A traditional Chinese group tour is very different from a private China trip. It is important that you are aware of the differences, so that you can make an informed choice about what type of China tour would be the best for you.
1. Fixed Dates vs Individual Schedule
Group Tour
Chinese group tours always have a set date. With so many standard tours available for the main destinations in China, you should find one for every day of the year, so finding a group tour to fit your international flights shouldn’t be a problem.
Private Tour
On a private China tour you can depart and return on any day you wish, giving you the opportunity to take advantage of international flight deals, and choose the best fit with your life at home. You can also stay as long as you want, wherever you want.
2. Set Sights (and Shop Stops) vs Selected Experiences
Group Tour
Some group tours spend the minimum time on the advertised attractions, and the rest is spent busing and herding the group around shops. Even if you’d rather not make another time-wasting “shop stop”, you still have to endure people trying to sell you something.
Private Tour
You should never have to go to an attraction that you do not want to visit. None of your time should be wasted on undesirable experiences, so you can enjoy yourself and discover more about China.
3. Rushing/Waiting vs Your Own Pace
Group Tour
On a traditional group tour, much of your time will be wasted waiting around for the group to be ready, or being pushed to hurry up before you’re ready to move on.
Private Tour
On a private tour, you can 100% control the pace and timings, with no time wasted waiting for anybody else. Move on when you’re ready. Private tours are particularly suitable for families with young children and those who are used to doing things at their own pace, whether faster or slower than average.
