Imperial Tours was created in 1999 to provide excellence for the luxury traveler to China. Our claim to offer the best luxury tours available is validated by our nomination as "Travel + Leisure" China Superagent every year since 2002, as well as our longstanding working relationships with the premier travel agencies and concierge services around the world, such as Virtuoso and Fischer Travel.

Visiting celebrities and VIPs obviously command great attention and respect. However, our guiding philosophy is to treat every customer equally Imperially. After all, we are not just providing a luxury tour, we also have a greater role: we are introducing you to China.

Imperial Tours' distinguishing characteristics are encapsulated in the following set of tour principles:

• A bilingual, trained western China Host accompanies all our tours.
• Spacious rooms in the best available hotels
• Top western and Chinese restaurants, including gourmet restaurants sometimes featured in the international press
• Exclusive & unique dining experiences
• World-class destinations that are the best of their kind (if a destination is sensational but only has a 4 star hotel (e.g. Lhasa), we will offer it.)
• Best Chinese guides
• If you are commissioning an expert, lecturers who communicate well and interestingly
• Private tour itineraries are fully customizable according to your interest and traveling style.
  

Please note that Imperial Tours does not offer services in less expensive hotels than the best available. Nor does it offer unaccompanied tours.

When comparing our services to those of another company, we suggest you might seek to examine:

1) In what category of room and in which hotel will you be accommodated?
2) What kind of restaurants will you be eating at?
3) Will a daily visit to one or two shops be compulsory?
4) Are the guide's and driver's income dependent on what you purchase at tourist souvenir shops?
5) If you are inquiring about a group tour, what is the maximum size of the group?
