Booked a China trip for our 30th anniversary and Voya quietly blew us away. They booked us into the most charming, traditional Chinese boutique hotel, and even surprised us with a private, romantic dinner with flowers and wine. Special thanks to our Shanghai guide, Grace, who looked after us so thoughtfully throughout our stay - she truly reminded me of my own daughter. Completely unprompted and so sweet. Thanks for such an unforgettable journey!

We were a complicated group - dad is vegetarian, sister walks with a cane, and I wanted a relaxing pace. Before coming to China, I was really worried about the food and whether it would be vegetarian-friendly. But Voya catered to all of us without missing a beat and completely exceeded my expectations. Great veggie spots and zero rushing anywhere. Highly recommend, and we'll definitely use Voya again for our next trip to Asia!

Brilliant holiday from start to finish. Our advisor Winly sorted three itinerary changes without batting an eyelid. Our guide Tom in Xi'an is literally a walking encyclopedia and got us to the Terracotta Warriors way before the big tour groups arrived. Can't recommend Voya Explore enough!

Our flight to Beijing got delayed almost six hours and I figured we'd lost our whole first day. By the time we landed, Voya had already rebooked our guide for the next morning and had a late dinner waiting so we didn't show up to a dark hotel restaurant. Zero stress on our end, which after a full day of travel chaos was exactly what we needed. This is what you're paying for with a company like this.

China Tours FAQs

Yes, you can visit China without a visa by taking advantage of the 30-day visa-free entry policy or the 240-hour Visa-Free Transit policy. Our experts can design a bespoke itinerary tailored to the transit rule, simply share your travel ideas with us.

For first-time visitors, we recommend spending at least 1 week in China. This gives you time to visit three of the country’s most popular destinations: Beijing, Xi’an, and Shanghai.

If your schedule is flexible, 10–14 days is the most popular choice among our travelers. With the extra time, you can add another destination or experience, such as Zhangjiajie, Chengdu, Chongqing, or a Yangtze River cruise, while keeping the trip at a comfortable pace.

A classic first-time China itinerary often includes Beijing, Xi’an, Zhangjiajie, and Shanghai, offering a balanced mix of history, culture, natural scenery, and modern city experiences.

However, there is no single itinerary that suits everyone. The best route depends on your interests, travel pace, trip length, and who you are traveling with. We will design a private itinerary around your needs, from the destinations and hotels to the daily activities and pace of the trip.

Yes, you can change your itinerary at any time, even if you have already started your tour. Our guides and travel experts will offer 24/7 support. You can contact us anytime.

Generally, our private tour packages include:

Attractions:All admission fees for the attractions and activities listed in your itinerary.

Meals:Daily breakfasts at your hotels and specified lunches/dinners featuring local cuisine.

Accommodations:Handpicked hotels based on your preferred star rating.

Transportation:Private, air-conditioned vehicles with professional drivers, as well as domestic flights or bullet trains between cities.

Private Guides:Dedicated local English-speaking guides (or guides speaking your preferred language) in each destination.

Not included: travel insurance, international flights, and personal expenses (such as souvenirs or laundry).

Since every tour is fully customizable, our travel experts will email you a detailed itinerary and a precise price breakdown. Simply share your travel ideas with us to get started!

As a general guide, a private China tour with 4-star hotels costs around USD 220–250 per person per day. This typically includes hotel accommodation, a private guide, private transportation, entrance tickets, and meals as listed in the itinerary.

Since every traveler’s budget and preferences are unique, we will tailor your trip to match your preferences and budget.

No, you will have a different local guide in each city. We believe that the best travel experiences come from locals who know their hometowns inside and out.

Every guide we work with undergoes a strict screening and quality management process. So you can travel with complete peace of mind.

You can book with us at any time, but based on our experience, we highly recommend booking your tour 3 to 6 months in advance. Especially if you plan to travel during the peak seasons or Chinese holidays. Booking early gives you more choices for hotels, flights, and train tickets, and allows us to secure the best arrangements for your trip.

We understand that travel plans can change. If you must cancel your trip, please notify us in writing. Cancellation charges are calculated based on the date we receive your written notice

More than 45 days before departure:15% of the total tour cost per person

Within 6 days of departure (including the departure date):100% of the total tour cost per person

45–15 days before departure:30% of the total tour cost per person

14–7 days before departure:50% of the total tour cost per person

Yes, China is widely considered one of the safest destinations for international travelers.

When you arrive, you'll likely notice that locals are friendly and helpful, and public areas generally feel very safe. In many cities, it's common to see people leaving their laptops or bags unattended in cafés while they briefly step away.

Of course, as with traveling anywhere in the world, we still recommend taking normal precautions and keeping an eye on your valuables in crowded places.

Your private guide and driver will be there to assist you throughout your journey, ensuring a smooth, safe, and worry-free travel experience.
