CHINA TOURS
China is one of the world's most fascinating destinations, but it can also feel like one of the most intimidating to visit for the first time. That's why I've created these small-group tours, to help you experience the country with confidence while discovering the places, people and stories that make it so special.
Whether you're dreaming of seeing China's iconic landmarks for the first time or you're fascinated by its incredible innovation and modern cities, these tours are designed to take you beyond the guidebook and show you a side of China that many visitors never experience.
Over the last 10 years, I've travelled extensively across China, and whilst I love visiting the country's iconic landmarks, it's often the unexpected moments that live longest in my memory.
It's finding a tiny local restaurant down a side street, spending an afternoon in a neighbourhood teahouse, chatting with locals in a city park, or stumbling across somewhere you could never find in a guidebook.
That's how I love to travel, and it's the philosophy behind these tours.
We'll certainly experience the must-see sights, but we'll also slow down, explore on foot, and leave space for those spontaneous moments that make a trip truly memorable. I want you to experience not just the places we visit, but the feeling of being there.
