Each engagement is quoted individually after reviewing your brief. Agree the scope, total fee, delivery timing, revisions and cancellation terms in writing before payment.
My core focus is Chengdu and greater Sichuan. If your trip extends to other parts of China, we can discuss it, but I will clearly confirm if it falls within my area of expertise before accepting the work.
I typically review requests and reply within 24 to 48 hours to confirm availability. We will set a clear delivery timeline for the actual research and itinerary creation before any payment.
Joe brings together scattered information, compares it against your dates and priorities, and explains which option he recommends. You pay for that screening, route design and decision-making. Time-sensitive details and the checks included in your plan are agreed before research begins.
YOUR DATES. YOUR QUESTIONS. YOUR PLAN.
Your month, trip length and biggest uncertainty are enough to start a conversation about paid planning.
