How much does this 10-Day Private Golden Triangle Tour cost?

Pricing ranges from US$3,800 to US$6,500 per person (all prices are in US dollars), and the tour starts from US$3,800 per person. Where you land in that range depends on your hotel selection, the season you travel and your party size, for example a couple compared with a multi-generational family. The price includes nine nights in central hotels (three in Beijing, three in Xi'an, three in Shanghai), private guiding in every city, door-to-door Mercedes vans, First Class bullet trains with luggage-free station transfers, the VIP airport welcome and departure escort, the gondola, electric carts, cruises and private boats listed in the itinerary, and the 24/7 international medical channel. International flights, visa fees, travel insurance, meals not listed in your proposal and personal expenses are not included. Your written proposal sets the exact price for your dates before you pay.

Is this Beijing, Xi'an and Shanghai tour suitable for seniors?

Yes. It is designed for mature travellers and multi-generational families: every day has a step budget, you are back at the hotel by 3:30 PM, vehicles are door to door, and luggage is carried for you on the trains.

Can I visit the Great Wall without climbing stairs?

On this journey the Mutianyu day uses an enclosed 8-person gondola that goes directly to Watchtower 14, a flat brick platform. Your guide carries a portable seat for rests.

How many steps will we walk each day?

Each day has a stated budget: for example under 1,500 steps on arrival and departure days, under 3,500 on the Great Wall day and under 4,000 on the Forbidden City and Terracotta Army days. The budgets are shown on each day of the itinerary.

What if I need medical help while travelling?

You have 24/7 access to our international medical channel, which connects you directly with English-speaking international departments at leading hospitals.

What happens with our luggage on the bullet trains?

You carry nothing. Station porters take your suitcases from the hotel room to the train racks through the VIP elevator channel, and your guide handles both stations.

Can you cater for gluten-free, low-sodium or other dietary needs?

Yes. We coordinate directly with the chef at each meal for gluten-free, low-sodium, low-oil and other dietary needs, and confirm this in writing before you travel.

Are the restrooms suitable for older travellers?

We verify step-free, clean, seated Western toilets in advance at every stop on the route.

How soon will I receive a proposal?

A China-based specialist replies, normally within a day, with a detailed itinerary and a written, individually priced proposal for your travel window, pace and dietary needs.

Who is this journey designed for?

It is designed for travelers visiting China for the first time who want expert guidance, comfortable central hotels, and a calm rhythm: couples, friends, and families traveling with parents or older teenagers, mostly from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. It is a poor fit for travelers on a tight budget, for those who want a fixed group departure with new friends, or for experienced hikers who want remote, off-the-path walking.

Who will guide us, and what languages do your guides speak?

A licensed local specialist leads each city, because expertise is local: in Beijing, a guide steeped in imperial history and architecture; in Xi'an, one who knows Qin and Tang archaeology and the city's food; in Shanghai, one who can explain a century of trade, design and change. Guides lead in English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Italian, Japanese, Chinese or Thai, at a professional level, so you are not relying on someone's holiday English or a translation app. Tell us your language and interests when you enquire, and your written proposal names the guide and language for each city before you pay.

Will we have the same guide throughout?

You will have a different local expert in each city, because the best Beijing guide is not the best Xi'an guide, plus one China-based coordinator who plans your route and whom you can reach while you travel. A driver and vehicle are with you on every sightseeing day. Your guide and driver at the next city meet you at the station or airport, so there is never a gap in the handover.

Is 10 days enough for Beijing, Xi'an and Shanghai?

Yes, at a slow pace. The route uses three nights in each city, gives the Great Wall its own morning, leaves your arrival day free for jet lag, and keeps the travel days light with a 3:30 PM hotel return on most days. It does not add Chengdu or pandas; for that, the 12-day four-city route gives more room. If you have extra days, we can add them at either end.

When is the best time to go?

Spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) are generally the most comfortable for all three cities. Summers are hot and humid, especially in Xi'an and Shanghai, and Beijing is cold in winter. The Golden Week holiday in early October and the Lunar New Year period are the busiest and most expensive times, with crowded sights and harder hotel and train availability, so we recommend booking early if you travel then.

Do I need a visa for China?

Entry rules depend on your passport and can change, so we do not guess. When you enquire we confirm what applies to your nationality, send you a clear checklist, and tell you the documents to prepare. Visa fees are not included in the price.

How do I pay, use my phone and stay connected in China?

Your guide shows you how to do all of this on day one. Foreign credit cards can be linked to China's main mobile payment apps, and your guide helps you set that up; many hotels and larger restaurants also accept foreign cards, and small amounts of cash are still useful. Google, WhatsApp and some other apps are blocked on local networks, so most travelers install an international eSIM or ask their home carrier about roaming before departure. We send a short pre-trip guide with exactly what to do.

Is China safe for tourists, and what about health?

Violent crime against tourists is rare; the practical risks are petty theft in crowds, taxi touts and busy traffic, and your guide and driver keep you clear of the usual ones. Drink bottled water, and tell us about allergies, medications or mobility needs so that we can plan around them. We recommend travel insurance that covers medical care and cancellation. Air quality varies by season, and your guide adjusts outdoor time on poor days.

Can this route work for older parents or children?

Yes. Private guiding lets us adjust walking blocks, rest windows, vehicle support and meal timing around the people traveling. At the Great Wall we choose Mutianyu and its cable car and keep the climb as short as you like; at the Forbidden City and the Terracotta Army we plan seating and rest stops, since both involve a lot of standing. Tell us about mobility, ages or dietary needs before we finalize the plan.

What about food, allergies and dietary needs?

Tell us before you travel about vegetarian, gluten-free, halal or allergy needs, and your guide briefs each restaurant and orders with you. Meals are chosen for flavor and comfort, not for tour groups: Peking duck in Beijing, a dumpling banquet in Xi'an, xiaolongbao in Shanghai. We always give you a safe plain option.

How are the hotels selected?

Every night is in a Hilton-category or equivalent hotel in the most convenient central area for that city, chosen for short transfers and easy mornings. The actual properties and room categories appear in your written proposal before you book.

Is shopping required?

No. The route is designed around history, local life, food, architecture and personal pace. Shopping is never a condition of the tour, and your guide will not steer you to commission stops.

Is this a fixed package?

No. This is a private route with a clear structure, not a fixed group departure. We confirm the hotels, daily timing, transport details and accessibility needs around your dates and group, and your proposal can swap experiences to suit your group.

Can I add Chengdu pandas, Guilin or another city?

Yes. Popular additions are Chengdu for giant pandas, Guilin for the Li River, and Zhangjiajie. We build them in around your dates, and the 12-day four-city route already adds Chengdu.

When is my private China tour booking confirmed?

Your booking becomes binding only after the written travel contract and booking terms are accepted, the required initial payment is received in cleared funds, and AVIORA confirms the booking and relevant supplier arrangements in writing.

What payment and cancellation terms apply?

Your written proposal or booking confirmation states the currency, payment schedule, due dates, change conditions and cancellation schedule before you commit. Some hotels, transport tickets and special experiences may become non-refundable once booked or issued.

Pricing transparency

Starting fromUS$3,800/ person

All prices are in US dollars (USD)

Pricing varies with your hotel selection, the season you travel and your party size, for example a couple compared with a multi-generational family. Your written proposal sets the exact price for your dates before you pay.

Hotel selection: The hotel category you choose in each city is the largest single factor.
Seasonal timing: Public holidays and peak months cost more than quieter periods.
Party size: The private van and guide are shared, so a couple and a multi-generational family are priced differently.

Typical range: US$3,800–US$6,500 per person

Your guides: an expert in every city, in your language

Expertise is local, so each city is led by its own licensed specialist, not one generalist who covers the whole route. We match guide and language to your group before you pay, and your written proposal names both for every city.

BeijingA guide steeped in imperial history and architecture, who can read the Forbidden City's axis, the Temple of Heaven's rituals and the Wall's military purpose, and who knows how to pace a first-time visitor through all three.
Xi'anA specialist in Qin and Tang archaeology who explains the Terracotta Army as evidence rather than spectacle, and who also knows where Xi'an eats.
ShanghaiA guide who can explain a century of trade, architecture and change, from the Bund's colonial banks to Pudong's towers, and who leads you through the lanes and the food as comfortably as the landmarks.
