Tour Guides
China has tens of thousands of trained and licensed tour guides. Some of them are professors, librarians, and teachers, working part time, but all must pass a strict examination to be qualified to work as a tour guide.
Generally speaking, tour guides in the less developed areas such as along the Silk Road, in Tibet, and in parts of Sichuan and Yunnan are less qualified than those working in the Eastern provinces especially in terms of the quality of their spoken English.
Your guide will be on hand to provide commentary on the various destinations and attractions and offer assistance should you need things like restaurant recommendations, shopping tips etc.
Our Tour Guides normally cover one area or city where they have the local knowledge, when you arrive in a new city/destination you will meet a new guide.
Tour Managers
Groups of 10 people of more will be provided with the services of a Tour Manager, they will accompany you throughout the China tour
Tipping is a way of life in China and we would like to honour that tradition by offering the tour guides and drivers a token of our appreciation, for your convenience the tips will be collected at the start of each tour (amounts stated on your documents).
