Click image to start slideshow

• How difficult is the cycling on the tour?

  This is up to you.  If you book as a private tour we'll design the tour to suit the distance and level of challenge you want.  We can even design a route to include most of the scenic areas around Yangshuo or get you way off the beaten track.

• Can we start and finish the tour from our hotel?

  You can.  Just let us know where you are staying and we'll design a route around your location.  We do like to make sure you have the right bikes to suit your heights so make sure you let us know how tall (or short) you are so we can bring them along to your hotel.

• Is lunch included?

  Yes.  We include a local lunch at an appropriate point of the ride.  Just let your guide know if you have any particular dietary requirements.

• What happens if it rains?

  Generally, unless the rain is severe, we'll run the tour anyway.  During the operational months for this tour the rain is not cold.  However, if the rain is severe and it is not feasible to run the tour we will cancel it.  In cases where we need to cancel due to circumstances out of our control we will offer a full refund or reschedule to an alternative time.

• Can we change the itinerary or customise the tour?

  Not for publicly listed dates, but if you have your own group or date in mind, Yes.  If you want to make a private booking we can help design a tour that suits you.  You may have ideas based on any of our tours or something in mind that you can't find on our website.  Just get in contact with us and let us know what you have in mind and we'll try our best to make it happen!

• Do you cater for vegetarians?

  Yes we do!  If you have any dietery requirements just let us know when you book in the space provided (Additional Requests).  For any severe alergies or other conditions it is best that you let us know in advance so that we can prepare and/ or advise you on what we can provide or what you might need to bring so that are well catered for.

• Is the tour suitable for children?

  Our policy for children is that children must be over 16 years of age and accompanied by at least one legal guardian.  They should be able to complete the tour as would any other participant.  We would require that you consult with us about the suitability of older childeren participating on the tour before you book.  As these are group tours, we'd need to make sure that your child or children will not impact the enjoyment of the tour of other participants.  We would assess this with you on a case by case basis.  

  We do run family specific tours so these are good options when travelling with kids, or you may choose to opt for a private tour based on any of the tours on our website.  Just chat to us about the possibilities about what will work best for your family.

• What about Covid 19?

  2020 has seen travel grind to a halt and the outlook going into 2021 looks to be more of the same.  While we have suspended travel to most of our destinations we are operating tours in China for domestic travellers.  We'll open up destinations as the stuation improves and only when travel is green lighted by the relevant health and government agencies.  

  Travelling during this time means adhering to mandated guidlines and practices which means having green codes enabled on your mobile phone apps, taking Covid tests, wearing masks where neccesary, and filling in contact and travel history forms.  These rules and guidelines are constantly changing as situations regarding the virus change, so it is important to remain flexible.  We'll inform you of the requirements when you book and leading into the tour departure date.

  Given the situation as it is, please understand that cancellations are quite possible and are outside of our control.  While we understand the frustrations this may present, we'll do our best to make things run as smooth as possible and keep you informed of any changes as they arise.  

  During this time we will only accept full payments for tours three weeks before departure.  All payments, however, will be refunded in full if the tour is cancelled prior to departure, or your personal covid-related situation precludes you from commencing the tour.  Please make sure when booking flights that they are aslo refundable in the event of a cancelation.
