Before you choose a route

Common questions

Are these private or group China tours?
Every ChinaTourly route is a private China tour only. Routes are designed by planners based in the region you visit.
Can I change the length or pace of a private China tour?
Yes. Every signature route is a starting template; length, pace, hotel class, rest days and workshop choice are adjustable.
How does pricing and payment work for a private China tour?
Each route shows a base price plus a clearly-explained seasonal surcharge (Spring Festival and National Day +50%, other Chinese public holidays +20%). Full payment saves 20%; the deposit plan saves 10% with 20% due today and the balance before departure.
