Travel with your own private China tour guide

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 Great tour with Linda in Beijing

June 2025 • Friends

This is our second tour with China tours, and it was fantastic. Linda was our guide in Beijing. She was great! She was very knowledgeable about history and culture and a very kind person. Our group was a mix of young and old, and she made our days in Beijing interesting for everyone. We highly recommend Linda and China tours!

Linda did an excellent job to explain and teaching us all about Chinese history and give us a good insight to all the places she showed us. We were a diverse group and even got our three children interred along the way. Thanks Linda!

Tripadvisor score 100% fabulous experience

June 2025 • Family

The trip with China Tours was 100% fabulous. Everything about it was exactly as described. The tour guides were all wonderful, the hotels, and transfers (two bullet trains, two domestic flights) were amazing, everything went exactly as planned, and we had a great first trip to China. We did the 13 Days China Wonders & Pandas tour in June 2025. The balance was perfect between sightseeing with the guides and having free time to explore this amazing country at each destination. The high quality of the five guides along the way really made the trip. They were wonderful people without exception: professional, courteous, very knowledgeable, and friendly. The team at China Tours did truly great work in arranging everything, down to the last detail. Thank you very much for making this trip a really great experience!

Tripadvisor score The only way to visit China!

June 2025 • Couples

This is a fantastic tour. The tour guides are amazing- so knowledgeable and extremely helpful. The experience of visiting the historic sites has been made far richer than it would’ve been on our own. We have left China with a greater understanding of Chinese history, culture and its people.

Tripadvisor score A Magical Experience

May 2025 • Couples

From the moment we were met at Beijing airport , until our last day in Shanghai , the service and attention to detail by the guides and drivers, was second to none! We opted for the ten day tour, to take advantage of the Chinese government 240 hour visa free TRANSIT permit , which was easily granted on arrival! ( arrival STARTS at midnight after you arrive! ) The vehicles and hotels were of the absolute best quality , and the whole trip was a joy! As every attraction has to be booked in advance , I certainly would not contemplate trying to organise such a trip independently ; and don`t even attempt to DRIVE in China!! At each stop , the knowledgeable guides would organise everything , and then ten minutes before departure ,would telephone the drivers , who would be waiting for us. Every attraction was well ordered and a real pleasure to visit. The standards of comfort EVERYWHERE were excellent! Thoroughly recommend!
