Our Story
Gala Tour was founded in 2001 by a group of people who shared a deep love for China traveling.
For more than two decades, we have built trusted relationships across China with guides, drivers, hotels, restaurants, and local experience partners. Honesty, trust, responsibility, and long-term commitment have shaped the way we work from the beginning.
Today, as more international travelers began looking to discover China, our team has supported more than 500 international travelers, from first-time visitors to returning guests looking to experience China more deeply. If plans change, we find the best alternative. If something goes wrong, we stay involved until it is resolved. Wherever your journey takes you, you can count on a real local team to be there when you need us.
China can feel complex from the outside. Our job is to make it feel simpler, warmer and more personal.
Whether you need a driver for the day, a trusted local guide or a fully tailored journey, we want you to know we are looking after the details.
Built on local knowledge. Guided by honesty. Trusted over time.
Welcome to China. Travel with us like you have a friend here.
Our Mission

We believe travel can replace distance with understanding.
Our mission is to help travelers experience China beyond the landmarks — through its people, food, neighborhoods, traditions and everyday life — while making every step of the journey feel easy and well cared for.

“By sharing the China we know and love, we hope every journey creates curiosity, connection and a reason to return.” — Founder
