China tours for seniors – that’s what Laurus Travel has been successfully offering since 1998. To ensure the satisfaction of our senior travellers, Laurus Travel has done the following with its China tours for seniors program:
Itineraries tailored to Senior Interests
Our China tours for seniors emphasize culture, history and fine food. Our China tours for seniors avoid certain activities that other tour operators catering to young tourists may deem important, such as eating street food and using crowded public transportation to get around.
Considerate Pacing
We do not rush our guests. On our China tours for seniors, frequent washroom breaks are incorporated into our daily schedule. We take care to find the best route at scenic attractions to avoid challenging terrain. Immersive activities during the tour do not require hard physical excretion.
Small Group Size
We keep our group size within 20 to provide a more personalized experience and to better cater to the needs of each participant. Feedback from our senior guests confirms time and time again that this is a winning formula.
Comfortable Accommodations
Our selected hotels are centrally located that are comfortable and senior-friendly, with easy accessibility and amenities such as handrails, elevators, and non-slip surfaces. In fact, wherever available, we only use 5-star hotels for our China tours.
Clear & Honest Communication
We clearly communicate tour details, including daily schedules, activity levels, and any physical requirements. Seniors appreciate knowing what to expect. This is one area we have done extremely well judging by how satisfied our customers are with our work.
Inclusion of Leisure Time & Avoiding One Night Stay
Downtime is scheduled here and there during the tour so that seniors can rest or explore at their own pace. Whenever possible, we avoid staying at a location just for one night to reduce the need for frequent packing and unpacking.
Cuisine Considerations
We include a variety of dining options to accommodate different dietary preferences and restrictions. Unless specifically requested by guests, we avoid meals that are too exotic or spicy. China being a destination for foodies, seniors on our China tours are always delighted by the quality of the food included in our itineraries.
Transportation Comfort
We use comfortable transportation options, such as coaches with ample legroom and air conditioning. We also minimize long stretches of travel with routine washroom breaks. To enhance your enjoyment of train travel, we book seats in first class whenever possible and sometimes even provide luggage forwarding service depending on the group size.
Listening to Senior Customers Carefully
We continuously gather feedback from seniors and use that information to improve future offerings. Only through such conscientious efforts can we build a reputation for senior-friendly tours and count on word-of-mouth to grow our business. We believe in listening to customers and we make a big deal of it.

China Tours for Seniors
— read what customers have to say about our China tours for seniors
We recently returned from a fabulous 21-day tour of China led by Jacob from Laurus Travel. This tour more than met our expectations and that all began with our initial phone calls to Laurus. Heather, Yuki, and Heidi answered all of our questions and helped us customize our trip. Their input was invaluable.
Jacob was so informative! He shared his personal stories about life in China, he made us feel welcomed and safe, he made us laugh, and he took very good care of us. We hated to say good-bye to him.
We loved the small travel group, the additional local guides, no “forced” shopping, and the optional evening activities that highlighted the cultural aspects of each province. The hotels were luxurious, the morning breakfast buffets were delicious,, and the high-speed trains were the perfect way to travel between cities. We avoided the long lines at each venue which allowed us to fully enjoy our visits to the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, Rice Fields, the Tea Farm, the Panda Preserve, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing and Guilin. In addition, we enjoyed cruises down the Yangtze and Li Rivers.
We had never heard of Laurus Travel before last year, but we haven’t stopped bragging about them since our return!
Thank you for providing us with such a memorable experience!
