What’s different about ChinaTours.com China family tours?

We understand traveling with a family can keep you busy, even on holidays regardless of the age of children. That’s why our China family tours have been designed to cater especially to the needs of families traveling in China. While our itineraries include many sights, attractions, and family friendly activities, we can always tailor your tour with additional destinations and inclusions.

Every China family tour includes:

  • Flexible itineraries that accommodate little feet – Delivered as a private tour, families can enjoy maximum flexibility with the timing of daily activities being more relaxed around family holiday timetables.
  • Optional fun activities – While our China family adventures are rich in sights, attractions, and some of China’s most exciting cities, we also offer families the option of including additional fun activities: kite-making, calligraphy, kung fu classes, special panda experiences and more.
  • Child safety seats in all transport vehicles – The safety of your family is our priority and we only work with vehicle transport operators who demonstrate impeccable safety records. We accommodate the special needs of families with young children, providing child safety seats as required.

Looking for a custom China family tour?

Some families love a sense of adventure and we can understand why. There’s a whole world to explore and China is rich in history, culture, and experiences. And it’s just one of the reasons we offer our customers the flexibility of designing their own custom family tour if our set itineraries don’t cover everything you want to see. Of course, there is always the option to travel to the destinations on these tours, which include Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai, Zhangjiajie, the Yangtze River, and Chengdu. However, if your family wants to explore more, we can arrange that with ease.

With a network across the country that extends to over 20 different destinations, we have just about every corner covered. And understanding that too many pagodas and temples might not captivate the minds of your little ones or teens, we’ll work with you to incorporate wonderful experiences that are designed to enrich them and build bridges of understanding between cultures. If you’re curious and would like to know more about our custom tours, simply get in touch with our friendly travel consultants.

Discover experiences that create beautiful family memories

We love sharing with our customers how much fun we had planning our China tours for families.

Here’s how we went about it. We thought: What would we like if we were on a China tour with family?

We started by picking the destinations that are most loved by our travelers. In addition to the many highlights found in these amazing cities, we can organize experiences that will truly make for a wonderful time, even for the most reluctant teen, tween or toddler. Here is just a sample of what you add to your family’s tour:

  • Up close experiences with a panda at one of the research centres. We can even organize a hands on volunteer experience
  • Bike riding on the Xi’an city wall. Let your kids ride solo or make it extra fun with a tandem bike.
  • China is rich in craft traditions, including calligraphy and kite-making. Why not book your kids in for a class while on tour?
  • Are your kids into kung fu, or do they just love Kung Fu Panda? Whichever it is, the chance to participate in a lesson with a master will inspire them.
  • Experience an acrobatic spectacular at one of the incredible performances that showcase the very best in Chinese talent.

Another big bonus for families is the freedom to decide the pace you want. It means you can coordinate with your guide for pick ups, meal breaks, and time to explore.

Mar 2026 • Solo

I chose China Tours for an 11 day Beijing, Xi’an, Zhangjiajie tour and it was seamless. The travel agent, Lora, was attentive and committed to customer service throughout the planning stages.

Throughout the tour, I felt safe and comfortable with each driver and tour guide. The tour guides were knowledgeable, warm and so enthusiastic. I had such a lovely time - the Great Wall was one of the best days of my life.

Doing a tour in China is highly recommended as they have their own ecosystems (apps for purchases etc), and a tour made everything so much easier!

Tripadvisor score A Dream Come True

Feb 2026 • Couples

Following our recent retirement we wanted to fulfil our dream of seeing the Terracotta Army in Xi’an and Giant Pandas in Chengdu. We had a planned annual trip to Hong Kong over the Chinese New Year period so we wanted to add a trip to China by train. We knew it can be difficult to navigate around China for non mandarin speakers, but we also did not fancy being part of a large tour group, therefore we explored the possibility of a private tour. We did some online research and came across China Tours Xi’an. From the moment of our first contact, we were so impressed with the care and professionalism of our travel consultant Dora. She understood the key places we wanted to visit and she built a recommendation itinerary for us around them and to our amazement, we wouldn’t be just seeing giant pandas but would be keepers for the day at the Panda Base. A quotation was received promptly which covered the costs of hotel, private guide, private car/driver, admission costs, as well as train tickets between Xi’an and Chengdu. The booking was secured with a deposit payment with balance payable a month before the trip. Both of our tour guides Jenny at Xi’an and Andie at Chengdu were knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic. Our dedicated drivers and transports were excellent. Of course, we were not disappointed with the Terracotta Army, but Jenny’s useful hint in forgetting about personal space to get to the front for the best view ensured that we did get the best view even with the huge crowds! The giant pandas were the highlight, we fell in love with these fluffy bears, such delightful and gentle creatures. Thank you China Tours for making our dreams come true, a particular big thanks to Dora for coming to the rescue when our return journey to Hong Kong which was not organised by China Tours didn’t go as planned, your help and professionalism is so appreciated by us. We would highly recommend China Tours for visitors to China.

We used China Tours to plan a six day itinerary to cover the Great Wall and Terracotta Army. China Tours planned and executed a seamless experience that was just excellent! We saw and experienced far more than we had initially expected. The guides in both Beijing and Xi'an were excellent with an incredible knowledge.

Jan 2026

What an amazing trip in China. China tours did a fantastic job planning out my 12 day trip in China! Dora was very helpful in planning the trip and making adjustments as needed based on what type of experience I was looking for. Not only was she accommodating but she also went out of the way to help me get in contact with the orphanage institution that I was from in China. The main goal of this trip was to visit my home town that I grew up in and to explore China. Dora helped achieve those goals and made a great itinerary. We went to Beijing, Xian, Shanghai, Lishui, and Hong Kong. Everything went seamless and smooth and the private tour guides were amazing. I would highly recommend using China tours for visiting China!

Dec 2025

I went on a family trip in China, going from Hong Kong (arranged by us), to Guilin, Chengdu, Xi'an, and Beijing (arranged by China Tours). The agency provided us with hotels, guides, and transportation, and was available to answer our questions (we used emails and WeChat to communicate, but other options might be available). We generally had a wonderful trip, with very nice attractions, nice guides as well, and a good balance between attractions and personal time. I will recommend China Tours to my acquaintances that want to do a tour in China.

Dec 2025 • Couples

We had an amazing time in Beijing and it was our first trip to China. Glad that we chose China tours to organise the trip, thank you Martha!

Our guide, Li, and the driver Sun, were very attentive and helpful and they are insightful! Every day was fantastic, we were taken to the Great Wall at Mutianyu point and took chairlift up. We then took the Toboggan down which was so much fun.

The experience around Forbidden City was also mesmerising. It felt like stepping back in time. We love all the historical stories. Li also took us to the Summer palace where we saw beautiful paintings along the endless corridor and we walked alongside the frozen lake. They were on time but never rushed, so it was relaxing. The hotel, The Regent Beijing was fabulous, the room, the food, location all was perfect. Thank you for organising this trip and we had precious happy memories!
