Who am I?

I’m Nico - the China travel planner. I’ve spent the past decade living in, travelling to and exploring China.

Together with my husband, Jack, I spent this time finding the best things to see, eat and do and learning a lot along the way!

And now, I want to help others to do the same. Through practical advice, detailed guides, and hosted tours, I want to give people the confidence to travel in China.

  • "Nico helped me plan a trip to Guangzhou! She was super knowledgeable, and went out her way to find me some niche information that I was struggling to research via Google translate. I would definitely recommend talking to Nico if you need help planning your trip."

    Casey

  • "Nico did an incredible job helping us over the mountain that is planning a major trip to a country we have never been to before. They were friendly, helpful, and informed, which made the whole process fun and exciting. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to travel to China for the first time."

    Justin

  • "Nico was absolutely brilliant and so so helpful. She was very quick at coming back to me and speaking to her just felt like chatting to a friend. I will be no doubt using her services again in the future and would recommend her to absolutely anyone.
