China Family Tours 2026/2027: 15+ Family-Friendly Vacations

Excellent 10 days Private English Tour in China We had a great 10 day trip that Sophia helped us organized. Our trip started in Beijing with our guide Lily, where we spent 3 days visiting the Forbidden City, to the Great Wall, and the National Museum. We then took the high speed train to Xi'an, where we spent 3 days with Chris that walked us through the Terracotta Warriors and Muslim Quarters. We then flew to Shanghai where we met with Elena that took us to watertown, Shanghai museum, and the Bund. All the guides spoke English very well and was very knowledgeable about China's history and stories. They were super efficient in navigating through all the sites. We hardly waited in any lines which made it great for our family. We had a great time with our guides.

The car provided was super comfortable for our family and the drivers in each city was amazing. They knew exactly how to navigate through the chaos and our family felt safe throughout the trip.

China, what an experience! We had the best 2 weeks in China with the help of Grace from China Xian Tours. Our itinerary was organised for us once we let Grace know where we wanted to go & which cities & attractions we were interested in. We are a family of seven aged from 14 to 75.
Grace organised our hotels, trains, flights (within China), drivers & tour guides. Our tickets to attractions were all prepared too. When my daughters realised we would miss the Drone show in Chongqing, Grace was able to re-organise our hotels & itinerary so we would be there on the weekend.
When we arrived in Beijing, a driver met us at a pre arranged spot & took us to our hotel. The next day the driver & guide met us in the lobby to start our 2 days tour.
When it was time to move on to Xian, we were taken to the train station for the bullet train. 1168 klms in 4.5 hours, amazing. Again we were met by a driver & guide to start our time in Xian. From Xian to Zhangjiajie by plane, again driver & guide. Same in Chongqing & Shanghai. No hassles at all.
All hotels were great 3 star with breakfast. Beijing hotel was 4 star & breakfast had more variety. Overall we were very happy with our accommodation.
I can not speak highly enough of Grace's communication & skill in sorting everything for us.

Trusted Travel Partner ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have travelled with China Xian Tour for many of my family holidays. Every time we start planning a trip, they are the first agency I will reach out to because I know I can trust them to take care of the details.

Our recent holiday-journey through Xining, Qinghai, Gansu, Dunhuang, Urumqi and Chengdu was another memorable experience. The itinerary was well thought out, allowing us to enjoy the stunning landscapes, local culture and unique experiences without feeling rushed. Throughout the trip, we felt well looked after and everything ran smoothly.

The appointed drivers and guide were very patience, especially towards our two boys. They were very knowledgeable and professional in telling us the culture and history of the places we visited. They were always cheerful, accommodating and willing to help, making the journey enjoyable not just for the adults but for the children as well. The boys had an amazing time and came home with many stories to share.

We are also grateful for all the beautiful photos and videos that were taken for us along the way. These moments are priceless and will always remind us of the wonderful memories created during this trip.

Thank you once again for your dedication, professionalism and genuine care. After travelling with your team on multiple occasions, it is clear that your service goes beyond simply arranging a holiday. You help create experiences and memories that families will cherish for years. I look forward to many more adventures in the future.

Private tour Xian-Luoyang Private tour with China Xian Tour agency.
Best tour arrangement you could ever get for private tour for Xian-Luoyang.
Very well planned, accommodating and affordable pricing. My family had a wonderful and pleasant trip.
Ask for tour advisor Tracy, who is so helpful and thoughtful in planning our trip.
In Xian, no one is as experience and knowledgeable in China history and Chinese culture as tour guide Noble. His facts and story telling made the trip even more memorable.
In Luoyang, look for tour guide James. Friendly and entertaining, great to make friends with him.
Thanks to the drivers too Hao Xiang (Xian) and Wang Feng (Luoyang), dependable and professional eventhough have to pick us up late night.
Thanks to all of them!

7 Day Yunnan Hani Rice Terraces Tour: Reliable company, book with confidence - and see a China few others see. Great trip of 7 days in Yunnan with a top notch guide. First though - you can trust the company and do expect to pay with PayPal upfront and do so with confidence. Second we used the same company for one day guide in Luoyang - and they were almost the same price as what the local hotel said it would cost if they arranged the guide - so the costs are reasonable, this is what it costs (and the guide was good). On to the trip - our guide had grown up in a family farming rice terraces in her part of Yunnan - you could not have a better fit and she took us off the scenic outlooks and down into the terraces to talk to farmers (and try out some things) and talk with women on break from the fields and take us through the market and chat with vendors (those who spoke Mandarin). Don’t go for the photos - go for the experience and insight into a way of life. Also your hotel, your meals (noodles for breakfast) everything will be local and that is the point of going - not a cruise ship with day trips but an immersion with local insight that makes it all worthwhile.

Our 9 day private trip to Kunming, Dali, Shaxi and Lijiang A top notch service from start to finish . One of the best your companies we have dealt with. Sophia Liu was our tour consultant and we can’t fault her at all. She tailored our tour to what we were interested, gave her expertise advice and kept in touch with us throughout our tour in Yunnan .This was an experience that we have never encountered and we are season travellers . Well done Sophia 👏👏👏🌟❤️
Overall we enjoyed the tour of Yunnan very much. We had experienced tour guides(Selina ) in Kunming who brought us to sample Wild Mushroom hot pot on our 1st day in Kunming which was delicious and it was a seasonal dish for a short period we were told .
We were interested in the way of life and what local agriculture on the way from Dali to Shaxi but our tour guide was inexperience and new to the job, so we could not get much information in that area.He just qualified from College/University but not on tourism and his command of English was just average. However he was a decent and pleasant guy so we didn’t get uptight about it as he has to start somewhere.We spoke some Chinese ourselves and helped him to improve his English vocabulary and vice versa!

Jack our tour guide for Lijiang was superb . We enjoyed the 4 days there. Also it was the highlight for me especially as I saw the series ‘Mu Saga’ about the Mu family in Lijiang. We visited the Mu family residence in Lijiang where the series was filmed!
All our 2 drivers were excellent and respectful .

Overall we enjoyed this first trip to Yunnan and our return to China after 15 years!
We thoroughly enjoyed Shaxi ancient town and hope to return and spend more time there and exploring the place .

10 days Private Yun Nan Tour From Kun Ming to Shangrila My family and I went on a 10-day private Yunnan tour with China Xian Tour (CXT). Before the trip, we had several concerns about being scammed, as we had never used CXT before and had heard of scam incidents involving other agencies. As a result, we carried out extensive checks prior to confirming the tour. After completing the trip, we can confidently recommend Kelly from CXT. She is friendly, responsive, reliable, and extremely helpful.

Before the tour, we raised many questions and concerns – especially regarding our travel needs, as one of our family members is elderly and uses a wheelchair. We clearly informed her that wheelchair accessibility was a top priority, and she was transparent about which places were suitable. During the tour, Kelly was also very responsive, accommodating and flexible, even when we requested last-minute changes to the itinerary. Overall, our experience was smooth and reassuring, and we felt well taken care of throughout the journey.

Our trip began in Kunming, where we were guided by Selina (薛莉). In Dali, our guide was Linda (李慧娟), followed by Andrew (李俊嘻) in Lijiang. At Shangri-La, we were guided by Jack（更登）. Most importantly, our amazing driver, Xiao Ding (小丁), ensured our safety and comfort throughout the journey from Dali to Shangri-La. While Xiao Ding may appear strict (when he doesn’t smile), we can assure you that he is a highly skilled driver who is extremely friendly, helpful, and kind . In the absence of a guide, he even took the initiative to explain some of the places we passed by, which added to our overall travel experience. When we arrived in Dali late in the evening, Xiao Ding kindly took us to a nearby restaurant for dinner even though his working hours had already ended. His thoughtful assistance saved us the time and hassle of finding our way to the restaurant on our own.

Kudos to all the guides and our driver for being extremely helpful, patient, and attentive. As one of my family members uses a wheelchair and moves at a slower pace, their assistance, understanding, and professionalism made a significant difference and greatly enhanced our overall travel experience. In particular, Andrew went above and beyond by helping push the wheelchair up a hill on the way to 龙女湖, ensuring that our family member was included and able to enjoy the scenery like everyone else. We never felt rushed at any location, and the guides and driver were always accommodating whenever we needed to make some changes to our itinerary.

The slight downside of our trip was our stay at the Lijiang hotel (E-Outfitting Hotel), as we felt that some of the facilities were a bit run down. The room heater was not functioning well, which made it quite cold during the winter season. In addition, the water pressure was low and the hot water supply was inconsistent. The breakfast – particularly the Western meal – was also somewhat underwhelming. That said, the hotel staff were friendly and helpful despite these shortcomings.

On the other hand, the hotel in Shaxi (沙溪五柳心宿) was amazing. The property has a lovely compound where guests can relax, play chess, sit outdoors with a cup of tea, and enjoy the scenery. The room was very well heated, equipped with both floor heating and an air-conditioning heating system. It was extremely warm and comfortable, even during the cold winter season.

Another minor downside was a wrong instruction given by our guide while we were heading to the train station in Kunming for our journey to Dali. We were told to turn right after the security check; however, the wheelchair-accessible passage was actually on the left. This caused a small delay as we queued at the wrong area. That said, it was not a major issue, as we believe the guide was not fully aware of the station’s accessibility layout. With the assistance of the train station personnel, we were still able to board our train on time.

10 day tour in Beijing, Xian, Shanghai and Suzhou We had a wonderful tour and liked it very much. We are a family of 10 people and booked a private tour, which was perfectly arranged. Our whole family was very happy with the hotels and overall services.
Our travel consultant, Lenna, was very understanding and extremely patient. She brought a lot of joy to our family and organized the entire tour very well. Everything was smooth and the price was very reasonable.
One of our tour guides in Xi’an, Wendy, was especially excellent. She explained the history clearly and in an interesting way, and she also took us to try local food. We really enjoyed her guidance.
Our family is very satisfied and happy with the services. We highly recommend this tour company and especially recommend Lenna and Wendy.

Fantastic 2 days private family tour of Harbin We were a family of 16 with ages ranging from 2 years old to 73 years old.

We booked a 2 days tour with Kelly at China Xian Joy Travel. During our time at Harbin Jenny was our English speaking guide.

The tour was well planned and we managed to not just see the magical sights but enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. The kids had a great time playing in the snow at the Ice & Snow world and other theme parks in Harbin.

Our meals were well planned and besides the normal lunches, our dinners were the specialities of the iron pot meat dish and the handmade dumplings Harbin.

We will heartily recommend this travel agency for China tours.
