With Nihao China Tour (NCT), we experienced an unparalleled trip to China. Our consultant, Nina, designed the perfect itinerary based on our interests and requirements. She was incredibly patient and professional, making several adjustments until our expectations were fully met. We learned a wealth of historical knowledge at the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and the Terracotta Warriors. Our guide, Allen, was exceptional. He not only guided us through the sites but also taught us some practical Mandarin. Throughout the journey, we felt their meticulous care. We highly recommend NCT and their team.

Arranging our recent trip to China with NCT (Nihao China Tour) was an exceptional experience. From the first email to the final leg of the journey, the team excelled in all aspects, ensuring we enjoyed the trip to the fullest by leaving all planning and operational details to the NCT team. Lucy patiently answered all our questions, which solidified our decision to choose them even before the trip began. During the trip, the guides were punctual, knowledgeable, and friendly, representing both China and NCT excellently. Overall, it was a perfect experience, and we would recommend it to others without hesitation and look forward to experiencing it again if we have the chance.

Sally has been an excellent travel advisor from the very beginning. We provided a long list of places and attractions we wanted to visit, and she managed to plan a suitable itinerary based on our holiday schedule. Even before we officially agreed to the itinerary, she started booking some activities to ensure we wouldn't miss any experiences or hotels!
Everything was well taken care of. Tickets, transfers, guides, all were perfectly arranged. Nihao China Tour made the whole process entirely stress-free, and their detailed information and communication alleviated all our concerns.
I highly recommend the services of Nihao China Tour (NCT).

The hotel accommodations and services throughout the trip were outstanding.
