      Terms and Conditions:

    • I understand you would like to join a group for travelling. Here I would like to clarify that Group Tour Packages (SIC Seat in Coach Tours) may not suit everybody’s requirements. We have had some complaints about these Group Tour Packages so I would like to explain the situations that may be encountered on these tours.
    • 1. Tibettravel does not operate Seat-in-Coach Tours. We act as a booking agent for specialized SIC operators.
    • 2. The coach will pick up and return all tour guests to their hotels. This may mean that guests spend a substantial time on the coach while traveling between hotels. This time onboard the coach is always included as part of the duration of the tour.
    • 3. A large tour group obviously reduces the ability of the guide to answer particular questions from guests and satisfy special requests from guests.
    • 4. Guests may be required to move through the attractions at a pace faster that they wish, to meet the demands of the whole tour party and the time restrictions.
    • 5. If you need to catch the overnight train, you will need to check out the hotel before you start the tour and you could save your luggage in the lobby.
    • 6. Tibettravel specializes in Private Tours but we also realize that some people prefer a slightly less expensive option. Is order to achieve these savings we sometimes use Group Tours run by other operators to reduce the cost to our customers. These tour operators will usually have two shopping opportunities each day and will also offer optional tours during the tour or at night. These shopping stops and tours provide income for the operator, the guide and driver. China Highlights has no control over this activity. We want you to be aware of this in advance.

    Tibettravel want to provide the best possible China experience at the best possible price so we want you to be fully informed and to meet your expectation as best we can. I hope you will allow us to see if we can better serve you.
