Private China Tours with Exclusive Services, Dedicated and Worry Free

Traveling through China is an experience through vibrant cultures, thousands of years of history, and breathtaking landscapes. For discerning travelers who seek comfort, flexibility, and a deeper connection to the places they visit, Private China Tours with exclusive services offer the ideal ways to explore this fascinating country.

Itinerary tailored entirely on your own terms

A private tour of China is not just a vacation, it’s a curated experience tailored entirely to your interests, pace, and preferences. Whether you want to stand in awe before the Great Wall at sunrise, explore the Terracotta Warriors with less crowds, or cruise along the Li River amid stunning karst peaks, a private tour makes it possible and comfortable. With a licensed professional guide and a personal driver at your service, you’ll avoid the hassles of group travel while gaining insider access to off-the-beaten-path places and local experiences. An obvious advantage of exclusive private China tours is personalized itinerary planning. From the moment you inquire, a dedicated travel specialist (CET’s Travel Consultant) works with you to design a trip that reflects your tastes. Love ancient history? Your itinerary might include extended stays in Beijing, Xi’an, Luoyang and Shanxi. Prefer natural landscapes? Guilin and Zhangjiajie would be scheduled. Favor modern urban life mixed with luxury shopping and gourmet food? Shanghai and Chengdu will shine on your custom map. With private tours, you’re never locked into a standard plan, your trip evolves around you.

Meet the needs of most types of travelers

Private China tours are also available in different styles to meet the needs of most types of travelers. China family tours are perfect for those exploring with children or multi-generational groups, with activities that entertain, educate, and engage all ages, from panda encounters to hands-on dumpling-making classes. For travelers with mobility challenges or special requirements, accessible China tours ensure barrier-free experiences, with wheelchair-friendly transportation, accessible hotel rooms, and thoughtful, inclusive planning. Meanwhile, photography lovers can opt for China photography tours, guided by local photo experts to capture the perfect light over rice terraces, ancient towns, and iconic cultural landmarks.

Comfort/luxury and seamless service

Another key benefit is luxury and comfort. Private tours often include stays in five or four-star hotels, boutique heritage properties, or even carefully selected homestays for an immersive touch of local charm. Travel between cities is seamless, whether by private car/van, high-speed train, or short domestic flights arranged for your convenience. Every detail is handled, from luggage transfers to VIP airport meet-and-greet services.

Unique experiences

But what truly sets exclusive private tours apart is the access to unique experiences. Imagine a private Tai Chi class on the ancient city walls of Xi’an, a chef-led food tour through the backstreets of Chengdu, or a tea ceremony with a master in picturesque Guilin. These are the kinds of unforgettable moments that turn a good trip into a transformative one. Private guides, often handpicked for their deep knowledge and warm personalities, provide cultural context that enriches every stop.

24/7/365 support

Moreover, private China tours offer peace of mind, essential in a vast and culturally rich country. With 24/7/365 support, flexible scheduling, and experienced local teams, you’ll feel supported and safe throughout your trip. Private China Tours provide a sophisticated, stress-free and deeply rewarding way to discover China. Whether you’re a first-time visitor, a family looking for shared memories, a traveler needing accessible options, or a photographer chasing the perfect shots, these customized tours open doors to experiences that are as inspiring as they are personal. Let China’s wonders unfold at your own rhythm, on your own private path.

We had a wonderful trip down the LiRiver near Guilin with China Expeditions, and had a lot of fun at the rice terraces!

We finally have some free time on our last night in China to thank you for so much. It is with a mixture of joy and sadness that we come to the end of our journey to China. We have become more than just business partners putting together an itinerary for a trip; we've become friends.

Our first thank you is for the wonderful dinner we had at your place last week. It was one of the highlights of a trip that had so many. We enjoyed the food, meeting Heather, taking a walk around your neighborhood, and having the opportunity to "catch up" on things.

We also want to thank you for the hard work you put in making the arrangements for us, especially the accommodations for Miriam--the motorized chair (which was a godsend), the walk-in showers in each hotel, easy access to the many sites we saw, including the Great Wall.

All of the guides--David, Richard, Alex and David, and Stacy--were all great. They were all excellent and in a few days we became very comfortable with each one. It was sad to part ways with them. Alex and David said they want to visit us in Florida.

Also, all of the drivers were outstanding, though we'll never get used to how the cars and motorcycle weave in and out of traffic.

Finally: this is not good bye. On occasion we will write to you, not on business, but on a personal note.

Be well, enjoy living in such a wonderful country. Our fondest wish is for our governments and people to learn to live together in peace and friendship.

Yours always,

David and Miriam

Guilin and Yangshou were our favorite part of our trip to China.The scenery was breathtaking and the river cruise down the river was the highlight of our trip. Our tour organizer Chanel with China Expedition was beyond amazing! She would make sure to point out every detail, took great care of us and was truly wonderful. I can't praise her enough and would recommend anyone to ask for arrange tour.The countryside in Yangshou is beautiful and we rode mopeds around the fields and mountains. We spent one night at the Yangshou Mountain Retreat hotel on the river and wished we could have spent another couple of nights there. It is on a perfect spot on the river with the beautiful mountains as a backdrop. So relaxing!

It was all so wonderful - and the home stays were the best!! What an amazing opportunity that was for us to get a more real experience of being in China. If I were younger I would want to learn Chinese and go live there for a year or so. As I age I feel a strong sense of wanting to know what the world really is and will be like when I'm gone. I want to feel that there's good hope for understanding and peace in the world --- --- and I so felt that among the people we met there. How could all those hardworking, intelligent and kind folks, who are striving to do their best and who care so much about their children, put up with anything but the best of opportunities? I'm not worried for two generations from now, and maybe only one.

The sheer bigness of buildings and squares and traffic and crowds was impressive to me especially too, in the ways that somehow it all appeared to be working in usually peaceful and often exciting ways.

And of course the cutting edge of things is always exciting to experience - Shanghai being especially great for that. Besides the variety and creativity in the tall buildings and the amazing Shanghai Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art there was mind-blowing to me. With a beautiful exhibit of art by emerging young artists, the works were often both quite delicate and also wrenching - most stimulating! I wondered if there was much censorship and if it didn't somehow make for greater discipline and help to create art that was more deeply meaningful.... and of course with the rich history of art you all have under your skin somewhere...I haven't been moved so much by an art exhibition in a long time.

We had an amazing trip, thank you so much for all your hard work in putting together our itinerary. All the guides were wonderful and their knowledge was incredible. They could not do enough for us and were always punctual, polite and fun.The hotels were very well chosen, great locations, rooms were beautiful and food was abundant.

We even had an upgrade on arrival in Bejing which was a lovely way to start our holiday. By the time Peter had finished with us in Bejing, I think I knew all there was to know about the Emperors and Dynasties. What would have helped would have been a “Time Line” brochure, so we could refer to which period was being talked about and where each Emperor fit in as there was so much to remember. Although we had a very full itinerary, I would have liked to see the Silk Road Markets in Bejing, I hear they are very interesting.The terracotta Soldiers in Xien were far more impressive than I had thought they would be. Grace was such a lovely Guide and obviously very proud of her job and what she has to show her guests.While we were in Guilin Amber suggested we take the chair lift to the top of a mountain and view Guilin from there. I am so glad we did, it was amazing.

Bevan came back down on the chairlift and I decided to take the louge with Amber, it was so much fun, even for someone my age (54).As we were a little early for the acrobatic show in Shanghai, Colin very kindly took us to a wonderful shopping precinct close by to the theatre, this was very much appreciated and I believe should be added to the itinerary. Colin also suggested we take the night cruise which we loved, Shangahi is so beautiful at night and what a great way to see it. The “Mag Lev” train to the airport was fantastic, my husband had always wanted to do this and was not disappointed, I think this should be offered as an extra when selling Shanghai.

All our drivers were fantastic. We felt safe at all times even though the traffic in China was very different to what we are used to. The only thing that would
have been nice was to return to a cool vehicle, although this was not always possible I am sure.

The only thing that I was sometimes disappointed with was the choice of lunch venues. We chose your company because it was for small groups or in our case, only two people, and in some places we were in large dining rooms with large groups of tourists. I am sure these places are chosen for their locations and the food which was served which was wonderful.

We had a most wonderful holiday and I will most certainly recommend China Expedition Tours to everyone. I do hope we can visit China again very soon.

Kindest regards
Jenny and Bevan
