We are interested in this tour but noticed there is no breakfast or meet and greet on the first day with pick up from and to airport. Can these be added in snd what's the total costs

Yes we can help book airport transfers for an additional cost. As for breakfast, This is something you will pay for whilst on tour and not an option to add to the tour prior.

Does he require a visa? If a visa is needed, could your team assist with obtaining it?

For U.S. passport holders applying for a Chinese visa from within the United States, a Letter of Invitation (LOI) is generally not required for a standard tourist visa application. If you require supporting documents for your visa application, such as a detailed tour itinerary or our agency license information, we would be happy to provide these documents upon booking confirmation. While we are not able to submit the visa application on your behalf, we can assist by providing guidance on the application process and the supporting documentation required by the Chinese Embassy or Consulate. As visa processing times can vary, we recommend submitting your application as soon as possible. Regular service: about 4 business days after the passport and application are submitted. Express service: about 2–3 business days (where available and approved). Many applicants report a total timeline of 1–3 weeks, and during busy periods it can be 3–4 weeks or more. Applying at least 4–6 weeks before travel is generally recommended.

I am interested in traveling to Yunnan in October and would like more information on the itinerary, inclusions, and the type of accommodations used on this tour. Can you also provide a quote for the airport transfers on this tour?
