Some travel agent do not list shopping stops in itinerary, are they No-Shopping tour ?

There are two kinds of Shopping tour:

1st one: travel agent list shopping place in itinerary and make it clear to travelers in advance.
2nd one: shopping place is not included in itinerary, but tour guide and driver will lead you to shopping place during tour or lunch time.

Beijingservice think the 1st kind of shopping tour is better, this will inform travelers what to visit during the tour date in advance.
The second kind of shopping tour is often be regarded as no-shopping tour because you can not find shopping in their itinerary. To make it clear, you make ask your tour advisor " does this tour include shopping stop ? "
Usually you will get this reply, we will stop at one shopping place on each tour date. So, actually, it is shopping tour unless you pay extra cost to cancel the shopping place.
