Dear:Mr. Jorge Rey
Warmly greetings from Top China Travel! Many thanks for your enquiry and trust to us!
I am Lily from Top China Travel; I am your personal travel consultant. It is my pleasure to assist your trip to China
Please find below key points that I need clarity about tour arrangement.
1) besides the train from Beijing to Lhasa, we are glad to inform you that daytime train from Shanghai to Beijing is also available. This train starts running from JUNE 2011, it takes about 7 hours on this train and soft seat train ticket is much cheaper than air fare.
2) Concerning you travel alone, we suggest private tour mixed join in group tour (equal to SIC tour) for saving money. SIC stands for Seat in Coach. Guests who participate our SIC tour will share bus and guide service with other clients. Our coach and guide will go from hotel to hotel to pick up guests who signed up the tour for the day. Only English-Chinese speaking guide provided for SIC tour, our guide will take you to all the scenic spots as what listed in the itinerary. SIC tour is convenient and economic; it is a good choice for solo travelers and business clients. Shopping is included during the SIC tour.
3) Dinner is excluded because it has no such item for SIC tour , but you can get recommendation about local restaurants from our guides. In Tibet, tour arrangements are private basis, so you just need pay USD15 per meal for dinner fee if prefer (inclu round way transfer between hotel and restaurants with guide/car assistance)
Hope the above is clear and helpful.
Should you have any questions or request, please do not hesitate let us know. J
Many thanks & best regards
Lily
