A clear guide to confirming your private Yunnan journey. You receive a written itinerary, inclusions and quotation before making a booking decision.
How booking works
- Share your plans. Tell Joy your dates, number of travelers and the places you are interested in.
- Review your proposal. We prepare a written itinerary, inclusions and quote for your dates. You can request changes before booking.
- Confirm and pay the deposit. Sign the travel contract with the licensed agency and pay the 20% deposit to its corporate account. Hotels, tickets and the vehicle are arranged after the deposit.
- Begin your journey. Your private pickup starts the trip. The remaining balance is settled after your first pickup.
Payment
- 20% deposit. Due after you agree to the written itinerary and sign the travel contract.
- 80% remaining balance. Due after your first pickup, when your journey starts, at the meeting point specified in your proposal.
Pay by Alipay, WeChat or bank transfer to the licensed agency's corporate account. The receiving company name matches the company on your travel contract. The written quotation confirms the final price and what is included.
Changes & cancellations
The following 7-day period is counted from the journey's departure date.
- More than 7 days before departure: the deposit is refunded, minus hotel or ticket costs already booked that cannot be recovered.
- 7 days or fewer before departure: the deposit is kept.
Weather, ticket availability and transport may require changes after booking. We discuss alternatives with you before making adjustments. Your written travel contract sets out the terms applicable to your confirmed booking.
