Your China Host can be as integrated with your party or as discreet as you wish. While she/he is available to share meals with you, you can easily request your China Host dine separately. We find many customers truly enjoy the insights and context a China Host provides, a context derived not only from familiarity with China but also a Western cultural background – the combination of which delivers a more textured travel experience overall. Note that service will be better when a China Host is with you. Please bear this in mind if you do request that the China Host not to join you for dinner and the service is not as expected.
