CHINATOUR.uk plans private and small-group China trips for travellers from around the world, typically 7 to 15 days and built around Beijing, Xi’an and a third region. Itineraries include China Essentials (Beijing, Xi’an and Shanghai by high-speed rail), the Golden Triangle with the Chengdu panda base, Zhangjiajie’s Avatar mountains, Tibet with the entry permit handled for you, the Silk Road, a Culinary China route, a Yangtze River cruise and a 15-day Grand China Odyssey. Every trip is quoted for the traveller’s own dates rather than from a brochure: send your dates and budget and receive a day-by-day plan with real hotels and real prices, free of charge and within one working day. Travel is at a human pace – two or three sights a day, not eight – with English-speaking guides in every destination and a single contact on WhatsApp from first email to last day.
