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.

Is the daily schedule too rushed? Can I set my own pace?

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.

Is Zhouzhuang Water Town worth visiting?

非常好玩。周庄被誉为“中国第一水乡”，是江南古镇的典范。核心体验是小桥、流水、人家。您可以乘摇橹船穿行于古老的水道，看两岸明清老宅；游览沈厅、张厅，感受富商巨贾的宅院气派；参观双桥（陈逸飞画作中的名桥），拍照非常出片。夜晚的周庄灯火阑珊，少了白天的喧嚣，更显宁静。
