Good questions to ask us.
Do you only operate in Beijing, Shanghai and Xi'an?
No. Those are the cities where our offices are. We plan and operate private tours throughout China, across all seven regions listed on this page.
Which regions can you plan?
North China, Northeast China, East China, Central China, South China, Southwest China and Northwest China, including Tibet and Xinjiang. Some areas need permits or have additional entry rules, which we confirm in your written quote.
Do you cover Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan?
This page covers mainland China. Tell us your plans and we confirm what we can arrange for your itinerary.
Can I combine several regions in one trip?
Yes. Many private routes link two or three regions by high-speed rail or domestic flight, for example Beijing, Xi'an and Shanghai, or Chengdu and Zhangjiajie. We design the order around your dates and pace.
Where do I start if I do not know where to go?
Start with what you want to experience: history, scenery, food, pandas or the Silk Road. Tell us, and we propose regions and a route. Our guide to the best places to visit in China for the first time also helps.
