We want our travellers to feel they have a choice about what they purchase and where. It’s the reason every member of our team is paid a salary, instead of having to rely on receiving sales commissions from preferred store operators on the tour.
The benefit to you is ChinaTours.com guides and drivers are totally independent and focused on delivering a memorable experience, not generating an income. They are free to share their wonderful local knowledge of what’s best in every location you visit.
Want insider shopping tips? No problem. Be sure to check with your guide while on tour with us. And if you’ve made a discovery before arriving in China, let us know. We’d love to take you there and can help with translation, selection and creation of a real China experience.
