Who are your guides?
All of our guides are full-time employees of Locals in China with a national tour-guide licence, each based in the city they guide. We do not use agencies or freelancers, and every guide profile on this site is a real colleague you can message before booking.
Are the tours private?
Yes. Every tour is for your party only. Prices are shown per group, not per person, for up to the group size listed on the tour.
Can I change a route?
Every tour is a starting point. Tell your guide what you care about and what you would rather skip; start times, pace, restaurants and stops can all be adjusted at no extra cost before the tour.
What is included in the price?
Your licensed guide for the stated hours, transport as described (private car with driver, or public transport fares with the guide), bottled water and ticket booking. Entrance tickets, meals and tips are listed separately on each tour page.
How do I pay, and what is the cancellation policy?
A 20% deposit by card confirms the date; the balance is due 15 days before the tour. Cancel free of charge up to 15 days before; after that the deposit is kept and the balance refunded.
