Why a Private China Tour is Worth Every Cent
Private Tours • 7 min read
When we say 'private tour,' we don't mean luxury exclusivity or bespoke itinerary design. We mean something more practical and, frankly, more valuable: your own dedicated vehicle and your own exclusive English-speaking guide for the entire trip.
What 'Private' Actually Means
Every ExploreChina Holidays tour operates as a private group experience. Your group — whether it's 2 people or 50 — travels in a vehicle sized to your numbers with a guide assigned exclusively to you. No strangers on the bus. No waiting for other groups. No compromises on pace.
The Same Great Itinerary, Your Own Space
Our itineraries are fixed programmes refined over 35 years by CTS (China Travel Group). The Great Wall, Terracotta Warriors, the Bund — these routes are proven. What changes is that your group experiences them privately, with flexibility within each day.
Why It Matters for Groups
For retirement villages, church groups, RSL clubs, and community organisations, the private model is perfect. Everyone stays together. The guide adapts to your group's pace. Bathroom stops happen when you need them, not when a 45-seat coach decides.
