Three Bears Travel’s China City Tours are private, tailor-made city experiences designed for travellers who want to explore one destination in depth. Ideal for short holidays, stopovers, or travellers who prefer a slower pace, our China city tours focus on meaningful local experiences rather than rushing between multiple cities.
Each private China city tour is created exclusively for your group, with departures confirmed from just 2 travellers. You travel with your own local guide, private vehicle, and multiple hotels to choose from, giving you full flexibility and a stress-free experience. No large groups, no fixed schedules, and no waiting - just smooth, personalised city exploration at your own pace.
Our curated China city tour itineraries cover some of the country’s most iconic destinations, like Beijing’s imperial landmarks, Shanghai’s vibrant neighbourhoods, Xi’an’s ancient history, Chengdu’s panda encounters, and Guilin’s breathtaking landscapes. Every itinerary blends must-see highlights with authentic dining, local stories, and optional experiences tailored to your interests.
These short China tours are thoughtfully designed to deliver maximum value in limited time, making them perfect for long weekends or city breaks. Whether you’re interested in cultural workshops, street food tours, hidden alleys, photography spots, or family-friendly attractions, we customise each route to match your travel style.
With experienced local teams providing on-the-ground support, your China city tour runs smoothly from start to finish. From hotel pick-ups and entrance tickets to flexible daily planning, we handle every detail - so you can enjoy a rich, memorable city experience without the complexity of long-distance travel planning.
