The tour uses a private vehicle for the same party. The driver drives, helps with ticket purchases and offers general sightseeing suggestions, but normally does not accompany you inside attractions or provide professional guided commentary. An accompanying guide requires a separate quotation.
Airport/station transfers and the itinerary vehicle are private to your own party, without sharing with unrelated travellers. Public scenic-area shuttle buses, cable cars and trains may be shared with other visitors according to local operations.
Accommodation & travelling together
Prices are based on two adults sharing a room. Reference hotels and room types are subject to availability. Diamond ratings quoted by the supplier are online-platform ratings, not official star ratings.
Children are quoted individually by age, height, bed use and room occupancy. A child's basic fare does not mean free participation; breakfast, admission, scenic-area transport, rafting, hot springs and resort benefits may require supplements.
The desert camp uses tents and shared bathrooms, not hotel twin rooms with private bathrooms.
Confirm departure dates and seasonal facilities before booking. Snow conditions, flowering, sunrise/sunset, rime, aerial photography and scenic-road access are not guaranteed on every day.
Before booking, provide the actual entry and travel documents each traveller will use so hotel, attraction and regional reception requirements can be checked. Eligibility for Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and other passport holders cannot be inferred from ethnic Chinese identity alone.
Payment, cancellation, amendment and non-refundable confirmed-resource conditions will be stated before booking. Confirmed hotels, tickets and activities may incur actual losses. Travel Mama's quotation and booking confirmation terms apply.
