Our trip to China was amazing! We worked with Nina from NCT, who arranged the perfect itinerary for us.
Our tour guides, Linda in Xi'an and Allen in Chengdu, were both wonderful! They were very knowledgeable about the attractions we visited. We gained a new and deeper understanding of Chinese culture and people.
The hotels we stayed at were excellent. The hotel staff were very helpful, and the rooms were very comfortable. The food was delicious, and we enjoyed many great Chinese dishes.
The drivers who picked us up from the airport and the NCT representatives, as well as the drivers who transported us between hotels and train stations, were all outstanding.
We have already told our friends to contact NCT because we only have great things to say about the trip they arranged for us! We hope they will help us plan future trips in other regions!
We give NCT a 10 out of 10!!!

Working with Lily from Nihao China Tour ensured that planning our trip to China was completely hassle-free. We knew we wanted to visit Shanghai, Zhangjiajie, and Xi'an. She provided us with an excellent itinerary that included five-star hotels and private tours. She patiently followed up with me, answering all my questions and making the booking experience seamless. The documents and itinerary were well-organized and easy to follow.
We had the most knowledgeable guides and drivers taking us from one location to another. The guides and drivers were very punctual and kept us moving at a good pace, allowing us to experience everything China has to offer. The highlight of the trip was visiting Zhangjiajie.
I highly recommend Nihao China Tour to anyone seeking high-end services and who doesn't mind paying a bit extra for it.

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).

We've never used a travel planning service before, so I was a bit hesitant about this trip to China, but it turned out to be the best decision we ever made. Lily and her team at Nihao China Tour coordinated every aspect of the trip, from hotels to guides to city transfers. There’s no way I could have managed all the details on my own. They communicated with us throughout the entire process, and every part of the itinerary was meticulously planned. The guides showed up on time, and it was easy to find the drivers and contacts. They answered all our questions and made us feel comfortable the whole time. The price was reasonable, and we felt it was worth every penny. If you're considering a trip to China, I highly recommend Nihao China Tour.

After experiencing a very slow and chaotic booking process with another travel agency, I reached out to Travel China Guide. With only two weeks left before our trip to China, I was starting to get worried. I sent an email before going to bed, and when I woke up, I had a reply from Lucy with a preliminary itinerary! Wow!
The itinerary was exactly what we were looking for, and we were very excited. Our entire trip was smooth, enjoyable, and professional.
Every guide was very knowledgeable and gave my wife and me a deep understanding of a culture we knew very little about. The tips they shared with us each day enhanced our experience. Thank you all.
Make sure to consider using Travel China Guide for your once-in-a-lifetime experience—you won’t regret it.
