How We Work
Dates, number of travelers, interests, and approximate budget. With that, we can get started.
You'll receive a detailed itinerary with realistic timing, alternative options, and a clear cost breakdown.
We adjust the pace, accommodation areas, or visits until the plan fits you.
If you choose to travel, the reservation and operation are handled by a partner agency under its own contract and terms.
Why Ilumina
We don't sell packages: we listen to your case, assess what's feasible on the ground, and clearly tell you what works and what doesn't.
We speak your language from the first inquiry—no auto-translations or intermediaries.
We know real schedules, access points, and alternatives because we operate from Shanghai.
We don't sell off-the-shelf products. We first understand your case, then propose a solution.
We explain what we do and what the travel agency executing the trip assumes.
