A light deposit holds your dates. You settle the balance in person in China.
No big upfront payment, no pressure. A small secure deposit confirms your private Chongqing journey; you settle the balance in person in China after you arrive and sign your written tour contract — no large sums wired overseas before you travel. Clear terms, fair refunds, and a licensed company behind every payment.
Two simple steps
We keep it light at the start and settle the rest in person once you are on the ground with us in China.
1 · Light deposit
A deposit of typically 10–20% confirms your dates and lets us pre-book guides, hotels and tickets. Paid by secure online payment or bank transfer. The exact figure is in your written proposal.
2 · Arrive, sign, then settle
You settle the balance in person in China once you have arrived and signed your formal tour contract. No large sums are wired overseas before you travel, and you get a written receipt for every payment.
Everything in writing
Inclusions, price, deposit and the cancellation terms are confirmed in a written contract before you pay anything.
Pay securely, the way that suits you
Card payments are processed on the secure hosted page of a licensed payment provider — the same kind of gateway used by major Chinese inbound operators. We never see or store your card number.
- 💳International cards. Visa, Mastercard, American Express and UnionPay, processed securely with 3-D Secure authentication.
- 🏦Bank transfer. For larger balances, paid to our registered company account.
- 💰Priced in USD. Trip prices are quoted in US dollars; your card is charged in USD at the time of payment.
- 🔒No card stored here. This website never stores card details — payment happens on the provider's PCI-compliant page.
Who you are paying
Plans change. Our policy is simple.
Because you only pay a light deposit up front, a cancellation only ever affects that deposit — never the full trip price.
Full refund
Cancel 30 or more days before your start date and your deposit is refunded in full.
50% refund
Cancel 15 to 29 days before your start date and half of your deposit is refunded.
Deposit held
Within 15 days of your start date the deposit is non-refundable, as guides, hotels and tickets are already committed.
If something outside anyone's control disrupts your trip (illness, flight cancellations, weather or other force majeure), we will work with you to rebook your dates or hold your deposit as travel credit. Final cancellation terms are always confirmed in your written contract.
