Meet your own private China tour guide

As travelers who’ve organised tours in China for decades, we understand the important role a tour guide plays in creating great travel memories rather than providing a mediocre China tour experience.

Our China tour guides are much more than just the person who counts heads and organizes entry tickets to attractions. We know a China tour guide navigates the divide between cultures and people. Introducing China to the world is no small job. That’s why we think of our tour guides as cultural bridge builders. Playing a pivotal role in opening China up to the world, and creating understanding and relationships, our guides truly are people committed to helping you make beautiful travel memories on your China tour.

Why travel China with a tour guide?

ChinaTours.com carefully source each and every tour guide. Why? Because they have such an important job caring for the travellers who take our tours.
Here’s what you can expect from a ChinaTours.com tour guide:

Bilingual

All our China tour guides speak excellent English, making your tour an easy and enjoyable travel experience. Got questions? Just ask!

24/7 access

While travelling with ChinaTours.com you will have access to your private China tour guide through their direct mobile number 24 hours a day. Should you have any concerns or issues, your tour guide is your first port of call.

Experienced

Many of our tour guides are very experienced in leading tours with Western travellers. Some have even been working with ChinaTours.com for over a decade.

China experts

With such a lot of China to cover, we work with different guides in every location. This means you hear from a real local person, with detailed knowledge of their city and region. It also means you’re able to hear firsthand what life in China – past and present – is really like.

Take care of every detail

With an insider’s view, your private China tour guide will greet you on arrival, help order meals, answer questions, organise entry to attractions, and assist with check ins and check outs. They will even handle emergencies if they arise. With a ChinaTours.com tour guide, no detail is too small or big.

Fully licenced

Each ChinaTours.com tour guide must have a current licence issued by the China National Tourism Administration. This means you can be confident in the standard and integrity of the guide who is leading you on your China tour.


And if you’re after an experience not included in your China tour package, simply ask your guide.
Dinner at a 100 year old hot pot restaurant in Chengdu? Avant garde gallery in Shanghai? Traditional Chinese foot massage in Yichang? It’s all possible with your guide.

We can also organise private China tour guides who speak other foreign languages

Ask us about tour guides who speak en français, auf Deutsch, in Nihon, and many other European and Asian languages.

Tripadvisor score Highly recommended

Apr 2025 • Family

As an experienced international traveler, I had never used a travel agency before. I felt China was different and that I should use an agency. I am 100 percent happy I did and that I chose China Tours. Martha was responsive, helpful and listened to our particular wants and desires. We had three different guides and they were all of very high standards. Would highly recommend using for any China trios.
