I saw this post (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/866280) that shares a 10-day tour package to China at $888 per person. But it appears that the travel offer is strictly valid for those aged 18 and over.

I found a similiar, if not identical, tour by AVG Travels (https://avgtravels.com/au/10-day-incredible-china) is now also discounted from $999 to $888 and does not specify that the tour is restricted to those above 18-years old. In the fine print, it says "Children over 6 years. Please check with our sales team before you make a booking with your kids." This indicates it does accept kids over 6 years old.

If someone could compare the itineraries between TripADeal and AVG Travels to see what the differences are, that would be very helpful to fellow Ozbargain users.

This package includes return flights from Sydney/Melbourne. Flights from Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth attract a $400 surcharge. According to their date schedule, the $888 price is valid for tours up to Aug 2025, the price in Sep 2025 is $1199.

There are also a 12-day tour including Xi'an (Terracotta Warrior) which costs $1499, a 8-day tour costing $799, a 14-day Silk Road Tour (Xinjiang) costing $3399 and a 13-day tour combining China and Hong Kong ($2499). The China tour listing page is at https://avgtravels.com/au/china/ . I think the Silk Road Tour will be interesting.

      Yeah they test you for Covid 72 hours before departure and if you’re positive then you get quarantine.

    Excluded

    Compulsory Tipping for driver and tour guide (AU$12 per person/day). This is collected by our tour guide when you arrives in Beijing.

      Common practice in Chy-nah. Travel agent pay minimum wages to driver and guide they then rely on actual performance to get tips from the travellers.

        Tipping is common practice on all tours FYI.

        Still way better than the U.S. tipping culture. (even for a shit service you have to pay)

    • Euthyphro on 18/09/2024 - 07:44

      Common practice in Australia as well for Chinese operated tours, $5/day for the driver and tour guide.

        Pretty sure he's lolling at the whole 888 = good fortune in eastern culture, not suggesting that the price is outlandish.

      Single person should be $444 ;)

    The itinerary is almost a mix of free attractions and shopping stops where you have to listen to sales pitches.
    Considering that the ticket includes checked baggage allowance, this could be a deal for international students returning home (if they live in a city along the route and are allowed to skip part of the trip).
    But I guess the travel agency wouldn't want a local mixing in with the group.

      As long as you don't get those chinese tour guide that scold you if you don't purchase

    Does this include a free EV car with every ticket?

  • Mittle Lix on 18/09/2024 - 00:57

    Went on a similar package years back (same trip minus shanghai).

    All the places we were taken to were hard sales pitches that took way too long, 2 hour sit-down talk about traditional chinese medicine, 2 hour walk through some jade factory, 2 hours at some oyster pearl place.

    the Golden Mask Dynasty was sweet, one of the best things i've ever seen.
