Exceptional China Tour with Cathy and Team – A Journey We’ll Never Forget!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Cathy, who organized our entire trip across Beijing, Xi’an, and Shanghai. In Beijing, Cathy is simply outstanding, Cathy’s excellent command of English, cheerful personality, sense of humor, deep knowledge of history and culture made our every moment meaningful, had lots of fun our family loved her !!! She was very caring throughout, and also introduced us to authentic and healthy local food, which added so much to the experience! Cathy also coordinated our onward journeys seamlessly. In Xi’an, our local guide Linda was detailed, polite, and thoughtful—she explained the history with great clarity and made sure we were comfortable at every step. In Shanghai, Sophia was simply outstanding too, She knew exactly where to take us, balanced sightseeing with our needs, and by the end of the trip had become more like a family friend than a guide. Overall, our guide Cathy, Linda, and Sophia both with our drivers at each city did an amazing job in making our journey smooth, insightful, and memorable. We left China feeling enriched by the places we saw and touched by the warmth of the people who guided us, as well as all clean and comfortable car we used in all cities! Highly recommended company and tour!

Fabulous Tours in Shanghai and Beijing.
Fabulous days with Cathy, Liam and Mary. My tour organizer Cathy, she was fabulous, helped me plan the perfect tour and introduced me to terrific guides Liam and Mary as well as great drivers. I got to see so many Fabulous places! They were so knowledgeable and pleasant. Got to see so many things and learned so much! Visiting Zuijiajiao and Zhouzhang provided so much insight into the China of the past. Walking along the canals and crossing stone bridges provided many wonderful photo opportunities. Then visiting key locations in modern Shanghai and Beijing provided the ideal contrast. It was well worth visiting the Yu Gardens and Summer Palace with its pavilions and intriguing rock formations. Despite being winter, there were some flowers and orchids blooming. I can only imagine how beautiful it is in flowering seasons or even the fall. It was fun walking around Shanghai’s Chinatown. We topped off one of the days rising 632 meters above modern day Shanghai in the world’s fastest elevator of the Shanghai Tower, the world’s third tallest building reaching the observation floor in 55 seconds! Don’t miss walking on the promenade by the Bund and see Shanghai all show with beautiful lights at night. The views are amazing and not to be missed. While in Beijing, we went to the Great Wall which is more impressive than can be imagined.

Enjoyed it, wholeheartedly!
Liam was an excellent tour guide! He explained the various landmarks and the overall background of Shanghai in a very clear and concise way. He was very accommodating to our various requests and also recommended places to eat and places to buy souvenirs. His flair in the English language was also appreciated. He always makes it a point to use the correct words (and at the same time making the whole engagement lighthearted). With all that said, Shanghai is now a place which we will come back again - thanks to Liam! For context, Liam was recommended by Cathy (our Beijing tour guide) as we embarked on our holiday to Beijing, Xi’an and Shanghai.

Don't think twice.
We had an extremely enjoyable week in Beijing, Xi'an and Shanghai. Cathy showed us the highlights of Beijing. From the architectural intricacies of the Forbidden Palace to the rich history behind the construction of the Great Wall. She was very accommodating, and almost like having a big sister take you around the city. Our visit to Xi' An was short but sweet. We were awed by the terra cotta warriors and Angela did a great job taking us back to ancient times whilst walking us through the museum. Very knowledgeable indeed. But my favourite out of all was Shanghai, namely because our guide, Liam. I've been on many different tours throughout the years, but I must say that Liam has got to be my most favourite guide ever. He is really a great story teller, and I really enjoyed all of his stories, as well as description of the places, and the Chinese culture, history and people. He is also very passionate and genuinely enthusiastic about sharing these stories with us, which made it all the more interesting. He has a very special way with words, almost like a modern day Chinese poet, and is able to make history come alive. Thank you Liam for making our trip special.

Sophie our English guide has a good communication skill and was very friendly. Mr wang , the driver made sure we had regular cold water . Over all we had an amazing , well planned , comfortable and mind blowing experience with the whole team. Will surely recommend them. Thanks Sophie, Cathy and Mr Wang.

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
8 Days Small Group Beijing , Xi'an , ShangHai Boutique VIP Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does 8 Days Small Group Beijing , Xi'an , ShangHai Boutique VIP Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Beijing usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 8 Days Small Group Beijing , Xi'an , ShangHai Boutique VIP Tour take?
+
Plan for about 192 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Beijing is not rushed.
Is 8 Days Small Group Beijing , Xi'an , ShangHai Boutique VIP Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Beijing, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 8 Days Small Group Beijing , Xi'an , ShangHai Boutique VIP Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 8 Days Small Group Beijing , Xi'an , ShangHai Boutique VIP Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 8 Days Small Group Beijing , Xi'an , ShangHai Boutique VIP Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Beijing can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Beijing and add a light layer if any part of the 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 8 Days Small Group Beijing , Xi'an , ShangHai Boutique VIP Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Beijing within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Beijing?
+
On Outty we rank every Beijing experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mubus: Mutianyu Great Wall Bus Tour with Summer Palace Options, Beijing: Top 6 Highlights All Inclusive 2-Day Private Tour, Private Mutianyu Great Wall Trip With English-Speaking Driver. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Beijing?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Beijing?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
