[Journey to the West Hometown Day Tour] Huai'an, Former Residence of Wu Cheng'en

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.

I don't speak Mandarin, only English. Will I be able to communicate?

聋哑人士：我们提供文字沟通管家（全程打字），且景区内重要通知（如末班船时间）我们会单独发给您文字版。周恩来纪念馆、周恩来故居、淮安府署等景区的导览屏也有字幕。

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.

一天的行程安排会不会很赶？能自己控制节奏吗？

我们的设计理念是“深度体验，拒绝走马观花”。
在行程设计阶段，我们会与您充分沟通您的旅行节奏偏好。行程中的具体节奏完全由您和导游现场把控。如果您在某景点特别感兴趣，可以延长停留时间；如果感到疲惫，也可以跳过非核心景点。我们的导游会灵活调整，不强制打卡。小包团的优势就是您的行程您做主，不用迁就任何人。

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.
