Travel to China from Toronto is becoming easier again. With the return of direct flights between Canada and China, travellers now have more options than they did in the years immediately following the pandemic. In addition to non-stop services offered by Cathay Pacific and China Eastern, Air Canada has also resumed direct flights between Toronto and Shanghai, helping improve connectivity and airfare availability for Canadians planning a trip to China.
Effective February 17, 2026, Canadian passport holders can stay in China visa-free for up to 30 days! |

China Tours from Toronto — Customer Testimonials
“Jacob was superb in every way. He was organized, knowledgeable, friendly, patient, listened to particular requests, took pictures, totally reliable. David (Guilin), amazing guy. Elaine in Shanghai was a close second.
The quality of the guides on this trip – both the group leader and all of the local guides – was really wonderful. They all spoke excellent English, were highly knowledgeable and were able to answer questions well. They chose very good itineraries, made sure we had excellent food and plenty of water, and time for breaks. I can’t say enough good things about them.”

“So you want to take a China tour. Family and friends have given you some leads on a possible tour company but you’ve found their recommendations to be a little too qualified with “howevers” and “buts” to instill you with confidence. So you go to the internet and find page after page of tour company listings and you begin to think that vacationing in your backyard is maybe not such a bad idea after all.
Well, before you give up, let me direct you to Laurus Travel and their comprehensive website at www.laurustravel.com. Not only can I recommend Laurus Travel without hesitation, I can do so with the confidence that the company will deliver a tour that will likely exceed your expectations. I can say this having recently taken Laurus’s 17-day China Odyssey tour with my wife who too has nothing but good things to say about the company and its founder and director, Julius Yan…”

AWESOME is how I would describe my 14 day Essential China Tour. Tour content, accommodations, meals, & domestic travel all met high standards.
Heather, you run a first class organization. Your representatives – Jacob, Elaine, Paul, David, Alex – were very professional, well informed, congenial & engaged, providing extraordinary service & engagement throughout the trip. Also, internal support staff – Yuki, Adrianne – were very helpful.
Despite this being my first experience with Laurus, I can comfortably recommend you to friends & colleagues & would confidently consider Laurus first in my future travels.
A sincere thank you,
