View ItineraryWe don’t sell package holidays. We craft private journeys built entirely around you — your interests, your pace, your curiosity. Here is what that means in practice.
Early morning entry to the Forbidden City. Sunset on the Great Wall with no crowds. Local family dinners in hutong courtyards. We open doors others can’t.
Every guide holds a postgraduate qualification in history, art or culture. Fluent in English. Born in the city they show you. The difference is profound.
No group departures. No fixed itineraries. Every journey starts with a conversation about what matters to you — and is built from scratch around your answers.
From Tibet permits to visa-free transit logistics — we handle every complexity so you arrive with nothing to worry about except what to see first.
China’s 240-Hour Visa-Free Transit policy allows citizens of 55 countries to enter China without a visa for up to 10 days while transiting between destinations. We’ve designed three complete city programs to make the most of every hour.
“Open China Tours gave us access to a China we could never have found alone. Our guide in Xi’an brought the Silk Road alive in a way that felt genuinely personal. Simply the finest journey of our lives.”
