Sightseeing Tours in China

Shirley Booth: sxc.hu

China is the most populous country in the world, and one of the oldest civilizations on the planet. Its history and vibrant, modern cultural landscape draws millions of visitors every year. While some tourists choose to explore the country on their own, many opt to take part in guided sightseeing tours. Such tours can give you a worry-free inside glimpse of Chinese life and culture.

Access China Tours

Access China Tours are ideal for those wanting a personalized, custom tour of China. While the company offers standard tours where you are grouped with other tourists, Access China is most known for its personalized itineraries that can be reserved just for you and a group of friends or family members. Example itineraries include visits to major cities such as Chengdu, as well as more exotic trips. For example, those who want to see China's northern regions can take the "North Xinjiang Expedition" and see landmarks such as Kanas Lake. Meanwhile, their "Glory of the Past" tour takes tourists through historic regions such as Yinchuan and Datong.
