China Family Tours

Family-focused China tours blend hands-on activities with cultural immersion that resonates across generations. You'll drift along the Yangtze River in well-appointed cabins with private viewing areas, where parents can relax while children explore the ship's open spaces. Popular itineraries combine the must-see highlights - like walking atop the Great Wall, discovering the Terracotta Warriors, and meeting giant pandas - with interactive experiences such as dumpling preparation and traditional paper art workshops. Our travelers often tell us how their children form connections during homestays, sharing games and picking up basic Mandarin expressions with local families. The daily rhythm suits family travel perfectly, with gentle morning tai chi sessions in local parks, followed by engaging afternoon visits to attractions like the Shanghai Science Museum or peaceful water town explorations by boat. Private tour options have become increasingly sought-after, as they allow families to adjust the pace according to their children's stamina and interests throughout the journey.

    The tour guides and organization were very good. We all had a great experience. However, I would stay one night less in Xi'an and extend the time and activities in Guilin. The extra fee to be paid for travelling alone is excessive.
