Dear Chris Talusan,
Thanks for contacting Top China Travel!
I have got your idea and I wil answer you questions one by one:
1. We can both arrange independent tour and Group tour. And independent tour is more cozy and expensive.
2. Normally many hotels will equip with fitness center and they are free to use.
3. We have help to transfer from Dalian to the first tour city, and if you need us to arrange it, could you give me more detailed information:
Which city do you want to travel?
Is it two people will travel together?
Which kinds of hotel do you prefer?3,4 or 5 star?
Any further request or question, please feel free to contact with us.
