In certain circumstances, for instance on Ultimate China private tours, Imperial Tours’ China Host pays for alcoholic beverages consumed during meals as well as some other sundry items, as needed, on behalf of travelers. This is to reduce any unnecessary delays. Travelers agree to reimburse Imperial Tours fully for these incidental expenses at the end of their tour. Imperial Tours does not charge for this service and travelers are asked to reimburse only what they were charged, as explained on itemized bills presented to travelers at the end of their tour. Please not that if these incidental charges are settled by credit card, a 4% surcharge will be added.
As part of our service on Ultimate China private tours, Imperial Tours’ China Hosts take photographs of guests. These are sent to guests after their tour is finished. Imperial Tours reserves the right to take photographs during the tour, and also to use the resulting images to promote Imperial Tours services. By booking a tour with Imperial Tours, travelers agree to allow their images to be used in such photographs. Travelers who prefer that their images not be used are asked to identify themselves to the China Host at the beginning of the tour.
