We had a wonderful time! Everything was organized perfectly, and the guide and itinerary matched our expectations completely. The itinerary was engaging but not too packed because our interests were in exploring cultural and natural wonders. Fiona did an excellent job helping us plan the trip. Every time we arrived at a new location, there were professional receptionists and drivers to greet us, which made us feel very safe. The guides were outstanding, friendly, and easy to communicate with.

Nihao China Tour has been excellent from start to finish. Snow contacted me on the same day when I initially reached out to the company. She was polite, responsive, and very knowledgeable... She worked with me to plan the best itinerary for my family and me. The planning process was very smooth, and Snow kept in touch until we departed for China.
In China, I thought everything went very smoothly. The guides were outstanding, and our experiences went as planned, even exceeding our expectations in most cases. I highly recommend Nihao China Tour to anyone planning a trip to China.
