The above private guided tour is tailored for you, your family or your friends exclusively. No other participants will be in your group. In other words, others will not join in your tour and you will not take part into any tours of others on our land services.

Make sure you try as many local specialities as possible. We even braved scorpion and snake in Beijing. I would take a pillow case with me next time, as some of the pillows on the trains and boat aren't always completely clean.
