Tips for your Holiday: The service provided by our local guides, drivers and tour leaders is second to none. If you agree, a tip – while not compulsory – is encouraged. Tipping is customary across Asia.

Responsible Travel: We are committed to responsible travel and ensuring a sustainable future for the destinations we visit. Beijing’s ancient hutongs might be little more than a memory, if it weren’t for their tourist appeal. We visit a family home in these traditional backstreets to share a tasty, homemade lunch and find out more about a way of life that is slowly disappearing.
