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

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.
