Here are some of the optional tours offered: In Beijing, a city tour that included Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Summer Palace, and a half-day tour to Temple of Heaven and the Hutongs. If you speak the language and can get around on your own, you will have a lot more flexibility. You do NOT have to take them, however, the group moves in tour buses, and it isn’t usually easy to separate from the group, meaning that you’ll have to wait nearby on your own while the others complete their activity. Additional expenses to know about for your China Groupon:Įxpect HEAVY pressure to purchase ALL the optional tours (except the evening ones), so plan that in your budget. An additional $100 per person would be charged as tips for the guides and bus drivers and collected at the time of the booking. I liked having control over when and how the application would be processed. If you go directly to a Chinese consulate or embassy, the cost is $140. Call them in advance to inquire because they were unable to process applications for naturalized citizens and non-US citizens. The Groupon explained that there would be additional fees due for a China Visa. Note that there were about 3 tour buses in our group (about 30 people per bus).Īs you can tell, the nine days are more like six or seven days because of the amount of travel time. Local Tours: The tours listed above are included. Guide: English speaking guide provided for the entirety of the trip
Meals: Breakfast buffet each day at the hotel.
Local Transportation: To and from airports buses to tours buses, trains, and/or airplanes from city to city. We had no options to select categories but they were what I would consider 3-4 star category. Hotel: Hotels at each destination were included.
