Three ways to explore China
However you like to plan, China is taken care of.

Start from a private journey we have already refined, then adjust the dates, pace and hotels to your party.

What we do
From the first conversation to your journey home, one team is there every step of the way.
Tailor-made private journeys
Whether you want to explore one destination in depth or travel across China, we design your itinerary around your interests, travel dates and preferred pace. Every journey is planned exclusively for your party, with the flexibility to make the most of your time in China.
Private guides and drivers
Explore with a local guide in your language, in English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Italian, Japanese, Chinese or Thai, and a dedicated private driver. Your sightseeing arrangements and ground transportation are organized around your party, with private airport and train station transfers to make getting around easier.
Hotels, transport and tickets
We arrange hotel stays, domestic flights and train tickets, as well as admission tickets for the sights and experiences on your itinerary. All arrangements and inclusions are clearly outlined before you confirm your trip. International flights are not included.
Day tours and local experiences
Discover iconic sights such as the Great Wall, the Terracotta Army and Chengdu's giant pandas. Go beyond the usual sightseeing with experiences that bring you closer to local life, from regional cooking and tea to traditional crafts.
Travel planned around your needs
From family travel and a more relaxed pace for older travelers to halal dining options and time for daily prayers, we take your group's needs into account from the very beginning. These arrangements are built into your itinerary, not added as an afterthought.
Support throughout your trip
Our China-based team is available on WhatsApp throughout your journey. From flight delays and transfer changes to unexpected adjustments along the way, we're here to help coordinate things and keep your trip on track.
Why private
Most trips to China go wrong in the gaps: the transfer nobody met, the ticket nobody booked, the hour lost between two cities. We plan the gaps out.
One team, start to finish
The people who design your route are the people who answer the phone when a flight changes.
Nothing sold on the side
No compulsory shopping stops and no commission detours. Anything optional is listed separately, and it is your call.
Every detail in writing
Hotels, transport, inclusions, exclusions and price are set out in your proposal before you pay.
AVIORA is a licensed, China-based tour operator that designs and runs private, tailor-made China tours for international travelers: from single days with a private guide to journeys of up to 13 days.

“The value wasn't simply in the hotels, although the hotels were excellent. It was in all the friction we didn't have to deal with.”

Good questions to ask us.
Are your journeys private or group tours?
Private. Your guide, vehicle and daily plan are arranged for your party alone. Flights, trains and ticketed sites such as museums remain shared public services, but your guide meets you and handles the logistics around them.
Can I change a published itinerary?
Yes. Every published itinerary is a starting point. Dates, pace, hotels, rooms, experiences and the route itself can be adjusted before you confirm anything.
How are AVIORA journeys priced?
Every journey is priced individually. Your written proposal reflects your actual dates, party size, hotels and inclusions, so the total is clear before you decide. International flights are not included.
Do your guides speak my language?
Our guides work in English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Italian, Japanese, Chinese and Thai. Tell us your language when you plan your trip, and your written proposal names the guide arranged for your dates.
Who runs the trip in China?
AVIORA is operated by Youyouhui (Guangzhou) International Travel Service Co., Ltd. (游友汇（广州）国际旅行社有限公司), a registered China company licensed for inbound tourism. AVIORA China Travel is the travel brand for individual travelers. We have offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Xi'an, and the registered company is based in Guangzhou.
What if I need to cancel?
Our standard cancellation schedule is published on the booking terms page. Charges rise from 10% when you cancel more than 60 days before departure to 100% within 14 days. Your proposal states any stricter supplier conditions before you pay.
