Three Bears Travel’s China Private Tours offer flexible, fully customised multi-city journeys for travellers who want to experience China in depth, without compromise. Designed for longer stays and seamless travel between destinations, our private China tours connect the country’s most iconic cities, landscapes, and cultural regions into a thoughtfully paced, stress-free itinerary.

From China’s ancient capitals and historic trade routes to dramatic natural scenery and regional cuisine, each long-route itinerary is carefully crafted to flow smoothly from one destination to the next. Whether you’re walking the Great Wall, cruising past karst peaks, exploring UNESCO heritage sites, or discovering lesser-known regions, our China private tours are designed to reveal the diversity of the country as a connected journey, not a checklist.

All of our China private tours are exclusively for your group, with departures confirmed from just 2 travellers. There are no fixed timetables, no shared groups, and no rushing to keep up. You travel with your own local guide and private vehicle, moving at a pace that suits your interests while enjoying complete flexibility across multiple cities.

Our travel specialists draw on decades of on-the-ground experience to design routes that match your travel style and budget. Popular long-route journeys may include Beijing’s imperial history, Silk Road’s hidden gems, Chengdu’s wildlife encounters, and scenic highlights such as Guilin, Yangtze River, Zhangjiajie, or Chongqing. Each itinerary balances must-see landmarks with quieter moments and local experiences, creating a deeper and more personal understanding of China.

With dedicated local support and carefully coordinated logistics, your multi-city China private tour runs smoothly from start to finish. We arrange comfortable hotels, efficient domestic transfers, and meaningful cultural experiences that connect each destination naturally. From classic north-to-south routes to extended regional circuits, our long-distance private tours deliver both depth and comfort for travellers seeking a complete and rewarding China travel experience.
