"Our family spent 10 days with Panda Journeys. Private driver everywhere — Panda Base, Jiuzhaigou, even a Tibetan village. Incredible experience on our tailor-made vacation."
"I traveled to China alone for the first time. They handled my visa, met me at the airport. West Sichuan was the most beautiful road trip I've ever done."
"Used the 144-hour visa-free for 6 days in Chengdu and Jiuzhaigou. Perfect pacing, no tourist traps. Hot pot class was the highlight. Our private guided tour exceeded expectations."

Zero-penalty changes. Just let us know and we adjust everything in real-time — hotels, guides, transport — at no extra cost. Your tailor-made vacation stays flexible.
We're a full-service travel agency. In addition to custom tour itineraries, we provide: English-speaking guide & interpreter services, private car rental with driver, self-driving route planning (we help you navigate China's roads and permits), and fully customized travel routes built around your interests — not pre-packaged tours.
No problem at all. We provide full visa assistance for travelers from all countries. This includes: invitation letters, itinerary confirmation documents, hotel booking proofs, and step-by-step guidance through the Chinese visa application process. We've helped travelers from India, Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, and many other countries get their visas smoothly.
We'll send a detailed pre-trip checklist, but here are the essentials: 1) Download Alipay and WeChat before you arrive — they're how everything works in China. 2) Install a VPN on your phone before departure (Google Maps, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook won't work without it). 3) Get a local SIM card or eSIM at the airport or online. 4) Bring a power bank — you'll use your phone for payments and navigation. 5) Comfortable walking shoes and layers for changing mountain weather.
Here's what our travel designers are working on this week. Every itinerary is built from scratch — no two trips are ever the same.

6-day trip for a London family with two kids. Panda volunteering, Sichuan opera, and a hands-on dumpling class.
9-day overland for a group from Berlin. Tagong grasslands, Litang highlands, and Seda Monastery at 4,000m.
You've read enough. Let's talk about your trip. Free custom quote, zero pressure. Private guided tours built around you — not a template.
