Questions before you choose

Choose Plan Only if you want a clear custom itinerary and prefer to book most details yourself. Choose Plan & Book if you want LyrikTrip to handle logistics after planning. Choose Leave It With Us if you want a fully handled private journey with founder-led design, private guides, and fuller on-trip support.

Plan Only includes a custom China itinerary, route and destination recommendations, timing guidance, and pre-trip WhatsApp support. It is best for independent travelers who want the planning thinking done, while keeping control of their own bookings.

Yes, when your selected service level includes booking support. Plan & Book and Leave It With Us can cover hotels, trains, transfers, private guides, and activities. With Plan Only, we provide recommendations and you make the bookings yourself.

Pre-trip WhatsApp support is included across all service levels. On-trip WhatsApp support depends on the level you choose: Plan & Book includes it when needed, while Leave It With Us includes fuller support throughout the journey.

Private guides are not included in Plan Only. They can be added on request with Plan & Book, and they are included in Leave It With Us for travelers who want a fully supported private journey.

Founder-led planning means the trip design is personally shaped by LyrikTrip leadership rather than passed through a standard package template. It is reserved for Leave It With Us journeys where the route, pace, partners, and support model need closer senior oversight.
