Is this a fixed package or can it be customized?

It is a complete private journey framework. Hotels, room types, train class, vehicle size, sightseeing order and final quotation are confirmed around your dates and group.

Can you arrange halal food in Xi'an and Beijing?

Yes. Share halal, vegetarian, allergy, spice and prayer-timing requirements before quotation so restaurants and daily timing can be checked properly.

How do we travel from Xi'an to Beijing?

The route uses high-speed rail when the schedule suits your dates. Your written proposal names the train, station transfers, seat class and expected journey flow.

Is the Great Wall suitable for older travelers?

It can be suitable when the section, start time, cable-car option, rest points and walking expectations are reviewed honestly. Uneven ground and steps remain part of the experience.

Breakfast is included when stated in the written proposal. Lunches and dinners can be arranged around dietary preferences and paid directly unless specifically included.

Are there compulsory shopping stops?

No. This journey has no compulsory shopping stops. Any market or neighborhood visit is included for cultural interest and remains optional.

Can the trip be extended?

Yes. Add Beijing nights, a slower Wall day, more time in Xi'an or another destination when your wider China plans require it.

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.

Guests on the pace and comfort

“What I appreciated most was that AVIORA didn't make us feel like difficult clients. We had quite a few preferences—hotel location, food, amount of walking, free time and the general pace—and every time we raised something, the response was practical rather than defensive.”

Megan Collins, Chicago, USA · Read the full review

“The hotels were elegant and comfortable rather than flashy. The guide was professional but personable. The vehicle was private and comfortable, but the overall atmosphere remained relaxed.”

Rebecca Hall, Dublin, Ireland · Read the full review

“We had a fantastic trip overall, although one day was more ambitious than we would have chosen ourselves. What mattered was how AVIORA responded. When we mentioned that we preferred a slower rhythm, they didn't simply say the itinerary had already been fixed. They adjusted the following day and made the pace more comfortable.”
