Things to note
We will go inside the city god temple, and the travellers will pay the 10RMB entrance fee themselves, with cash or Alipay
We will visit outside Yuyuan Garden, including nine zigzag bridges and a mid-lake pavilion. Not only that, but we won’t go inside the Yuyuan garden to visit.
Our tours are always kept to small groups to create a friendly, conversational atmosphere where travellers can meet each other and interact with local people. For this reason, we don’t accept large group bookings of more than 6 people.
How can the tour be free?
Our concept is simple — there is no set price. Instead, you tip your guide at the end of the tour whatever amount feels right to you. Typically, guests give between $10 to €50, depending on their satisfaction and budget.
Most guides accept cash or card payments, or you can do it via our app.
Free Cancellation
You are free to cancel a booking anytime. We kindly remind you to cancel bookings you cannot arrive for. Being reported as absent decreases your customer level points and the benefits you can enjoy.
