No-shopping tours also typically provide more professional guides and more comfortable vehicles, ideal for travelers who value quality and want to avoid scams. Spend a little more on the tour fee, and save time and peace of mind.

Can the itinerary be fully customized, or do I have to choose a fixed route?

We offer both fully customized and semi-customized itineraries to suit different needs.
Fully customized: Design your own trip from scratch based on your interests, schedule, and budget. Our travel designers will work with you one-on-one to recommend destinations, hotels, and activities, creating a one-of-a-kind route. Ideal for travelers with clear ideas or special needs (e.g., honeymoons, family trips, photography tours).
Semi-customized: If you'd rather not plan from scratch, pick one of our classic routes as a base and adjust it to your preferences—swap hotels, add or remove attractions, extend your stay in certain places, and more.
