Beijing: Walking Food Tour in Hutongs with Custom TastingYou’ll walk through Beijing’s hutongs with a local friend who knows all the best food stalls and noodle shops. Taste zhajiang mian, handmade dumplings, tanghulu on a stick, and whatever else your guide thinks you should try that day. You’ll laugh over language mishaps, hear neighborhood stories, and leave feeling like you’ve seen a side of Beijing most visitors miss.
Xi'an: Terracotta Army, Pagoda & City Wall Private Day TourYou’ll start your day with a local guide at your hotel before heading out to see Xi’an’s Terracotta Warriors up close. Walk ancient stones atop the City Wall, listen to stories at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, then taste your way through bustling food stalls in the Muslim Quarter. Expect small surprises and real moments—this isn’t just sightseeing; it’s feeling part of Xi’an for a day.
Zhujiajiao Water Town Tour with Shanghai Zoo and PandasThis private tour combines Shanghai Zoo with Zhujiajiao water town, a 1,700-year-old settlement known as the "Little Oriental Venice." Your guide meets you at your hotel, takes you through the zoo to see giant pandas and other animals, then drives you to the water town where you explore old stone-paved alleyways, cross the ancient Fang Sheng Bridge, and browse local shops and handicrafts. A gondola ride and local lunch are available depending on which option you book; the driver returns you to your hotel at the end of the day.Is it for me?Book the "Tour Only" option if you want to move between both places without stopping for a meal, keeping the day shorter and the focus on sightseeing. Choose "Tour with Lunch and Boat Ride" if you have a full morning and want to slow down — the meal and the gondola turn the water town into a more complete experience instead of a quick walk-through.
Beijing: Mutianyu Great Wall & Forbidden City Day Tour with Dumpling LunchYou’ll start your day in Beijing’s historic center before skipping lines into the Forbidden City with your local guide. After a dumpling lunch en route, explore Mutianyu Great Wall by cable car or chairlift—then hike its ancient stones at your own pace. Expect laughter, real stories, and moments you’ll replay long after you’re home.
Zhangjiajie 3-Day Tour: Glass Bridge & Avatar MountainsA 3-day private guided tour of Zhangjiajie takes you through the region's most recognizable landmarks: the Glass Bridge spanning 430 meters above the Grand Canyon, the sandstone peaks of Yuanjiajie (the Avatar Hallelujah Mountain), and Tianmen Mountain with its clifftop plank road. Your guide and private vehicle pick you up from your hotel, arrange all entrance tickets in advance, and move you between sites on a fixed itinerary so the three days hold together without you building them.Is it for me?Book this if you're arriving before noon and want a guide who stays with your group across all three days—you'll move together through each site rather than splitting up or navigating independently.
4-Day Zhangjiajie Tour: Avatar Mountain, Glass Bridge & TianmenA 4-day private tour of Zhangjiajie with a professional guide, private vehicle transport, and all entrance tickets included. You visit Avatar Mountain (Yuanjiajie) via the Bailong Elevator—the world's tallest full-exposure outdoor lift—then walk the Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge, a 430-meter span suspended 300 meters above the Grand Canyon. The itinerary also covers Tianzi Mountain, Yellow Dragon Cave, and Tianmen Mountain with its famous Glass Skywalk and 99 Bends Bus Road. Airport or railway station pickup and drop-off are included; cablecars and elevators beyond the Bailong are optional at additional cost.Is it for me?Book this if you want to visit all four major sites in one trip and prefer moving through attractions without crowds—your private guide and vehicle let you set the pace rather than follow a group schedule.
Yangshuo: Impression Sanjie Liu Show Tickets & Hotel PickupYou’ll meet your English-speaking ticket host at the Impression Sanjie Liu Theater entrance in Yangshuo, then settle into your seat for an open-air show on the Li River. Expect folk stories brought to life by hundreds of performers, surreal lighting over water, and a backdrop of glowing karst peaks. It’s an evening that lingers long after you leave.
Private Mutianyu Great Wall Day Tour with Toboggan SlideA private day tour from Beijing to Mutianyu Great Wall includes hotel pickup, a 1.5-hour drive, fast-track entry, chairlift or cable car ascent, 2–2.5 hours to explore the ramparts and watchtowers, and descent by toboggan slide (or chairlift if over 60). You choose your departure between 6:30 AM and 1:30 PM, and can add a Chinese dumpling lunch on-site; a VIP Fast Pass option cuts shuttle-bus wait times by up to 60–90 minutes.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want to control your schedule — departures run from 6:30 AM to 1:30 PM, so you can time it around your other plans or catch the wall before the crowds arrive. The private vehicle and fast-track option mean you spend your day on the wall itself, not in queues or shuttle buses.
Zhangjiajie National Forest Park Private Tour: Avatar MountainA private, guided tour of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Southern China with hotel pickup and an English-speaking guide. You walk Golden Whip Brook, ride Bailong Elevator to panoramic views, explore Yuanjiajie's Hallelujah Mountain (the Avatar-inspired rock formations), and ascend Tianzi Mountain for a wide vista of the reserve before descending by cable car. The tour runs 8 to 9 hours and includes all transport within the park, bottled water and travel insurance; entrance tickets are paid separately to the guide on the day.Is it for me?Choose this tour if you want to move through the park without assembling your own transport or reading maps—the guide handles the route, the timing and the context. Pick the Wulingyuan pickup if you are staying near the park entrance, or the Zhangjiajie City pickup if you are based in the city center.
National Museum of China Tour from Beijing Hotel: 5000 YearsA half-day guided tour of the National Museum of China in Beijing, with hotel pickup and an English-speaking guide who leads you through galleries spanning from prehistoric pottery to the 1911 revolution. The museum holds over 1.4 million pieces, nearly 6,000 of them first-class cultural relics. Your guide provides insider commentary on the Ancient China Exhibition Hall, the Buddha Statue room, and food culture displays, grounding each artifact in its historical moment.Is it for me?A guided tour suits a first visit to the museum or anyone who wants the artifacts explained in context rather than read from placards—the guide's commentary ties each piece to the civilization that made it, which transforms a walk through cases into a story. If you prefer to move through galleries at your own pace without a group, a self-guided ticket would work better, but this tour's strength is the insider knowledge that brings five thousand years into focus.
Private Hong Kong Walking Tour: Victoria Peak to Tsim Sha TsuiA private customized walking tour of Hong Kong lasting four to six hours, starting from your accommodation and led by a native English-speaking guide. You'll ride the Peak Tram with skip-the-line access, cross Victoria Harbour on the Star Ferry, visit Wong Tai Sin Temple, and walk through markets and colonial-era streets. Children 16 and under join free. The route adjusts to your pace and interests—contact the guides before booking to discuss which stops matter most to you.Is it for me?Choose the four-hour walking tour if you want the highlights—Peak, harbour and temples—without a car; pick the six-hour option if you want time to linger in markets and side streets. Either way, the guide adjusts the pace to yours and meets you where you're staying, so the day doesn't start with transport logistics.
Beijing Layover: Great Wall & Forbidden City Small Group TourYou’ll meet your guide right at Beijing airport before heading out for a day trip that packs in both Mutianyu Great Wall and the Forbidden City. Expect crisp air on ancient stones, stories from locals, and enough time for photos without feeling rushed.

The tour runs eight hours; airport pickup is available as an add-on option.Is it for me?Choose the guide option if you want context and explanation as you move through each site; the driver option works better if you prefer to explore at your own pace and don't need narration. Either way, the private car means no group waits, no fixed departure time from your hotel, and the route stays flexible if you want to linger in the water village or spend more time at the Bund.
Beijing: Longqingxia Gorge Cruise & Guyaju Cave Private Day TripYou’ll cruise through Longqingxia Gorge’s green waters with a local guide, then share lunch at a farmer’s home before exploring the ancient Guyaju cave dwellings carved high above Beijing.

Lantau Island Tour: Cable Car, Big Buddha, Tai O from Hong KongA guided tour of Lantau Island's main sights — Big Buddha, Po Lin Monastery, and Tai O — combined with a full day of unlimited MTR travel across Hong Kong and a round-trip cable car ride. The tour runs with a live English-speaking guide and includes children from age 3. The cable car operates subject to weather; if conditions prevent it, you can reschedule to another date.Is it for me?Book this if you're combining Lantau sightseeing with MTR exploration across Hong Kong—the pass gives you a full day of transit freedom beyond the island. Choose the crystal cabin upgrade if the cable car views matter as much as reaching the Buddha.
Shanghai Jewish Ghetto & Bund: Private Tour with PickupYou’ll walk through Shanghai’s Jewish Ghetto with a local guide, hear personal stories at the Refugees Museum, wander lively backstreets near Huoshan Park, and end up gazing over the Bund’s skyline. Expect small moments—like shared laughter or quiet reflection—that linger long after your tour ends.
Great Wall hiking Jiankou to Mutianyu: Unrestored sectionThis private Great Wall hiking tour from Beijing takes you from the unrestored Jiankou section — steep, winding and built during the Ming Dynasty — across 3 hours of walking to the fully restored Mutianyu section. A professional guide who speaks English or Chinese leads the hike; hotel pickup, lunch at a local restaurant and all entrance fees are included. The tour runs 9 to 10 hours door to door.Is it for me?This tour starts at 7:30am and involves 3 hours of continuous hiking on steep, uneven terrain, so it suits travelers who are comfortable with an early start and moderate-to-strenuous walking. The unrestored Jiankou section is the draw — if you want the polished, accessible experience, the fully restored Mutianyu alone would be a shorter choice.
Yellow Mountain, Hongcun & Tunxi: 3-Day Private Hiking TourYou’ll walk through ancient villages where life moves slow, hike Yellow Mountain’s wild trails above cloud seas, and catch sunrise from legendary peaks with your private guide leading the way. Expect honest food, real conversations with locals, and moments when you stop just to breathe it all in—you’ll remember those little details long after you leave.
Guilin Day Tour: Reed Flute Cave, Li River Cruise & Night ShowA private day tour of Guilin with an English-speaking guide takes you to Reed Flute Cave, Xianggong Hill, a Li River boat cruise from Xingping, and the Liusanjie show in Yangshuo, with hotel pickup and a private car. The tour runs 12 hours and ends with a late return to your hotel around 22:30. Children under 7 and travelers over 70 cannot take the small boat on the Li River.Is it for me?At 12 hours, this tour fills the entire day and leaves no room for other activities—it is built to cover Guilin's four main sights in sequence without gaps or flexibility. Book it if you want the classic route arranged and guided from start to finish, or look for a shorter tour if you need time for something else in your schedule.
