Is this a fixed package?

No. This is a five-day route idea. Hotel tier, starts, meals, walking load, and the Leshan option are confirmed around your travelers.

Yes. Leshan is optional. A slower Chengdu day with tea, food, markets, or rest is a complete alternative.

Is the route suitable for older travelers?

Often yes, when the panda-base walking route and daily starts are reviewed honestly in advance. Private transport makes shorter days possible.

Can Sichuan food be mild?

Yes. We plan around allergies, children, and spice tolerance, from fragrant and mild to properly fiery.

When is my private China tour booking confirmed?

Your booking becomes binding only after the written travel contract and booking terms are accepted, the required initial payment is received in cleared funds, and AVIORA confirms the booking and relevant supplier arrangements in writing.

What payment and cancellation terms apply?

Your written proposal or booking confirmation states the currency, payment schedule, due dates, change conditions and cancellation schedule before you commit. Some hotels, transport tickets and special experiences may become non-refundable once booked or issued.

Pricing

Individually pricedQuote prepared for 4 guests

Every AVIORA journey is priced individually. Your written proposal reflects your travel dates, number of travellers, hotel standard, pace and the services you choose.

A starting point, not a fixed package: dates, party size, interests, hotels and pace can all be adjusted.

How this price is set

Includes selected four- or five-star hotels, private guiding and vehicles on scheduled touring days, listed entrance tickets and confirmed domestic transport.

Your price depends on the season and dates, how many people travel, hotel category, domestic transport and any optional experiences you add. Private guiding and vehicles are shared across your group, so larger parties usually pay less per person.

Guests on the pace and comfort

“What I appreciated most was that AVIORA didn't make us feel like difficult clients. We had quite a few preferences—hotel location, food, amount of walking, free time and the general pace—and every time we raised something, the response was practical rather than defensive.”

Megan Collins, Chicago, USA · Read the full review

“The hotels were elegant and comfortable rather than flashy. The guide was professional but personable. The vehicle was private and comfortable, but the overall atmosphere remained relaxed.”

Rebecca Hall, Dublin, Ireland · Read the full review

“We had a fantastic trip overall, although one day was more ambitious than we would have chosen ourselves. What mattered was how AVIORA responded. When we mentioned that we preferred a slower rhythm, they didn't simply say the itinerary had already been fixed. They adjusted the following day and made the pace more comfortable.”
