What’s different about ChinaTours.com China family tours?

We understand traveling with a family can keep you busy, even on holidays regardless of the age of children. That’s why our China family tours have been designed to cater especially to the needs of families traveling in China. While our itineraries include many sights, attractions, and family friendly activities, we can always tailor your tour with additional destinations and inclusions.

Every China family tour includes:

  • Flexible itineraries that accommodate little feet – Delivered as a private tour, families can enjoy maximum flexibility with the timing of daily activities being more relaxed around family holiday timetables.
  • Optional fun activities – While our China family adventures are rich in sights, attractions, and some of China’s most exciting cities, we also offer families the option of including additional fun activities: kite-making, calligraphy, kung fu classes, special panda experiences and more.
  • Child safety seats in all transport vehicles – The safety of your family is our priority and we only work with vehicle transport operators who demonstrate impeccable safety records. We accommodate the special needs of families with young children, providing child safety seats as required.

Looking for a custom China family tour?

Some families love a sense of adventure and we can understand why. There’s a whole world to explore and China is rich in history, culture, and experiences. And it’s just one of the reasons we offer our customers the flexibility of designing their own custom family tour if our set itineraries don’t cover everything you want to see. Of course, there is always the option to travel to the destinations on these tours, which include Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai, Zhangjiajie, the Yangtze River, and Chengdu. However, if your family wants to explore more, we can arrange that with ease.

With a network across the country that extends to over 20 different destinations, we have just about every corner covered. And understanding that too many pagodas and temples might not captivate the minds of your little ones or teens, we’ll work with you to incorporate wonderful experiences that are designed to enrich them and build bridges of understanding between cultures. If you’re curious and would like to know more about our custom tours, simply get in touch with our friendly travel consultants.

Discover experiences that create beautiful family memories

We love sharing with our customers how much fun we had planning our China tours for families.

Here’s how we went about it. We thought: What would we like if we were on a China tour with family?

We started by picking the destinations that are most loved by our travelers. In addition to the many highlights found in these amazing cities, we can organize experiences that will truly make for a wonderful time, even for the most reluctant teen, tween or toddler. Here is just a sample of what you add to your family’s tour:

  • Up close experiences with a panda at one of the research centres. We can even organize a hands on volunteer experience
  • Bike riding on the Xi’an city wall. Let your kids ride solo or make it extra fun with a tandem bike.
  • China is rich in craft traditions, including calligraphy and kite-making. Why not book your kids in for a class while on tour?
  • Are your kids into kung fu, or do they just love Kung Fu Panda? Whichever it is, the chance to participate in a lesson with a master will inspire them.
  • Experience an acrobatic spectacular at one of the incredible performances that showcase the very best in Chinese talent.

Another big bonus for families is the freedom to decide the pace you want. It means you can coordinate with your guide for pick ups, meal breaks, and time to explore.

Tripadvisor score Wonderful Experience in Xi’an with Eric and China Tours

July 2026

China Tours is a great tour company and you can relax in China as they pick you up from the airport, lead you to the your hotel, and arrange your tours with an experienced guide and driver. If you visit Xi-an and get tour guide, Eric, you got lucky! Eric is extremely smart, diligent, and prepared as a tour guide. He speaks English well and also has a great sense of humor. Your whole family will enjoy his company. We had a great time seeing the Terracotta Warriors, attending the live show, riding bikes on the City Wall as well as visiting the Muslim District. I have to say Xi'an is very hot and humid in July but Eric has a positive attitude and works with you to make the trip pleasurable. He also has a magic Mary Poppins-type backpack where he is able to pull out things you need i.e. umbrella, tissues, his 1st grade homework, etc. I would say he was one of the best tour guides we have had!

Tripadvisor score Excellent Personal Tours of the Beijing and Xi’an regions

August 2026

We had two different guide/driver teams during our trip to China, one in Beijing from August 3–6 and another in Xi’an from August 6–8, and both were excellent.

In Beijing, our guide was Cynthia 常. She picked us up at the airport and was always on time, as was our driver. The driver had a newer Chinese electric sedan, which was very comfortable, and he was friendly and drove very well.

Cynthia was very helpful throughout the three days. She took us to all the main places we wanted to see, but she was also very flexible when we decided to change things around at the last minute. We never felt like we were being rushed through a fixed itinerary. She was also happy to help when we wanted to find local food rather than just eat at the usual tourist restaurants.

Cynthia and the driver also took us to the train station when we left Beijing, and when we arrived in Xi’an, Eric and our new driver were already there waiting for us. They were just as punctual and professional.

Eric had prepared some small trinkets for us to receive at some of the historical sites around Xi’an and Lintong. It was a small thing, but it was a nice and thoughtful touch.

We were particularly interested in trying local food, and both teams were very helpful with this. We had some great meals because of their recommendations. The river trout near the Great Wall was a particular favorite in Beijing, and of course the biang-biang noodles in Xi’an were a must.

We really appreciated having guides who were willing to listen to what we actually wanted to do instead of simply following a standard schedule. Both Cynthia and Eric were friendly, helpful and easy to travel with, and both drivers made us feel comfortable getting around.

I would definitely recommend Cynthia and Eric to other visitors, and I hope we get the chance to use them again if we return to China.

Tripadvisor score Our first time to China

July 2026

We have had a phenomenal trip with China Tours. We flew into Shanghai and we were met by Lucy at Customs. Three nights gave us plenty of time to see the sites in Shanghai, Suzhou and Tongli, the museum, a few gardens, park, French section, the Bund and the old section. The Hotel was gorgeous! Next we flew to Xi’an where we were met by Eric and our driver. Both Eric and Lucy are fluent in English. Both are incredible knowledgeable about their perspective cities. With Eric we visited the Terracotta Soldiers, and Goose Pagoda. I left my phone in the restroom of the Pagoda. I realized my phone was missing about 30 minutes and 35 miles later. Eric went the extra mile, my phone was found intact and after a special detour it was returned to me. If coming to Xi’an I recommend Eric as your guide. There is so much to see and do here! A natural hot springs, mountain trails, museums, the City wall!
I am very impresssed with how smooth our trip has been and how personalized it is. From the accommodations, the drivers, guides, tours, in country flights I am incredibly pleased with Chinatours and I recommend them highly.
