OUR PHILOSOPHY

Offering exclusively China and only the best, Imperial Tours' goal is to give you the perfect platform to explore this inspiring nation, as if you had close family members introducing you to a country they love. Our passion and purpose is to provide you with the most comfortable, enjoyable and insightful luxury travel experience in China.

Luxury Travel to China

We understand your holiday time is precious. That is why at Imperial Tours we go the extra mile to create and deliver the most relaxing and memorable luxury experiences for your China holiday. For nearly two decades we have been specializing in providing unparalleled service, quality and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Consider us as your personal guides introducing you to the country we love.

Imperial Moments

Imperial Moment was a term coined by one of our very first guests. They used this term to describe the feeling of wonder and excitement that enthralled them on their travels with us through China. From the sheer delight of being introduced to a site of unexpected beauty, an Imperial Moment also refers to the wide range of inside access we can provide from the remote villages of Tibet to the skyscrapers of Shanghai.

Private Touring

To best customize your itinerary, we need to know as much as possible about your travel preferences, tastes and expectations. The more information you provide, the more unique and enjoyable your itinerary will become. We offer two levels of high-end private touring, our Ultimate China service and our China Escapades service. Both of our touring services offer the highest level of quality and comfort during your travels through China.

Custom Itineraries

Tell us how you wish to travel and then let us make your vision a reality. At Imperial Tours we take pride in individualizing tour itineraries so that your travels feel authentic and true to you. We will structure destinations, hotels, restaurants, guides and experiences so that they all respond holistically to your interests and traveling style.

Luxury accommodation

We work with only the best hotels in China and match them to suit your needs and personal style. Beijing, Shanghai & Hong Kong already offer a plethora of world-class luxury accommodation, many of them considered destinations themselves. On your journey with us we will also introduce you to hidden treasures in lesser known destinations.

Fine Dining & Authentic Cuisine

Chinese people have an instinctive passion for good food. “Have you eaten?” is a time-honored greeting. Besides the rich array of traditional, regional cuisines, in major cities one can sample a fine selection of Western restaurants as well as those conjuring up an eclectic fusion of Chinese and Western kitchens. From Michelin Stars to Mandarin Chefs, gourmet restaurants will delight you throughout your luxury China holiday.

We invite you to rethink the "Made in China" label. China's traditional strengths in crafts and materials have inspired a new breed of contemporary designer, both Chinese and foreign, to create high-quality products for modern lifestyles. From designer homeware to haute couture to hand crafted, traditional goods, the choice is yours. And because we never take commission, our guides' only interest is in helping you find the items you seek.
