China Tours for Expats: Weekend Trips & Authentic Long Holidays

13 Days Beijing - Xian - Luoyang - Zhangjiajie - Shanghai We contacted China Xian Tour for a 4-day tour in Zhangjiajie, and in the end we had a great 13-day adventure in China. Sheron, our agent, was extraordinary: she was patient enough to customize this tour, she helped us with alternative hotel recommendations, the itinerary she proposed was very good. After dozens of emails exchanged, in the end we got a tour with absolutely everything included: hotels, transportation between cities by bullet trains/planes, guides, drivers. Everything was organized impeccably: the drivers were always on time, the guides helped us discover and understand the places visited. The recommended hotels were very good, with central locations.
Many thanks for your help Sheron!
Special thanks to the guide in Xi'an, Noble Liu, who recommended us amazing things in Xi'an, and helped us to have an amazing experience.
Also in Zhangjiajie, our guide Avery gave us 3 perfect days, despite the foggy and rainy weather.
Thank you Noble Liu and Avery!
And last but not least the driver in Xi'an, Mr. Chen was very professional, very polite, always on time, a true gentleman.

A Great Experience - 8 day GuiZhou This is our 2nd time booking our tour with China Xi'An Tour Co and we used the services of Travel Co-ordinator Nancy Liu again. This time, we booked the 8 day Quizhou Tour (14 to 22 Sept). Nancy was a delight to liaise with. She was very professional and prompt in her responses to our questions and requests. She continues to fine tune the itinerary based on our requests and also suggested some spots which we never thought of. The tour was very well planned and the the hotels exceeded our expectations. Our guide Nicholas and the driver were both locals and very familiar with the places and they coordinated the pick up and dropped off very well. The Driver had excellent driving skills and was always polite and reminded us to bring along our water. Our guide Nicholas was very caring and knowledgeable about the places we visited. He was also a great story teller and we never felted bored whilst on the bus. We were a group of 8 and Xi'An tour agency provided a 18-seater bus which were super comfortable for us as we each have our own seat. GuiZhou is a very lovely city and we had a wonderful time. Thanks to China Xi'An Tour.

Satisfied! We thoroughly enjoyed the Zhangjiajie and Chongqing trip of Sept 8 to 20,2026 because of the hardwork of the people below:

Sophia Liu, has been very supportive of our queries and giving us good directions. no matter- matter outside office hours and weekends. Very quick responses.

Sean, friendly and professional in the coordination of our daily tour.

Lynn, good coordination and suggestions on best place to view attractions, such as the cruise to View Hongya Cave and BBQ dinner to watch the drone show. Takes good care of tour participants.

Very good and safe drivers such as Hei 哥 and Tang sifu.

Will definitely recommend china Xian Tour for tours in China to friends and relatives

AMAZING EXPERIENCE I travelled with Xian Tour and had the pleasure of dealing specifically with Lena, who was absolutely fantastic: extremely welcoming, helpful and always present throughout the entire organisation of the trip.

And I’m not just talking about the travel arrangements. She also helped me with all the visas, practical necessities, advice about money and health recommendations to make sure I could travel safely and with peace of mind. She also helped me extend my trip to include Nepal in addition to Tibet, and that part of the journey was organised brilliantly as well.

I had an amazing experience from start to finish, with absolutely no problems of any kind. It was a truly wonderful trip. Honestly, my only regret is that my time in Tibet lasted just one week, because Tibet deserves much more time.

The quality-to-price ratio was incredible, and I would absolutely recommend Cian Tour to anyone planning a trip to Tibet or Nepal. If you are organising a journey like this, I highly recommend relying on them — they are truly excellent.

Amazing. Max was extremely easy to coordinate with. My mother and i are very grateful for all your help and facilitation. From first contact + reaching out to hashing out all the details, everybody was extremely prompt with their replies and adjusting the schedule was made very easy by the team. Annie, our tour guide for the Terracotta Army, was very informative, patient and warm with us. Her welcoming nature made us both feel very at ease and safe. Summer was equally the same. My mother and i were extremely satisfied by their professionalism and help in choosing sites that we were quite unfamiliar with. From being our guide to helping us book tickets for various sites and trains, everything was facilitated by the team.

In addition, the driver was also very professional and easy to coordinate with.

i highly recommend using this team's services for any foreigners visiting China. They are disciplined, organised, helpful, and super welcoming.

Thank you all very much for our trip and experience in Xi'An.

Xian Private Tour from Beijing Xian is home to the legendary Terracotta Army, Ming Dynasty City Wall, and the beginning point of the Silk Road. I took a train from Beijing to Xian and the scenery is also worth seeing. It feels like a compact Beijing vibe with slightly less of the Beijing hustle and bustle. There is definitely a lot to see so do wear comfortable shoes. But to immerse yourself into the history and culture, you need a tour guide that is very knowledgeable and loves what they do. I had Sasha for this tour and she was hands down ..exceptional!!!! Very down to earth and makes you feel like family. She answered all my questions and she was able to break it down to my level of understanding. Its like history class again, but a lot more fun. I highly recommend Sasha for your tour guide, because I'll be coming back again!!!

****The train from Beijing to Xian worried me, but everything is set in place. Instructions are easy to follow I promise!!!

Marvelous Xinjiang Trip We(2 couples from Oz) had a fantastic 22 Day trip of North and South Xinjiang in August, all organised through the China Xi'an Tour company. We dealt with Sophia of China Xi'an Tour company. She tailored the trip to my requests and added suggested spots that I hadn't known about. Her responses were prompt and professional.
The 2 English speaking guides, that were provided(1 for the north and the other for the south) were both local residents of Xinjiang and they were excellent with the information they provided and had local knowledge of eateries we went to. The driver, Wang sifu, was a very helpful, cheerful and a careful driver. In China, drivers are addressed by their surname, and followed by "sifu", it's a respectful way of addressing drivers, and has no martial arts connotations.
Both guides( Karim of Kashgar and Amy of Urumqi) spoke English well and they both bought us, local foods/fruits to experience. The local Hami rock melons were juicy, crunchy and sweet, and the local bread, the naan, fresh from the oven, full of goodness. Eating out in Xinjiang is very affordable especially, when our Aussie dollar get 4.75 renminbi to the A$. Meals were 2-3 thousand years of recorded history. The Silk Road carried both material goods as well as great human thoughts and ideation. The flow was bi-directional. Visiting many of the old ruins and sites, evoked very strong emotions and we marvelled at mankind's ingenuity. The flow of religions along the Silk Road was amply demonstrated at many of the sites visited.
We felt safe in Xinjiang and there is no overt display of religiosity.
With regard to the China Xian Tour company, we have booked a 2nd trip for 19 days of Ancient China Silk Road or mid October, this too was organised through Sophia.

Fantastic Tour with an Excellent Guide! We had a wonderful day exploring Xi’an with our tour guide, Jiajia. She was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and well-prepared. Her explanations were clear and engaging, and she clearly knew the city and its history inside and out.

She also chose a fantastic restaurant for lunch, and the food was delicious. What impressed us most was how well she engaged our children—they thoroughly enjoyed the tour and stayed interested throughout the entire day!

Jiajia truly made our experience special, and we would highly recommend her and this tour to anyone visiting Xi’an. A fantastic guide and a memorable experience!

Ultimate China What an experience. China did herself proud. An amazing place and amazing people. So friendly and helpful. Great hotels.
Our guide was Britany who would be the best guide we have ever had on our many travels. She spoke perfect and clear English and was always available to help. She helped us get through air ports and railway stations, shopping, and banks. One sick person she took to the doctors and then the hospital and stayed with him.
She was incredibly knowledgable and very well organised. Her timing helped us to visit many places before the crowds arrived.
I would thoroughly recommend this tour as it covered a large section of China and included places in Tibet.
