At DealsAway we take the time to prepare package holidays that not only include a range of activities tours and excursions but that you can experience with a first-class service. You will be travelling with a small group, a maximum of 16 people, so you can really make the most of all your holiday without waiting in long queues and getting the full experience each tour has to offer. 

Every tour will be provided in English by local experienced tour guides who know the towns, cities and areas you will be visiting so you will get a real feel for each destination and see them come to life. 

We don’t want you to see China through the window of a coach or speed through the itinerary without having the opportunity to really experience the culture, the people, the tastes and smells. This world powerhouse has so much to offer tourists and that’s why we have created an itinerary tailormade to make the most of your entire stay.

There will be plenty of time for you to explore at your own pace, to discover cities as you lose yourself on their well-worn paths, dive into the countryside and trail behind the beautiful Giant Pandas. With our range of excursions and packages included you will also be able to see other sides to China that perhaps you may not be able to do otherwise.

Taking a step back into China's dynastic past at the Imperial Forbidden City where you will see Chinese culture in all its glory, this explosion of eastern architecture, history and vibrance Beijing enchants all its visitors.

Beijing is your starting point on this great panda trail adventure, moving through China with stops at the incredible Great Wall of China, before flying across the country to the unforgettable Xian which marks the end of the infamous silk road and you can experience a collision of cultural vibrance.

Your next stop will be in Chengdu stopping off to see the famous and imposing Terrocatta warriors before reaching the sanctuaries of the Giant Pandas where after spending quality time in their company learning about them and observing them in their natural habitat your tour will come to end.

All of your group tour hotels will have private bathroom facilities, air conditioning, TV and telephone.
