Can I start from one of your existing itineraries?+
Yes. Tell us which journey caught your eye and what you would change. We can discuss a different duration, extra stops, hotel preferences or a gentler pace rather than starting from a blank page.
Do I need to know my dates and budget already?+
No. A month, a rough trip length or a few places you like is enough to start. We will clarify dates, party size and priorities before preparing a meaningful quote.
Do you plan trips beyond Yunnan?+
Yunnan is our starting point and the region we know best. If your plans include other parts of China, tell us where you would like to go. We will discuss feasibility and partner availability before promising arrangements.
How is a custom private journey priced?+
The quote depends on your dates, route, party size, accommodation, transport, guide language and chosen activities. It will state the currency, inclusions, exclusions and payment terms before you decide. Budget ranges in the form are planning preferences, not advertised tour prices.
Is this a group tour?+
The journey is planned for your own party, rather than joining a scheduled coach group. Public attractions, restaurants or activities may still be shared with other visitors; your proposal will clarify any shared arrangements.
Can you accommodate family, dietary or accessibility needs?+
Please describe what matters to you in the form. We will check the relevant hotel, vehicle, food and activity arrangements with the local partner before confirming whether they can meet your needs.
Who handles the booking, contract and payment?+
Joy helps shape the route and coordinates the proposal. The licensed local travel partner confirms the services, handles the travel contract and payment, and operates the journey. These details will be clear in your written proposal.
Does submitting this form commit me to a booking?+
