    I had a wonderful time on this trip, as everything went smoothly, with so many different experiences and a fantastic tour director. Others in the group were friendly and great company. I can't fault the whole tour and would highly recommend it (and Globus) to others looking for a high quality experience.

      TravelerWritten October 2022

      What is your refund policy should I not be able to obtain a Chinese Visa or there is a COVID lockdown preventing me from entering the country? Under those circumstances, would my trip be canceled and payments 100% refunded?

    • GlobusOperatorWritten October 2022

      We can accommodate a single guest and if you are unable to book it on the Tourradar website I can book it for you as long as you complete the "Traveler Details" on the website. The $250 deposit would not be refundable if you were not able to obtain the visa, but would be refundable if we had to cancel the tour.

    • GlobusOperatorWritten October 2022

      The single supplement for the 4/22/2023 Flavors of China & the Yangtze with Hong Kong departure is $1300.
