Our Approach

Our Approach

Discover ChinaTours.com approach to exploring Indochina

We’re here to help you make beautiful travel memories on your Indochina adventure with us

Rather than take a more and cheaper is better approach, we carefully curate our selection of Indochina tours based on a commitment to providing our customers with the most enjoyable and enriching experience of the countries they visit in Indochina. Nobody wants to feel like they’re a commodity, herded between hotels, highlights – and then back again. When we’ve invested in a travel experience, like an Indochina tour, you want to feel you’re special; that you’re looked after.

We get it! We’re travelers too. As part of our approach to designing and creating experience-rich tours, we visit the destinations, stay in the hotels, talk to the guides, and eat in the restaurants. We’ve walked in your shoes.

Why? Because we care – we truly care about your experience when you travel with us.


We look after every detail of your Indochina tour

Visiting countries in Indochina like Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam opens up the door to new worlds. Why then wouldn’t you want a real experience of these countries? If genuine and authentic is where you’re at with your travel, then let us help create your next adventure the Indochina Escapes way.


You’ll discover real Indochina with us

We understand one of the best things about travelling is talking about the experience after the tour is over. We’re committed to creating beautiful travel memories every time you tour with us.

Designing, creating, and delivering outstanding tours is what we do – and we’d love to share our experience with you.


You’ll appreciate our Local + Authentic shopping policy

Our team love a special travel memento as much as the next person, but we operate our tours based on a Local + Authentic shopping policy. We do this because we know our customers value experience, history, culture, and love an opportunity to buy local.

What does this mean for our customers? We provide shopping opportunities (free or guided time) for you on tour during which you can source local, authentic items created with care by regional artisans. Not only will you retain a bespoke item from your tour, you’ll be supporting sustainable trade with the local people.


Our Indochina tour guides speak your language

Traveling through multiple countries in Indochina, it’s reassuring to know that everywhere you go, you’ll be accompanied by fluent English-speaking guides. No getting lost between sights, meal ordering mistakes, or over paying for travel mementos.

Our travel consultants and guides must meet certified language requirements to work with us, giving you peace of mind your travel needs are well catered for – before, during, and after your Indochina adventure.


We care about the little things

A tour with us is synonymous with service excellence. While you travel with us, we want you to feel special. That’s why we care about the little things at every stage of your Indochina tour, from booking to follow up. Whether it’s an ordinary or extraordinary request, we’ll get it sorted for you.


Our price difference = beautiful memories

Customers who travel with us are people who are concerned about more than the price of their Indochina tour. Yes, price is a consideration, but more than that, they’re looking for an experience, the opportunity to travel comfortably, get up close with local cultures, and learn something along the way. Our customers are people who want to be enriched through travel. Knowing who we serve, we do everything possible to create tours that transform into beautiful travel memories for our guests.

We source premium partner providers for accommodation and travel. We do this because we understand the importance of making the most of your precious travel time. It’s also why we include centrally located accommodation, comfortable travel times (no pre-dawn starts), and small groups of 12 or fewer guests.

If you value flexibility, enjoyment, and enrichment, you’ll love our tours. Yes, there may be a price difference, but our customers tell us it’s so worth it.


Talk to real people who know their country

If you’ve traveled with a guide, you know they can make or break your travel experience. This is the main reason we take care to work with genuine local guides who are enthusiastic about their city and country and excited to share their knowledge and culture with you.

On your Indochina tour, your guide is there to assist with anything you need. Lost your phone? We’ll help you find it. Need help finding a bargain at the local markets? They’ll be right by your side. Looking for an authentic dining experience to remember? You only need ask.

We rely on our guides to make every destination come alive and regularly source customer feedback to see how they’re going. When you tour with us, you enjoy 24/7 direct telephone access to your English-speaking tour guide. No request is too small, so be sure to ask for what you need, regardless of whether it’s day or night.


Our travel schedules are relaxed, flexible and fun

While each Indochina tour has an itinerary, we make sure there is ample time for our customers to wander and discover within that schedule. After all, isn’t that when the best discoveries are made? In fact, this is one of the compliments we receive from people who’ve traveled with us previously . With ample opportunity for exploration, our guides will lead the way in discovery of the exotic, unusual, and interesting – all of which make for beautiful travel memories.

Travelling between destinations can be tiring so we create holidays to provide maximum enjoyment and comfort for you while on tour. We have a no early flights policy that means you’ll be well-rested and enjoy your next travel destination.


Our flexible meal policy =
Eat where and what you want

The food we enjoy while traveling forms a pivotal part of our travel memories, which is why we operate by our flexible meal policy for our customers. In addition to

We’re travelers too – and we love our food. We want you to experience the many diverse food options available in every destination. The bonus for you? Eat where and what you want (that’s right, you choose your own food) and enjoy maximum dining freedom and choice. And if you’re concerned about confusing local delicacies, you can relax. Our guides will share insider knowledge and take you to any restaurant you want to experience.


Your safety is our priority

We know traveling to countries in some countries can be a daunting prospect, so how can you know if you’ll be safe. We provide assurance to our customers that your safety is our priority and every guest enjoys the peace of mind of 24/7 direct access to their local guide via their mobile number.

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!

Tripadvisor score An unforgettable experience in Xi’an!

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.

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 🥰

I had an amazing tour of the main cultural attractions in Beijing with my tour guide Lee. The experience was so easy and fun with her guidance, sense of humour and suggestions of places to eat and experiences to try in addition of the tour. Highly recommended.

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.
