Tour Itinerary Facts

China is the 4th largest country in size and many must-see cities are spread across this vast country. Inevitably due to distances involved, you will spend part of your holiday travelling and we use flights whenever possible, as this is the quickest and most comfortable way to reach each destinations.

It is important to bear in mind, that China is a big country and we believe your holiday should be enjoyable, not an endurance race.

Our tours are arranged on a Small Group basis average 10 people per group, as we feel this gives our travellers more flexibility and enjoyment. By reducing the group size our experienced local guides are able to get to know you all individually and show you the true beauty of China. The tour price is calculated based upon a minimum of 6 travellers in 1 group. In the unlikely situation where the number is less than 6, we can still run the tour with slight modifications, or travelers will be offered an alternative tour, or the opportunity to travel on an alternative date.

Each day you have a tour activity (excluding any free time) our tour guide and driver will accompany you until you take your ongoing flight/train to the next destination, where you will be met and looked after by another local guide etc.

Sightseeing tours are generally by quality air conditioned mini van or air conditioned car (subject to group size) and cold bottled water is provided in the vehicle each day of the guided tours. Comfy shoes should be used for walking around various sightseeing locations. Please also refer to your itinerary for further specific details regarding your tour arrangements etc.
