Best China Private Tours

Explore our private China tours – Ideal for those traveling solo, as a couple, family, or with friends.

If you think private tours of China are not for you, think again. You may find yourself just a little surprised at how affordable and fun it is to explore with a private tour guide. China is a big and busy place, let’s face it. And while small group tours offer the chance to mix with like-minded travelers, they don’t suit everyone. Private tours of China with your own private tour guide offer that little extra for people who need or want additional flexibility, without the concern they are causing inconvenience for other travelers.

How do you know if private China Tours are right for you?

Our private tours are a flexible travel option for those wanting to take one of our small group tours – but as a private group. Customers who have explored with us on our private tours tell us flexibility and personal attention are two big draw-cards for selecting this travel option over small group tours.

For solo travelers, a private tour provides the reassurance that you will be guided by someone with knowledge and experience to keep you safe. For couples – maybe you’re on a honeymoon – a private tour is a great option if you like to keep to yourselves. Families or friends traveling as a group will appreciate that they needn’t be concerned about keeping to a timetable dictated by someone else; a factor that’s especially important for those with children of any age, or if there are more mature travelers in your group.

If the idea of private guides and drivers, flexible itineraries and departure dates holds appeal, then why not check out the selection below. Take in the sights of China at a relaxed pace, customize according to your interests, explore your way.

It’s all yours on our private tours of China!

Looking for flexibility? Find it on a private tour of China

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.

Experience personalized one-to-one service

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.

Stay in comfort and unique style on your private China tour

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!

Make local Chinese cuisine part of your adventure

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.

Want to create a richer experence? We can help!

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.

Tripadvisor score Once in a life time. Don’t miss it!

Oct 2025 • Friends

We love China Tours, and glad we chose them.

So far, we’re having a wonderful experience with our tour guide, Helena, in Hong Kong. She is incredibly knowledgeable, speaks excellent English, and shared so much fascinating information about every place we visited. She took us to many interesting and beautiful locations that we might never have discovered on our own. Throughout the day, she was patient, kind, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Her professionalism and friendly personality made the tour both enjoyable and memorable. We are very grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Hong Kong, and we can’t wait to visit China too!

Oct 2025 • Couples

This is the fourth time I write this review because tripadvisor keeps saying it was made using AI. As a non-native English speaker, I used AI to give Cathy the highest praise I could for taking care of us during our trip to Xi'an. She's the best and takes care of every single detail. To Cathy my biggest thanks and to tripadvisor and its insipid AI I hope you detect a drop in content creation due to this.

Sept 2025 • Solo

I was a little nervous- never been to Asia, never used this company etc but WOW. I was completely blown away by the service. I booked the two week tour that included Beijing- Xi-an Yangtze cruise- Zhangjiajie and Shanghai. The hotels were fabulous. The transportation included two high speed trains, plane, and private driving service. The guides were top notch and stayed with us until we were on the train and another met us at the other end when we stepped off. Our group was small so we were mobile and able to navigate easily. There wasn’t any shopping stops.

Tripadvisor score Great time in China

Sept 2025 • Solo

I traveled through China with China Tours from Sep. 11th to 25th and had a great time. I visited Beijing, Xian, Chongqing, Yangtze river cruise, Zhangjiajie and Shanghai. Everything went smoothly and the tour guides are really helpful and professional. It would be fair to mention their names, just to give them their due: Lee in Beijing, Helen in Xian, Winnie in Chongqing, Lucy in Zhangjiajie and John and Cici in Shanghai. There are many highlights in a country like China, but from a foreigner's point of view maybe Chongqing stands out clearly, if only for unusual, and touring with Winnie, with her deep knowledge of the city made for a great experience.

Sept 2025 • Solo

I had a fantastic trip in China. I was met by 4 different guides in China in each city. In Beijing, I was met by Lindsey , in Xian By Linda, Warren in Shangai and Mathew in Hong kong. They were all very professional and I enjoyed the stories. You have a beautiful country and a lot of history I will definitely recommend China Tours. I met some wonderful people too. The highlight of the tour was surprising my son Jason in Hong Kong as he was celebrating his 30th 🥰

Tripadvisor score The best tour I have ever had

Sept 2025 • Solo

Usually I only write negative reviews, but this time it is an exception. Unfortunately I can give only 5 stars, but the company deserves 100 stars. Everything was exceptional, from organizing starting with some places I had in mind to visit, to every single detail of the trip. In other words it was perfect. I chose what I wanted to visit and Martha, the person who replied to my first inquiry, proposed the tour. I wanted to be alone in the tour, which is the best (only you and the guide), but maybe due to the requests, in two places I was with another couple from USA, which was really great. While on tour I realized that there are places I want to visit, but there was no time for this. This means next year I have to come back, but this time I will be alone. There are some things when you have to be alone, no matter how nice the other group members are. Of course if I will come back, I will use China Tours.
