In 1985, Travelsphere became one of the first tour operators to be recognised by the Chinese government and launched its first-ever China tour for UK travellers in 1987.

Both G Touring brands have reported “buoyant interest” in their China and Yangtze Cruise Tours, which are available to book now and will run between May and October 2025.

Solo specialist Just You’s 16-day Inspirational China and Yangtze Cruise Tour, meanwhile, is priced from £4,224 which also includes return flights, accommodation, meals and transfers. 

Adam Kemp, G Touring managing director, said: “We’re thrilled to be able to offer new 2025 escorted China tours to our Travelsphere and Just You customers who are eager to discover the incredible architectural wonders and delights of China’s ancient culture and heritage, blended with cutting edge cities.
