Overview

What Is a China Group Tour?

A China group tour is a fixed-itinerary package that bundles your accommodation, transport, licensed English-speaking guide, sightseeing entry tickets, and most meals into one transparent price. Instead of planning every detail yourself, you join a small group of like-minded travellers and let our local team handle the logistics — visas, train tickets, hotel check-ins, and restaurant reservations included.

China Trail runs 249 group itineraries across China's most iconic destinations, priced from $169 for a 2-day Beijing Express to $703 for an 8-day Beijing & Shanghai classic. Most departures keep groups to 8–15 travellers, so you get a personal, unhurried experience rather than a 40-person coach tour. Every itinerary includes professional English-speaking guides with deep local knowledge, plus 24/7 on-trip support from our team.
