Everything about booking a tour with us, from planning to the day itself.
Before you book
Group size, language, kids, what's included.
What language is the tour in?
English, with a local guide who lives in the city. Some tours also run in Mandarin — the tour page lists the languages.
Is the price per person? What's included?
Prices are per person, in US dollars. Each tour page has an Includes and Not included list — entry tickets, meals and transport are spelled out there, so there are no surprises on the day.
I have limited mobility. Can I join?
Each tour page says how far you'll walk and whether there are stairs. If you're unsure, email us before booking — we'll ask the guide and give you a straight answer.
How far ahead should I book?
Booking closes a set time before each tour starts — it's shown on the tour page. For tours that include big museums, book early: those tickets are issued in your passport name and can sell out days ahead.
Booking & paying
Accounts, payment methods, currency, receipts.
Do I need an account to book?
No. Book with your email address. We set up your account in the background and send you a sign-in link, so you can find your booking any time without a password.
How do I find my booking?
Open the link in your confirmation email, or use Find my order with your booking number and email. Your e-voucher is on that page — show it on your phone, no printing needed.
I didn't get a confirmation email.
Check your spam folder first. Your booking still exists either way — look it up with Find my order, or write to us and we'll send you the link again.
Which currency am I charged in?
US dollars. If you switch the site to another currency, those prices are estimates — your bank converts at its own rate on the day.
My payment didn't go through. Was I charged?
No — a failed payment isn't charged. Your seats stay reserved until the time shown on your order page, so you can try again with Complete payment. If your bank keeps declining, try a different card or Apple Pay.
Can I book for friends or family?
Yes — choose the number of people when you book; one booking covers the whole group. Put your own email so the confirmation reaches you.
Changes & refunds
Changing dates, cancelling, weather.
How do I cancel, and how much do I get back?
Open your booking and choose Request a refund. Before you confirm, you'll see exactly how much comes back.
- Inside the free-cancellation window (shown on the tour page and your booking) — a full refund.
- After that, the tour's cancellation policy applies.
Read the full cancellation policy
How long does a refund take?
We send it straight away. Most banks show it on your statement within 5–10 business days.
What if you cancel my tour?
You get a full refund, and we'll email you as soon as we know.
On the day
Meeting point, what to bring, running late.
How do I get to the meeting point?
Show the Chinese address to a taxi or DiDi driver, or follow the metro exit given on your voucher. Allow extra time at rush hour (8–9:30 am and 5:30–7 pm).
Should I tip the guide?
Tipping isn't expected in China. On free walking tours, a tip at the end is welcome but never required.
Your account
Signing in, password, deleting your data.
How do I sign in?
Use the sign-in link in your booking email, or log in with your email and password. Forgot your password? Request a reset link — it lasts 15 minutes and works once.
How do I delete my account?
Go to Account → Delete account. We keep records of past bookings for tax and legal reasons; everything else is removed.
