Travel made seamless
Hotels, guides and transfers work together.
Your hotel level, guided days, transfers, route transport and principal admissions are planned together. We check availability for your dates before payment.
Stay
Five breakfast-included nights, twin sharing: Zhengzhou 1, Kaifeng 1 and Luoyang 3. Exact four-star standard hotels and room types are confirmed before payment.
Guide, transport and admissions
Days 2–5 include a private English-speaking guide, driver, vehicle and the first admissions named in the written itinerary. Korean pages use a Korean-speaking guide at the same base price, subject to date availability.
Before you choose
How much is the 6-day Luoyang, Shaolin and Kaifeng private tour?
Per person, sharing twin rooms: USD 1,390 for 2 travellers, USD 1,000 for 4 and USD 970 for 6. The guide, driver and vehicle serve only your group, so a larger group splits their cost. These are starting prices; any seasonal supplement and the final total are confirmed in writing before you pay.
What does the price include, and what costs extra?
It covers five nights with breakfast in four-star-standard hotels (Zhengzhou 1, Kaifeng 1, Luoyang 3), arrival and departure transfers, a private English-speaking guide, driver and vehicle on Days 2–5, and the main entry tickets named in your itinerary. Flights, lunches, dinners, tips, single rooms and optional shows are extra.
Will we see a kung fu show at Shaolin Temple?
Shaolin Temple and the Pagoda Forest are on Day 3, via Dengfeng on the way to Luoyang. Any martial-arts performance depends on that day's operating timetable, so we can't promise you will see one.
How much time is there for Longmen Grottoes and the rest of Luoyang?
Longmen Grottoes gets the main part of Day 4, following the site's visitor route and shuttle plan rather than a quick photo stop, with an easy old-town walk if time and energy allow. Day 5 covers White Horse Temple and one confirmed Luoyang museum or city stop, with closing days and reservations checked for your dates.
Can we arrive in Zhengzhou and fly home from Zhengzhou?
Yes. Day 1 is an arrival day in Zhengzhou with no fixed sightseeing. On Day 6 we take you to Luoyang station or Zhengzhou airport; the drive to Zhengzhou airport is the longer one, so we set its timing once your flight is known.
How do we book, and when do we pay?
Send us your dates, rooming, arrival details and luggage count. We confirm the hotels, transport, guide language, any seasonal supplement and the final total in writing before you pay. There are no shopping stops, and nothing extra is added without your agreement.
