About CT-BY

China, made personal

A small, China-based team turning first-time nerves into the trip of a lifetime.

China is one of the most rewarding places on earth to travel — and one of the most daunting to arrange from the outside. The language, the apps, the payments, the sheer scale of it. Most people who dream of coming never do, simply because they don't know where to start. CT-BY exists to close that gap: we plan private, tailor-made journeys and hold your hand through every worry, from your very first message to your flight home.

Made for you

Made for one traveller: you

No two CT-BY trips are the same.

There are no fixed packages here. Every journey is drawn from scratch around what you love — your pace, your interests, the things you'd never find in a guidebook.

A real person

A real person, not a portal

One named specialist, start to finish.

You don't get a call centre or a booking form. You get one human who plans your trip and stays with you on WhatsApp — in English — from your first message to your flight home.

We live here

We're on the ground in China

Local guides, drivers and know-how.

We're based here, not an overseas reseller marking up someone else's tour. When something needs sorting mid-trip, we're in the same time zone, a message away.

The small stuff

We sweat the small stuff

The worries first-timers never say out loud.

Payment, signage, connectivity, safety — the quiet fears that stop people ever booking China are exactly the things we take off your plate, so you can just enjoy it.

Come say hello

Tell us what draws you to China — a city, a dish, a photo you once saw. That's all it takes to begin.
