For private luxury tours, Imperial Tours offers two programs for different types of travelers: Ultimate China and China Escapades. Each program is specifically tailored to the individual traveler, however the scope of services of the two programs varies. Ultimate China is a hosted private tour program. All such tours are accompanied by a carefully selected and trained bilingual,
Western China Host, as well as a local guide and driver. China Escapades is an unhosted private tour program; parties are accompanied by a guide and driver.
Ultimate China - Hosted Luxury |
China Escapades – Unhosted Luxury |
- Unparalleled service and on-site support of a China Host
- Absolutely seamless travel & logistics
|
- Support of a Beijing-based, western Virtual Concierge
- Autonomously organized logistics
|
The Ultimate China tour is for those who seek the best of the best, a vacation without a care. At the core of Ultimate China service is the China Host, a versatile factotum who expedites the best service that money can buy.
Ultimate China clients appreciate being in the hands of the China Host and have everything from itinerary changes to wake-up calls handled for a flawless experience.
|
The China Escapades tour is for those who demand luxury and quality, but prefer to dispense with the extra value and service that a China Host provides in favor of a more independent and hands-on experience.
China Escapades clients enjoy greater involvement in organizing their travels as a deliberate and integral part of cultural exploration.

Whether
for a family, an individual or a group, our private tours are wonderfully flexible and we will customize your tour to your specific interests. Not only
can we modify our existing itineraries to cater to your timetable,
but we can also suggest destinations not included in our small-group tours, such as Dunhuang, Hong Kong & Macau, Huangshan, Suzhou, Sanya, or the Yangzi River.
Each private tour itinerary is unique and individually tailored to the guest. After completing a brief survey about yourself and your travel preferences, we use the following six criteria to tailor an itinerary just for you:
| The Right Destinations |
Ensuring that you are traveling to places that you will love |
 |
| The Right Amount of Time |
Recommending an appropriate pace for the duration of your holiday, and at each destination so you feel neither rushed nor idle |
| The Right Hotels |
At destinations with several outstanding hotels, choosing the one to match your tastes |
| The Right Guides |
Pairing you to specific guides with backgrounds to suit your travel style and interests |
| Imperial Moments |
Making your trip unforgettable with special activities based on your interests |
| The Right Restaurants |
Introducing which of China’s infinite variety of flavors and ingredients that will match your specific palate |
 As
your itinerary takes shape, we will suggest
additional improvements based on your interests. For example, when appropriate we may suggest
a martial arts performance, a lecture on Chinese traditional thought,
a specialist walking tour of Shanghai's French Concession, special access to China's historic sites (pictured is VIP access to the Terracotta Warriors Pit #1 "Hospital"), and more.
Fully customized itineraries incur a $200 fee for itinerary design. Should
you commission a tour, this fee will be applied to the full tour
cost. References
