Everything You Need to Know Before Booking
Can you handle multi-city routes and large private groups (10–25+ people)? ▼
Yes. In addition to solo travelers and couples, we regularly architect multi-week overland routes and provide dedicated on-ground fixers for multi-generational families, university research trips, and corporate business delegations. Simply state your group size and vehicle needs in the inquiry form.
How do your local fixers and bilingual interpreters work? ▼
Our network operates strictly on transparent, flat daily or multi-day rates. Our guides never take retail commissions, never steer you toward tourist traps or inflated souvenir shops, and represent your interests exclusively—from hospital appointment translation to high-speed railway transfers, factory audits, and private studio visits.
I am already inside China and need urgent assistance. How quickly do you respond? ▼
All form submissions are monitored in real time with an official 12-hour response guarantee. For same-day emergencies or urgent next-day guide bookings, please mention 'URGENT' in your notes and reach out directly to hello@chinastay.org with your WeChat or WhatsApp.
What is your cancellation and refund policy? ▼
We believe in zero-risk travel planning. If our proposed schedule, guide availability, or route logistics do not meet your expectations prior to final confirmation, you receive a 100% prompt refund. We outline all terms clearly in your custom proposal before any payments are finalized.
