There’s nothing more disappointing than finally going on a holiday you’ve spent months planning, only to realize that you’re being herded around like a flock of sheep in a large group, led by your well-meaning but impersonal guide.

However, there’s a much more enjoyable way to experience China, and that’s by opting for small group, private, or custom tours. These alternatives not only provide the chance to connect with a friendly and knowledgeable local but also offer a more personalized and intimate experience.

For our small group tours, we ensure that the number of participants is limited to 12 people, allowing for a cohesive and enjoyable journey with like-minded travelers. On the other hand, if you prioritize flexibility and want the tour to cater exclusively to you and your family or friends, then our private or custom tours are the perfect choice. Custom tours are especially ideal if you wish to create a unique adventure tailored to your preferences.

Numerous reviews from Western travelers who have chosen these options attest to their popularity and the level of satisfaction they bring. So, if you’re seeking recommendations for your first trip to China, here are our CEO’s top suggestions to make your journey truly memorable.
