Description

Escape from the capital and experience true rural life in the best way possible; in the home of welcoming hosts. We use fast trains from Beijing to Jinan to get you into the heart of Shandong Province where we are working with a local initiative to encourage homestays for mutual benefit. For you to be able to make the most of the experience we have included the services of a local Buddy who will act as translator allowing you to communicate with your hosts and other villagers that you meet. They will also take care of the travel arrangements and deal with any issues arising. Sit down, have a cup of tea, catch up on the latest gossip. You could find yourself very much at home.

Please note: Our Booking Conditions apply. Please ensure you read these as they clarify several issues below.

We aim to be consistent but if there is any discrepancy the Booking Conditions take precedence.

Inclusions

Airport transfers: so long as you provide us with flight details in advance we arrange an English-speaking local guide and an air-conditioned vehicle with driver to meet you from the airport and transfer you to your hotel. The guide will provide assistance at check-in if required. We also arrange a final departure transfer for your last day. You may request a transfer from/to another location at the time of booking. Transfers are normally arranged for the first and last day of the itinerary. If you book additional nights with us then we will change the dates accordingly.
Local guides: We hire guides with detailed local knowledge for certain sites en-route. When the group consists of 5 or less participants the Local Guides will act as Journey Leader and have responsibility for delivering the travel services according to your itinerary whilst the group is visiting their city.
Journey Leader: When there are 6 or more participants your group will be lead throughout by a suitably qualified guide. This person will be our representative and has responsibility for delivering the travel services according to your itinerary.
Food and drink: we include many meals throughout the journey, especially breakfasts at hotels and when the group are travelling together. A soft drink is included with each lunch or dinner and tea/coffee and juice for breakfasts. We do leave some meals free for you to go off on your own and explore. You can see which meals are included on the day-by-day itinerary.
Entrance Fees: We include the cost of entrance fees to all sites listed in your itinerary. You should allow some money for other sites that you may wish to visit on your own. Not all sites have an entrance fee.
Gratuities: We have included gratuities for service providers encountered on a normal journey, and for expected levels of service.
