PRIVATE CAR, PRIVATE GUIDE, YOUR PACE

Not all tours are created equal!!!
When booking an independent tour of China, you have two choices - seat-in coach sightseeing (SIC) OR private vehicle.

All Discover Asia China tours are based on your use of a private air conditioned vehicle and your own English-speaking guide (unless you request seat-in-coach).

THE DIFFERENCE IS CLEAR…

Morning pick-up	SIC	You are told be in the lobby of your hotel at a fixed time, you may then spend the next hour picking up clients from other hotels
	PRIVATE	You agree on a time for pick-up and your sightseeing starts immediately
Sightseeing	SIC	It could take as long as 15 minutes for everyone to get off & on the bus
	PRIVATE	Your sightseeing starts immediately
Tour pace	SIC	The group moves at the pace of the slowest person
	PRIVATE	You choose your own pace
Photo stops	SIC	The guide tells you when you can take a photo
	PRIVATE	You decide when you take a photo
Loo stops	SIC	Loo stops are when the guide dictates & imagine how long it takes for 40 people to go the loo
	PRIVATE	Your loo stop starts immediately!
Tour guide	SIC	As many as 40 people could be vying to ask a question of the guide
	PRIVATE	You have SOLE access to the guide
Shopping	SIC	A major part of the guide's income comes from commissions, so expect a lot of shops AND if one person is spending, you will not leave until they stop!
	PRIVATE	Whilst you will visit shops, you determine how long you are there and when you want to go
Evening drop-off	SIC	If you are in the last hotel you could be driving around for an hour dropping off others
	PRIVATE	You get to the hotel when you decide

NB: When booking an independent tour, always ask if it is seat-in-coach or private car
