Fujian Tea Tour - General Info

Sample Itinerary - Cost depends on itinerary and dates

This tour is a wonderful opportunity for those who like adventure and want to experience real tea culture in its native environment. Many of the places and people with whom we visit are not tourist sights and we have the unique privilege of accessing these usually restricted resources. Flexibility for change is a valuable quality, as travel can occasionally be unpredictable. Hiking up hills, traveling a bumpy road and getting a toe wet walking through tea gardens are ordinary events. Participants should also be able to handle cultural differences with grace and respect  and conduct themselves as visiting guests. Tour members should be in appropriate physical and emotional condition.

Cost for the tour is US$3,100. Price is per person based on double occupancy and ten or more tour members. For single room supplement add US$495. Tour members desiring a roommate will be paired up on a first come first served basis. If a roommate is not available, you will be charged the single rate. Schedule, locations, conditions and prices are subject to change without notice.

Tour cost includes all hotels, all travel within China, all meals and banquets as specified on the Itinerary, entrance and enrollment fees, guides for scheduled activities, domestic airport taxes and group airport transfer.

Tour cost does not include international airfare or any domestic airfare not stated in the tour itinerary, passport and visa fees, guide and driver gratuities, overweight baggage fees, international airport taxes, charges due to cancellation or reticketing, or personal expenses.
