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 Joy was an absolute Joy

Sept 2026

Our trip to Xi’An was amazing and would not have been possible without the help of our tour guide, Joy. Joy was incredible in helping our family explore the Terracotta Warriors, Xi’An City Wall, and the Muslim Quarter. She also helped us in the market. I cannot recommend Joy enough!

Tripadvisor score Independent travel in China

Sept 2026 • Couples

We wanted to travel independently in China, but knew that there were some places we wanted a private guided tour. Dora from China tours was excellent! She found us guides and drivers for day tours tailored to our requirements in Beijing, Xian and Chengdu. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Dora was also extremely helpful and flexible when our plans changed. We knew she was always there for us! Would highly recommend Dora and China Tours

Tripadvisor score Chongqing tours with Jennie through China Tours

Sept 2026 • Couples

We booked our China trip through China Tours, and Dora was our main contact who helped organize our visit across three cities. She was very helpful throughout the planning process and made the arrangements easy for us.

For our Chongqing tour, we were very lucky to have Jennie as our guide. She was patient, organized, caring, knowledgeable, and just a genuinely nice person to spend the day with. She made the whole experience feel easy, relaxed, and enjoyable.

One of the things we really appreciated was how much effort Jennie put into taking pictures for us. She used her professional-grade cameras and captured so many great moments throughout the day. At times, it honestly felt like we had a professional photographer traveling with us, which made the experience even more special.

Jennie also went well beyond what we expected from a tour guide. She had already been in touch with us before the tour to help us prepare, and even after the tour had ended, she continued to look out for us. The next day, she reminded us a couple of times about a drone show in Chongqing so that we would not miss it. She did not have to do that at all, and we really appreciated how thoughtful and caring she was.

We really enjoyed our time with Jennie and were very happy with the support we received from Dora and China Tours as well. We would happily recommend China Tours, and especially Jennie, to anyone visiting Chongqing.

Tripadvisor score Excellent Tour and Outstanding Guides

August 2026 . Friends

We had a very good experience and would definitely recommend this tour. The itinerary was well paced, covered the major sights we wanted to see, and the logistics were handled very well.

The guides were the strongest part of the trip. Helen was exceptional; Robert, John and Smile were all knowledgeable, attentive and flexible. They worked hard to make the trip comfortable and adjusted when needed. Smile’s recommendation of the Beijing acrobat show was an unexpected highlight.

We loved the Great Wall, Forbidden City, Summer Palace, Terracotta Warriors, pandas and Shanghai Museum. The Peking duck experience was also excellent. Crowds were overwhelming at times, but that was beyond the tour company’s control.

There were a few areas for improvement; dietary restrictions needed better communication with restaurants, domestic airline baggage limits should be explained in advance, and we would have appreciated clearer instructions for high-speed train travel.

Overall, it was a memorable trip with excellent guides, good pacing and very well-managed logistics. We were very glad we chose this tour.
