A well-run private journey in China costs roughly €300–400 per person per day, land only — this estimator turns your party size, days and comfort level into an honest range, with the cost blocks shown, because opaque quoting is how this industry loses trust.

What moves the number (and what does not)

Party size is the biggest lever: the guide and the car are per-day, not per-person, so four travellers split them two ways. Days move the total, not the daily rate. Comfort level moves the hotel block; season moves everything a little. What never moves is the shape: private guide, private driver, no shopping stops — that part is not a tier.

Questions about the estimate

How accurate is this estimate?
The ranges are built from the same cost blocks we use in written quotations — guide-and-driver day rates, boutique hotel tiers, rail and entry tickets — so the middle of a range is usually within a short conversation of a firm quote. Season, hotel choice and routing move it; that is what the 30-minute call is for.
Does the estimate include international flights?
No. The estimate is land-only, the same basis as every price on this site: you book the flights that suit you (miles, cabin, layovers), and we advise on timings so the first day works.
Do you store or upload my inputs?
Never. The calculator runs fully in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere, and there is no email wall between you and the result.
