Recently, the president of The Upper Class spent several weeks traveling throughout Asia and the Middle East.  The personal and interactive nature of his travels inspired us to bring these types of international experiences to The Upper Class Family.

And so, we now present the newest service from The Upper Class: Private Journeys. The Upper Class will launch our first ever Private Journey experiences in China.  With two distinct itineraries, The Upper Class now offers unique experiences that highlight the stunning natural beauty, remarkable man-made wonders and the incredible culture built by the warm, caring people that call China home.

As a Private Journeys guest, you will enjoy:

• Exclusive tours allow you to travel privately with family & friends
  

• One national guide accompanying you throughout the tour as your personal concierge and translator, along with bilingual local guides at each destination
  
• Visit sites unreachable by larger tours and groups
  
• Private, local transportation at most sites
  
• One-of-a-kind, hand-tailored itineraries to match your interests
