China Private Tours 2026

Here are just a couple of ways a private tour offers more flexibility than a small group tour:

• Travel any day – While our small group tours are scheduled to depart on specified days, on a private tour, you are free to choose travel dates according to your needs. That’s right, travel arrangements are made to suit you.
• Change up the tour’s daily activities – Discovered a special museum or attraction not included on the itinerary? Need a rest at the hotel before the afternoon’s exploration? No problem. Your guide will adjust the day’s schedule to accommodate small changes that don’t affect travel arrangements between destinations. You can even decide the start and finish time for the day’s itinerary, allowing you to sleep late or finish early, if that’s what you’d prefer.

Delivering maximum flexibility, a private tour is really all about you making the most of your time in China, without having to accommodate the needs of other travelers.

Until you’ve traveled with a private guide, it can be hard to appreciate the benefit of genuinely personalized one-to-one service. In a country with a vastly different language, culture, history, and cuisine, a guide offers western travelers a unique perspective. Time spent together on tour helps build bridges of understanding between people that might seem difficult when people and places are only observed remotely. 

Traveling with a private guide may be the only time people from other countries experience the opportunity to connect with local Chinese people in their daily life. This alone fosters more appreciation for each other and the respective origins of each person. ChinaTours.com is committed to building bridges of understanding between people and we rely on our network of trusted private guides to help us realize this goal.

Having collaborated with numerous four and five star accommodation providers, we enjoy offering our private tour customers flexible options when it comes to hotel selection.

Of course you can choose from the international four and five star hotel chains, or you may want to get creative and make your China holiday stay something extra special. Whether you’re after a China Airbnb experience, a night in a traditional local residence, like a Beijing Siheyuan, time in a luxury boutique hotel or a local village guesthouse, we can bring your travel dreams to life. Just ask us!

As food lovers, we totally understand that enjoying local regional cuisine is part of the adventure, and it’s the main reason we provide our customers with flexible dining options on a private tour.

For the duration of your private tour of China, take advantage of the opportunity to choose what and where you’ll eat. Meals are not included in tour costs, as we appreciate individual travelers have their own preferences. If you’re a culinary adventurer and ready to explore China’s rich and diverse cuisine, freedom of meal choice is the ultimate way to indulge your taste senses.

Equally, we can assist travelers with specific dietary needs, by developing a meal plan in advance that ensures you travel with complete peace of mind while on tour.

Every effort is made to design tours that become beautiful travel memories. It’s this vision for our customers which means we are happy to arrange an itinerary that is tailored to your specific interests. Fascinated by Chinese architecture? We’ll add extra visits to traditional and modern buildings. Amazed by China’s remarkable history? Let’s organize more museum visits. Think you might like to try your hand at cooking over a wok? How about some Chinese cooking lessons. Wondering whether acupuncture or cupping therapy could ease your aching tired feet after a day’s exploration? We can arrange a visit to a traditional Chinese medicine clinic if your interests lie in health and wellness.
