FAQs

Day trip from Shanghai?

Yes: 45 minutes by train. I meet you at Hangzhou East station and the tour starts from there; add an hour.

How do I pay?

After the guide confirms your itinerary you receive a payment link for the 20% deposit (card). The balance is charged 7 days before the tour. Sample policy for the demo.
