Know What Is a Customize Tour
A tailor-made tour is designed to perfectly match your unique travel needs. Unlike group tours with set schedules, fixed accommodations, and attractions, a customized tour offers outstanding flexibility and personalization.
At China Travel, we ensure you enjoy a comfortable, flexible, and safe experience, all at competitive local prices.
With a Customized Tour, you have control over:
- Departure Date: Choose any date that fits your schedule.
- Destinations: Select any cities or attractions you want to visit based on your interests.
- Transportation: Opt for the best mode of travel between cities, whether it's by plane, high-speed train, or private van.
- Accommodation: Choose from a variety of options, from boutique inns to international standard hotels, ranging from 3-star to 5-star and beyond.
- Dining: Enjoy meals tailored to your dietary preferences, whether you need vegetarian, halal, Michelin-starred, or local street food options.
- Activities: Tailor activities to your needs, such as hiking, cycling, photography, home visits, cultural experiences, children's activities, or evening shows.
- Pace of Schedule: Decide whether you want an early start to catch the sunrise or a relaxed morning and whether your itinerary is packed or leisurely.
You can customize your plans before confirming payment and even make adjustments during the trip if your needs change.

Great family trip in Beijing
We had a great tour of Beijing and surrounding areas. Lily Liu, our guide, was an incredibly helpful presence, and we never felt like we needed anything. The hotel was nice, and transport and communication was seamless!
Great day in Suchzou and Tongli
Thanks to our guide Kenny! She was very welcoming and nice! Showed us Suchzhou in a very nice way. We visited the park, had a nice dinner in a restaurant that she chose for us (the food was great and atmosphere very warm) and visited Tongli water village. Her English is great, we understood her very well, and she was also very knowledgeable. Would totally recommend
Guilin and Yangshuo with Yang
Guilin and Yangshuo was a great experience with our travel guide Yang. Her local knowledge, experience and attention to detail is second to none. If you want to experience an off the beaten track tour and be one with nature then insist on Yang. We highly recommend Yang.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do I have to choose an existing China Travel itinerary?
Of course not. With our tailor-made service, you can choose to create a fully custom itinerary with the help of our expert travel advisor or modify one of our existing itineraries to suit your specific needs and interests.
For example, you can change hotels to boutique ones instead of international brands, opt for a deeper experience in a place, and try some new and exciting activities.
2. How much does a tailor-made travel cost?
It depends on factors such as your destination, transportation, accommodation, number of activities, itinerary, travel style, and the size of your group.
A tailor-made trip seems a little more expensive, but you pay the full price for your tour package, including hotels, meals, private guides, high-quality vehicles, flights/trains, and trip experiences as indicated.
If you want a more affordable option, we can also customize it for you. For example, partially exploring on your own and partially with a guide, changing hotels and transportation, etc.
Just tell us your needs and your professional travel consultant will tailor-make a suitable China trip for you.
3. How many days are suitable for a vacation in China?
It depends on your needs and how many destinations you plan to visit. We suggest you take around 1 - 2 weeks for your first China trip to cover the highlights of Beijing, Xi’an, and Shanghai.
No matter how many days you have even 1 day or 1 month long, just inform us of your needs, and we could make your vacation best at your wishes.
4. What is the minimum/maximum number for a customized tour?
This is a tailor-made tour exclusively for you, without any group size limitations. Whether you are just one person or a group of more than 50 people, we can arrange your trip according to your unique requests.
If you have a large group, we may provide 2 or more guides to ensure a better experience. Please get in touch with a tailor-made specialist consultant for more information.
