The same answer does not apply to every ChinaTourly journey

Signature Journeys are curated 4-10 traveler small-group routes. Luxury and Bespoke products have their own format and service scope. Prices can vary by date, party size, rooming, season, and inclusions.

Use the written proposal for the confirmed route, total, payment schedule, contracting party, and cancellation terms.

Frequently asked questions

Answers based on the specific booking context.

Are all products the same price on desktop and mobile?

They use the same Shopify product and pricing data. The amount shown in a button and bill summary should match the selected date, party size, and payment option.

What happens when fewer than four people book a Signature Journey?

The traveler may be offered an alternative date, a private supplement, or a small price adjustment. The option must be stated before payment.

Can you handle dietary or mobility needs?

Tell the planner before proposal. Feasibility and any added cost depend on route and suppliers and should be confirmed in writing.

Do I need travel insurance?

Travel insurance is strongly recommended. Review medical, cancellation, evacuation, and activity exclusions for the booked route.

Can I change the route during travel?

Minor pacing changes may be possible. Material routing changes depend on availability and can create additional cost. Use the named contact in your documents.

How do Tibet permits work?

Foreign visitors require permit-compliant arrangements through an eligible local operator. Lead times and current rules must be reconfirmed for the travel date.
