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!!!

Nihao China Tour did an outstanding job organizing our trip in China. Everything met or exceeded our expectations. All the drivers were very punctual, and the tour guides were excellent. We were, of course, amazed by our visit to the Great Wall in Beijing. We encountered a bit of rain in the morning, but the weather gradually cleared as the day went on. This is one of our favorite trips ever. We highly recommend Nihao China Tour to anyone considering a trip to China!

Our trip was phenomenal, but the best part was the day we spent in Guilin with Jenifer. She showed us around the entire Guilin area, including Elephant Trunk Hill and the stunning Yangshuo. She is one of the best tour guides we have ever met. She made the whole experience feel very genuine and kept us interested in everything she showed us. She had answers to all our questions and made us feel very welcomed in this beautiful country. She explained Chinese culture, spirituality, and history as well as the modern life of Chinese people. We fell in love with this beautiful land, and Jenifer was one of the reasons we loved it so much!
