FAQ

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

Solo travelers on this route are provided with a private car service, meaning you will have exclusive use of the vehicle, driver, and guide throughout the trip.
When multiple people book together, the vehicle and guide costs are shared among the group, reducing the per-person cost. As a solo traveler, the fee you pay covers the dedicated vehicle and driver-guide for your exclusive service. This tour is tailored specifically for you, so the service level differs from that of a multi-person group. The price difference reflects the fundamental distinction in service models. For more information, please contact customer service.

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.

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.

这个行程安排合理吗？

两天时间安排这四个景点非常合理，节奏舒适，可以深度体验苏州园林的精华。符合园林游览规律。苏州园林讲究“慢观”，走马观花无法感受移步换景的精妙。两天拆开，每个园林可待足1.5小时以上，不压缩、不催促，真正值回票价。

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.

行程中的七里山塘有什么亮点？

七里山塘是“姑苏第一名街”，主要玩三样：逛古街、品小吃、夜游船。逛青石板路、看白墙黛瓦，参观玉涵堂等古迹；品尝大阿二生煎、荣阳楼油氽团子等老字号小吃；傍晚红灯笼亮起后，乘画舫夜游山塘河，两岸灯火倒映水中，非常出片。

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.
