How do I join a shared small-group tour in Henan, and what should I watch out for?

[Direct conclusion] 【A shared small-group tour combines several unrelated parties into one small group, splitting vehicle and guide costs per person for a clearly lower price than a private tour. Key points to keep in mind: 1. The key is to confirm the minimum group size and the group composition.】 How they work: Five things to confirm before booking: ◆ Minimum numbers and the confirmation deadline — when will departure be certain, and what happens if it is not met? 2. This is the biggest uncertainty of shared groups. 3. ◆ The actual vehicle and how full it will be — a "16-person small group" filling a 16-seat minibus may not feel as advertised. 4. ◆ Whether cable cars, shuttles and shows are included — shared groups often make these optional extras, so total your spend first.
