Who organises the
London Visit?
There are slots available for the
School to arrange their own visit
as part of the tour. We can also assist
in arranging visits such as the trips to the
local Media Office, Greater London Authority,
amongst many other celebrated institutions.
HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT
What are the ticketing
arrangements if the students
want to see musicals?
We strongly suggest the students to
book in advance via the musical website.
What are the arrangements for the visit to
Parliament or House of Lords?
Because the tour group mostly consists of
foreign nationals, special permission will need
to be organised in advance, with an invitation
of a Parliament member or a Lord to enter
the building. The visit will be arranged during
the recess or weekends for Parliament.
What is your suggestion if we do
not take the breakfast or dinner
option?
The students have access to the
well equipped kitchen located in every flat.
Pots, pans and cutlery are all provided.
For breakfast, the students can go to
cafes and fast food chains near the
accommodation. Students can also buy food
at the local convenient stores and at the
Oriental store next to the train station.
For dinner, the students can either cook at
their apartment or eat locally or in Central
London. We provide a companion service
for the students wanting to travel to Central

Who will accompany the
Anglo-Chinese tour?
Be rest assured that at least one
member of Anglo-Chinese staff will
accompany the tour every day. We currently
have two members of staff available: One is
Chinese speaking with a Tour Guide License
issued by the Hong Kong Travel Industry Council.
The other is a local English speaking staff with
years of experience working with tour groups.
What are the working hours
of a coach driver?
By UK Law, a coach driver can
only drive 9 hours per day and
must take a break every 6 days. Therefore,
to reduce the cost we suggest the itinerary
not to exceed 9 hours of coach use.
Who is a Blue Badge Guide?
Why quote for a Blue
Badge Guide and not a
UK Local Tour Guide?
A Blue Badge Guide is a local UK tour guide
who has been examined and awarded their
status by the Institute of Tourist Guiding. A
Blue Badge Guide has granted access to the
most popular tourist attractions and must
take examinations before they are allowed to
guide tour groups. They are the only tour guide
licensed to provide tours to Windsor Castle,
Shakespeare’s Birth Place and London coach trip.
Can we pay the same price if
we do not want to pre-book
in advance for the optional
ticket tourist attractions?
All of our quoted prices are based on pre-book
and group discount. Many of them require a
group number of 15+. We highly recommend
pre-booking to avoid disappointment.
Why are tips inclusive in
the package price?
In the UK, the general practice is to
include tips for drivers and tour guides
at the quoted price. Tips are handed to the driver
everyday by the tour guide. The recommended
tips per day are £4 (GBP) per person
Can you arrange more
educational visits?
We can certainly look at more
options such as more university
departmental visits. Visits to governmental
organisations and private companies need to
be booked in advanced so we suggest you give
us a list of where you would like to visit and
we can conduct our research in good time.
Why is there more than one
accommodation option?
What are the differences?
The main difference is that
one is a group accommodation
whereas the other is a 4* hotel.
In the Court Hill Centre, our group will be staying
in bigger rooms with bunk beds and sometimes
with 4-6 people sharing a room. The toilet and
shower facilities will be shared. It is similar to those
holiday camp sites in Hong Kong. Please note that
for this option there are no single rooms available.
Hotels will provide double occupancy
rooms, including Free WiFi and the use of
the hotel leisure facilities. Single Rooms
are available for an additional charge.
Why is dinner and breakfast
provided in Oxford and
not in London?
It’s easier as a group to have meals
provided by the accommodation;
this is very popular for groups
travelling outside London. Many towns
struggle to cater for a large group therefore
hotels and other accommodations are used to
cater for them. Also transport is difficult if we
allow our group to dine out and to be picked
up later to return to our accommodation.
So for the Oxford tour, we have pre-arranged
dinner and breakfast as part of the accommodation
package. The main restriction is the coach driver
can work for no more than 9 hours a day. If we
do not eat in, the driver will exceed his driving
hours and we will need to pay an additional fee.
Is it necessary to hire a Blue Badge
Guide for this part of the tour?
Yes, we strongly recommend the
group to hire a Blue Badge Guide
as we will be visiting many British
landmarks - Blue Badge Guides have
detailed, in-depth knowledge of Oxford’s highlights.
