What people love about Private Tours in China
- Essence of China (Private Customize)
Fabulous, great for bucket list, so interesting
I had a good time. It was in the fall so it was getting a little cold but they had told me if I had come in Summer it would have been hot and humid and very crowded.

- Best of China with Avatar Mountains (Private Customize)
The tour was absolutely wonderful. The translators were very knowledgeable, spoke excellent English, and allowed us to maintain our pace. Sometimes we were slow and making videos, other times we walked at a quick pace. We were treated wonderfully and always felt safe. After hours, the taxis are cheap and with written notes from our translators, we were able to explore on our own safely.
