Typically Asked Questions from Our Clients
Asked by Ajal***
How much is the price and how much is the extra charge if staying alone in the hotel? I live near the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), is it possible to pick-up, if not please suggest the other place that I can visit the guide.
In your inquiry, you mentioned that you would like to join our 2-day Panda & Leshan Giant Buddha & Mt. Emei Bullet Train Group Tour on 27th. May.
But I am sorry that we don’t have group tours for foreigners. I am afraid you could only have a private tour, of which the cost will not be cheap.
We will come to pick you up since it’s private tour for you.
