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.

Found many travel pals encountered the same accidents. Assumed we have paid the travel agency the full tour price and there would be no much expense during the tour, at least the permission fee. But things turned out not to be as imagined. The guide would always tell you that your tour price just included the first entrance fee, exclusive any other charges inside the sites. If you want to climb the Big Wild Goose Pagoda within the Ci'en Temple, extra charge is needed. Same thing happens everywhere. To avoid these circumstances, check the exact items included in the itinerary and which ones have been paid alreay. Do not be cheated by the guides nor the travel agency.
