China for children

The China Guide is offering custom tour itineraries specially tailored for families.  Traveling with children in China can be a wonderful experience or very tiring.  Having the right itinerary and guide makes all the difference.

As parents themselves, The China Guide owners Peter Danford and his wife Jane, who both manage the company operations, frequently travel around China with their four young children in tow.  Their experience and knowledge is used in making the best and most realistic itineraries for families who choose to work with The China Guide.

Some popular favorites for families on tour in Beijing include riding a toboggan sled down the Great Wall, fishing for trout, taking a cycle rickshaw ride through the hutongs and shopping in the Toy Market.  The Kungfu Show and Acrobat Show are also popular for evening entertainment.   Outside of Beijing we recommend Yangshuo for its rural environment and activities including cycling, bamboo river rafting, caving and hiking.  Other destinations such as Tibet, Yunnan, Shanghai and Xi’an all hold their own special offerings for children which The China Guide can help you find.

Hotels are also an important consideration and offerings include budget suites and serviced apartments with full kitchens and washing machines for catching up laundry while on the go.

Child friendly guides and safe drivers will make you and your children at ease.  The China Guide has its own select guides they use for family tours who are patient, kind and fun.

Your custom itinerary is created to suite your interests, the age of your kids and your travel style.  Guides are are able to make adjustments on the go to suit the family needs at the time.

There are no factory shopping stops, meals are in quality local restaurants and client satisfaction is the priority.
