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.

Nov 2024 • Couples

We worked with Martha from China Tours.she was terrific in making all the arrangements. She was available by WeChat when we arrived in China. Hotels were top notch. The guides in each city were friendly and personable: . Ariel in Beijing , Elyshia in Xian and Warren in Shanghai. The guides assisted us at the airports or train station. Cars were comfortable. We chose China Tours because we were not interested in “ shopping tours “. We liked the guided visits to historic sights but liked having some free time to explore on our own. Would certainly use them again for future trips to China.

Dec 2024 • Family

We just returned from a 15 day trip around China. Leading up to the holiday China Tours helped us immensely by providing feedback and information regarding our itinerary and told us about all the apps required to get by in China. We had 3 day tours with China Tours in Beijing, Xi’an and Chengdu with the amazing guides Kevin, Helen and Tracy who were very informative (spoke very good English) and took us to all the essential sights in China. China Tours went above and beyond to create an incredible experience for us which we will remember forever.

Tripadvisor score 35 day personalised trip of China & Tibet

Oct 2024 • Friends

2 couples just completed a 35 day tour of China using individual English speaking local guides in each area we visited. We planned what we wanted to see and China Tours organised all the linguistics. We travelled by bullet train, cars & a plane to access areas not included in group tours. China Tours also provided us with some smaller boutique hotels at our request, which were amazing. The difference in cost for this personalised tour was great value. All the guides and drivers were very experienced and did their best to give us the most enjoyable experience. China Tours head office representative was always available on WeChat for any questions or changes which could effect our trip. (Such as a typhoon in Hong Kong on our last 2 days) As very experienced self guided travelers we would highly recommend China Tours in a country where the language & logistics are challenging.
