    Matt

    Asked on November 27th, 2025

    I'm looking to book for my mother and myself the 8-Day Best of China Tour: Luxury Small Group & High-end Hotels, All Inclusive. Although it says welcome to all ages, I read in the fine print that is not suitable for people over 80yo. Mum is a fit 83yo that walks pretty much everyday and is ok with light activities. Can you let me know if I can book this tour for her and what was the reason you consider the tour not suitable for over 80's.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Travel China GuideOperatorWritten November 2025

      If you travel with your mum, it is no problem to book this tour for two of you. But, your mother should purchase the travel insurance for herself and we need the the copy of the insurance.

      Matt

      TravelerWritten November 2025

      I've been trying to be cost effective and have the 8 days trip and at the end add the Yangtze River only. I feel it would end up cheaper than the 11 days trip with Yangtze River included that has some $800 in local taxes added to the trip cost. Can you please guide me with that.

    • M

      Matt

      TravelerWritten December 2025

      I noticed looking at a different tour that travel insurance can be added to the booking. There was however written down if I can add just for one traveller the insurance as I already have for myself. Only need for mum to get it. She is 82 at the time of booking. Can you please tell me if I can add travel insurance for one traveller only and what would be the cost for my 82 yo mum.

    • Travel China GuideOperatorWritten December 2025

      If you want to cover they both, the tour will be 15 days as below: 15-Day Classic China Vacation: Luxury Small Group & Hotels, Acrobatic and Dance Show.
