Private tours

Private journeys and tailor-made

Here are some suggested itineraries for private tours, where you have your own local English-speaking guides and transport plus driver in each location to meet you, accompany you on the excursions, and see you off for your onward travel.

Prices are based on using 4- and 5-star hotels and 4- and 5-star Yangtze cruise boats yet we can offer competitive prices between £200 to £500 per person cheaper than equivalent arrangements elsewhere.

With China becoming more and more popular, we would encourage booking at least 6 months ahead, especially for departures between July and September, to secure the best deals and avoid paying premiums for airfares. Late bookings will inevitably incur extra costs.

All these itineraries are flexible and can be added to or reduced to meet your requirements.
