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.
  • Adjoining hotel rooms and extra beds – For your convenience, family friendly accommodation can be arranged for your China family adventure. When making your booking, simply let us know if you require adjoining hotel rooms and extra beds, and our team of friendly China tour consultants will take care of every detail.
  • Centrally located hotels  – After a day of touring, it’s good to know there’s not far to go to access food options that suit family mealtimes and budgets. With all our four and five star hotels centrally located, there are numerous options, including Western cuisine in your hotel.
  • Access to hotel facilities – Need some quiet time while on China family adventure? You and your family can take advantage of the hotel’s facilities. Relax by the pool, order room service from the hotel robot, or just take time out in your room.

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.

Tripadvisor score AMAZING holiday in Yunnan Province

May 2026 • Couples

This is our second China trip with China Tours. Thank you for organising such a fantastic trip Martha! Five stars experience in every way. We chose China Tours again for our trip to Yunnan, after we had a fabulous time in Beijing last year. It’s a 10-day tour which started in Kunming, and then we went to Dali, Lijiang, and Shangri-la. From the moment we were picked up at Kunming airport, getting local sim card, dropped off at the hotel and the places we visited, everything was smooth and we were really taken care of.
The hotels were all excellent with great services and extensive options of breakfast included. The drivers were excellent, especially Mrs. Li who drove us from Dali to Lijiang and to Shangri-la, the car was very comfortable and spacious. We had different guides in every city, they are all very friendly, helpful, and they have deep knowledge of all the places we visited. Especially our guide Caroline from Lijiang and Tsesham from Shangri-la. We spent more time in Lijiang and Shangri-la so we had more time with our guides there. They are truly the experts of their respective cultures, they are attentive, insightful, very kind, and encouraging. We had so much fun! Thank you for making our holiday in China feel special and memorable.

May 2026

Cannot say enough about this tour. Booking was incredible easy, communication, fantastic we had the great guides, including Lee in Beijing, Helen in Xi’an, Tracy in Chengdu, and John in Shanghai. Everyone was ineligible and brought you perspective. Everything was arranged perfectly, including in country, airfare and high-speed rail we elected five star hotels, and we were not disappointed. I would highly recommend this company.

Tripadvisor score Amazingly organised tours with incredible people

Apr 2026 • Couples

Booked back to back tours through China to visit the must see places people always talk about. First tour for 10 days covered Beijing (included Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City and Mutianyu Great Wall), Xian (Terracotta Army), Zhangjajie (visit the national forest via Bailong Elevator and Tianmen Mountain) and ended in Shanghai (The Bund and Yuyuan Garden). Next tour commenced a couple of days later visiting Chengdu (can't miss the Pandas) and Lhasa in Tibet (including Drepung and Sera Monasteries and Potala Palace). Guides are all fantastic. Thank you Jessica, Chris, Cindy, Lucy, Raymond and Tashi for making it such a memorable trip. So much more to see and will have to have another visit. Some hiccups with flights (delayed departures, cancellations due to bad weather) but through it all Lora was there to help find emergency accommodation and re-book flights (and thank you to Lucy and Tashi who had to deal with 2:00am flights and returns to airports when flight couldn't land). If our experience with China Tours is indicative of the service they provide then I have nothing but admiration for the organisation.

Tripadvisor score Mervyn with China Tours was a fabulous tour guide.

Apr 2026 • Couples

We spent extraordinary two days in Xi’an organized by China Tours. Our guide, Mervyn, was the best. Her knowledge of the city and each historical site was amazing. She helped us maximize the limited time we had in Xi'an. Highly recommend Mervyn to anyone visiting Xi'an. ChinaTours did a fabulous job organizing wonderful tour guides and drivers n each city. If you are considering a trip to China, work with China Tours. You won't regret it.

Tripadvisor score Hectic trip but so well organised!

Apr 2026 • Couples

What a wonderful trip! I found China Tours and told them the places I'd most like to go to and things that I'd like to do! They organised it into an itinerary, booking guides and drivers for us at every place. We always felt looked after when arriving at a new airport or station, no panicking as to where to find our way! The guides were all very different: age personalities etc, but all very knowledgeable, friendly and adaptable to our requests! They had the tricks of the trade for getting us ahead in queues etc...a valuable resource in China!! But also the fact that all our park & site entrances were already purchased made each visit a seamless hassle free pleasure. The hotels booked for us were nearly all 5 star with great locations and amenities. Hard to fault the services of China Tours! They helped us through a last day panic when our return flight had been changed, phoning airports and airlines to try snd sort out the problem...I wouldn't have known where to start! We probably tried to fit too much into the time, but we had a brilliant holiday.

Tripadvisor score Epic tour, exceeded expectations

April 2026

We planned a 2 week trip, 5 cities, 3-day Yangtze cruise, and mountains / forest national park. Our tour planner, Dora, was super flexible and helpful in building the itinerary to meet all our desires (via WeChat). The execution was perfect, with English speaking local guides at every city. Choosing a private tour worked great for us given everything we wanted to do. And we did more, besides planned top attractions (Great Wall, Terracotta Warriors, temples, etc), we added a show, a cave with underground River and managed to do some shopping (note: ours was a NO shopping tour by design). All local guides were great, knowledgeable, kind and helpful. Special Kudos to Vivienne (Zhangjiajie) for climbing 999 steps with at Tianmen Cave. We loved our trip and fully recommend China Tours.
