Tours
Three Bears Travel’s Tours offer flexible, private travel experiences across China and Japan, designed for travellers who value depth, comfort, and personalised service. From focused city stays to extended multi-city journeys, our tours are fully customised to match your interests, pace, and travel style.
Our China and Japan tours cover a wide range of destinations, from iconic capitals and historic cities to scenic regions and cultural heartlands. Whether you’re exploring a single city in depth or travelling across multiple regions, every itinerary is thoughtfully designed to create a smooth, well-balanced journey with meaningful local experiences.
All of our tours are private and confirmed from just 2 travellers. You’ll travel with your own guide and, where appropriate, private transport, enjoying complete flexibility without fixed schedules or group compromises. This approach allows you to experience each destination at your own pace, with the freedom to focus on what matters most to you.
In our China tours, range from immersive city experiences in Beijing, Shanghai, Xi’an, Chengdu, and Guilin to longer routes connecting China’s ancient capitals, dramatic landscapes, and regional cultures. In Japan tours, our itineraries link vibrant cities such as Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Hiroshima with regional journeys through areas like Nara, Kanazawa, or Shirakwa-go, combining classic highlights with modern attractions and seasonal experiences.
Supported by experienced local teams and carefully coordinated logistics, every tour runs smoothly from start to finish. From accommodation and transportation to guided sightseeing and cultural activities, we handle the details so you can travel with confidence and ease.
Whether you’re planning a short city escape, a themed journey, or a comprehensive tour across China or Japan, our private tours are designed to deliver authentic experiences, thoughtful pacing, and a deeper connection to each destination.
