What to know before you plan, book and travel through China with MoodGoing.
Planning your journey
What kind of travel does MoodGoing design?+
We design private, tailor-made journeys across China for couples, families, friends, private groups and selected business travellers. Our focus is thoughtful pacing, meaningful local context and seamless coordination rather than fixed group tours.
Which destinations do you cover?+
Our work is China-wide. We plan classic routes through cities such as Beijing, Xi’an, Chengdu and Shanghai as well as landscape, heritage and special-interest journeys in other regions, subject to season and local access.
How far in advance should I enquire?+
For the widest choice of hotels, guides and special experiences, three to six months is ideal. We can sometimes arrange journeys at shorter notice, but availability may be more limited around public holidays and peak seasons.
Can you accommodate children, older guests or accessibility needs?+
Yes. Tell us about ages, mobility, dietary requirements, allergies and other needs at the beginning of planning. We will design realistically and confirm what can be supported at each destination.
Personal care and accessibility
Can you arrange an English-speaking nanny?+
With advance notice, we can arrange an English-speaking nanny or childcare companion in selected destinations, subject to availability. We confirm the provider, timing and scope before it becomes part of your booking.
Can you provide a wheelchair or accessible travel support?+
Wheelchairs and selected mobility equipment can be requested. We can also plan access-conscious transport, hotels and visits, but accessibility varies significantly by venue and destination. Share detailed mobility and transfer needs early so we can verify each part of the route.
Do you provide child seats and baby-friendly planning?+
Yes, subject to destination and vehicle availability. Tell us each child’s age, height and weight so the most appropriate available seat can be requested. We can also plan gentler pacing, family-ready accommodation and practical breaks.
Can you arrange vegetarian or halal Chinese dining?+
Yes. We can build a Chinese vegetarian or halal dining plan into the journey and select restaurants around the route. Please tell us about allergies, cross-contact concerns and the level of observance required so we can confirm suitable options.
Will we have a dedicated journey concierge?+
Yes. Confirmed private journeys have one dedicated MoodGoing contact who understands the complete plan and coordinates the guides, drivers, hosts and requested care arrangements involved.
Proposal and booking
How does the planning process work?+
Send us your interests, approximate dates, group size and preferred pace. A journey designer will begin a conversation, then prepare a tailored proposal. Your booking is confirmed only after you accept the written terms and make the required payment.
Are the website prices final?+
Published private day-tour prices are fixed by party size, and the exact total is shown before payment. Prices for tailor-made multi-day journeys remain planning guides until your proposal confirms the season, accommodation, transport, experiences, inclusions and exclusions.
What is normally included?+
Each proposal is different. It may include accommodation, private transport, guiding, selected meals, admissions and experiences. International flights, visas, travel insurance and personal expenses are excluded unless your proposal expressly says otherwise.
How are payments and cancellations handled?+
Published day tours can be paid online after you select the party size and preferred date. Tailor-made journeys follow the payment schedule and cancellation terms in your proposal. Our Refund Policy explains the general framework, while your booking confirmation controls where it contains specific terms.
Travelling in China
Do I need a visa?+
Entry and visa rules depend on nationality, route and current policy. Travellers are responsible for checking the latest official requirements and holding valid passports and documents. We can provide itinerary information needed for confirmed arrangements.
What languages do your guides speak?+
English-speaking guiding and support are our standard offer. Other languages may be available by destination and date; request your preferred language when planning.
Will I have support during the trip?+
Yes. Confirmed guests receive journey-specific coordination details before arrival. Our team works with the local guides, drivers and suppliers involved in your itinerary.
Should I buy travel insurance?+
Yes. We strongly recommend comprehensive insurance covering cancellation, medical care, evacuation, delay, baggage and the activities in your itinerary. MoodGoing does not sell travel insurance.
