A big fucking plus one.
If you do a tour, you can pretty much guarantee yourself a lame trip, while paying maximum $$$ for it. Trust me, the tour companies will see to that
Like Astroboy said, do your research. You need to be going there with an idea of what you want to do, and what to see.

Eat where the locals eat. It's the best Chinese food you'll ever find.

One thing you need to know is if you haven't been to SE Asia or developing countries, you may find it hard to get used to the hygiene in rural areas especially... so be prepared. People will do stuff like blow their nose into their hand then wipe it on a wall. Or you may find yourself taking a dump in an outdoor toilet where the refuse is routed straight to the pigs trough, so as you're taking a crap you can hear these scarily huge black pigs munching on your excrement outside.

Lol, sounds like fun. So no to tours? This one we have been looking at looks pretty tempting though, and they seem to allow freedom and time to walk around and explore on your own so its not like they'll be holding our hands 24/7. I just don't think me and my friend would see nearly as many interesting things if we try to organize it ourselves.

I say plan your trip yourself and do some walking tours in some of the cities if that's what you really want to do.
Usually tours don't give you the real feel for what a country is all about.

Go to Beijing for a week, Shanghai for another. Do the historical stuff in Beijing: Forbidden City, Great Wall, etc.
Shanghai is more of an artsy, social place. Check out the museums. Eat out. Go clubbing. Shopping.
Check out the Bund (on the river); The Pearl Tower; Xin Tian Di, which is the more stylish dining area in the city. Other nightlife ideas: http://www.smartshanghai.com
Screw tours. Get the real Chinese experience with some locals, or the Expat experience with foreigners.
