Private China Family Tours

The best time is in April, May, September and October when the weather is nicest. But honestly speaking, there is no absolute perfect time of year. There will be crowds during the high season and unpleasant weather during the low season. If you travel with infants or toddlers, choosing a time with pleasant climate would be more important. However for teenagers, just go when you can and make enough preparations. China is waiting for you all year around.

We will arrange a family oriented tour guide for you. Our guide will be patient and always sensitive to the needs of your family. Our guide will also take extra care of families with children. Also you will have the guides' cell phone number with you before you enter China.

If your destination includes Xian, you will have a chance to visit a local family and have lunch there. We will specially arrange dumpling-making for you. It will be a fun and bonding experience for your entire family.

We recommend Mutianyu Great Wall for families. You can take a cable car up to the wall. The children may like a toboggan (slide) ride down. The hike will be at a moderate pace lasting about 2 hours.

Children under 12 years old can enjoy preferential rates on land service and discount airfare. The majority of scenic spots only offer senior rates for those that hold Chinese Senior Card or equivalent ID Card. And not all scenic spots offer children rates. If you would like to have a try if children tickets would be available on the spot, we can remove ticket prices from the tour package leaving you to purchase entrance tickets fees on your own.

We use our carefully selected comfortable hotels for our China family vacation and we will take interconnecting rooms as the first consideration when booking hotel rooms for you. If not available, we at least promise adjacent rooms for you.

We choose kids-friendly activities. There are no adventurous elements in our tours. There would be some walking involved but usually no more than 2 hours. You can just talk with your guide anytime your kids need a rest. But of course, do not let your kids go out alone, keep them close by at all times.

We keep the time spent on driving to a minimum for leisure family holidays. Generally, the longest land transfer will be around 1.5 hours to 2 hours in our itineraries. And yes, there will be seat belt equipped vehicles.

For travelling to the cities included in our tours, there are no special conventions other than the basic social etiquette. If you have any questions, just follow advice from your local guides.
