Do I need to print my ticket or is a mobile voucher accepted?

A mobile e-voucher is accepted. You can show it on your phone — no need to print. The voucher also carries the customer service hotline should you need assistance on the day.

Where exactly does the tour start? Do I need to make my own way to Tiananmen Square?

No. The tour starts with a hotel pickup between 07:00 and 08:00. Your guide comes to your hotel lobby, so there is no independent travel required at the start or end of the day.

What happens if the weather is bad on the day of my tour?

In cases of extreme weather, the tour may be cancelled or the itinerary adjusted. If this affects your booking, the operator will contact you using the local number you provided.

My child has a food allergy — can the lunch be adapted?

Yes. Please advise of any allergies or specific dietary requirements at the time of booking so the operator can make appropriate arrangements.

Can I cancel if my plans change?

Please check the cancellation policy shown at checkout, as terms depend on how far in advance you cancel. The policy will be confirmed on your booking confirmation.

Are children charged the full adult price?

Children aged two and under join the tour free of charge but must share a seat with a parent or guardian. All children must be accompanied by a paying adult throughout the tour.
