Our recent trip to China was wonderful, including Zhangjiajie, Guilin, Chengdu, and Shanghai. The itinerary arranged by Snow and Nihao China Tour for the four of us went extremely smoothly.
The hotel accommodations and services throughout the trip were outstanding.
Our English-speaking guides were very knowledgeable. The trip was well-organized, and the timing was perfect. The tour in Guilin with Grace was exceptional – he was passionate about his work, heritage, and history. The tour in Chengdu with Eric was simply incredible – he ensured our safety and provided a lot of useful information along the way.
The lunch in Shanghai was fantastic. It was a wonderful celebration to conclude our trip!

We chose a fast-paced tour of Xi'an and Zhangjiajie, feeling it was the best experience. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and all the guides were excellent. Upon landing, our guide met us and took us to our first hotel, providing a detailed introduction of the entire itinerary and ticketing arrangements.
We toured the Li River and Yangshuo in Guilin and really liked our guide. She took us to some beautiful photo spots.
The guide in Zhangjiajie gave us great directions and suggestions, taking us through Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. He was an outstanding guide.
All the drivers and guides were very punctual and passionate about sharing their culture. They confidently answered all our questions during the trip and had great photography skills! The drivers safely took us to our destinations, and I felt well cared for overall.
Before the trip, Snow gave us a lot of useful advice, which helped me better prepare for the trip. She reminded me of things I might have forgotten (travel insurance, currency exchange, packing tips, etc.). She was very responsive to all my questions before the trip.
We greatly appreciated these details that made our experience effortless. The hotels were clean, and the hotel staff was friendly and helpful. My only complaint about the trip was that the hotel shower drainage was a bit slow. Other than that, the trip was fantastic!

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.

Dear Nihao China Tour Team,
This truly was a once-in-a-lifetime trip... Our expert consultant Lily was an absolute treasure. I can't express how grateful we are for her; her efforts made our trip so memorable. She genuinely helped us every step of the way, making the journey so smooth that I never had to worry about transfers or bookings. This is a whole new way of traveling, and I don't think I can go back to my previous stressful planning routines. At every checkpoint, we had real people providing us with information and tickets, which was astonishing. My partner and I could ask questions anytime, and we felt supported throughout the entire 11 days.
Our first stop was Yunnan. I was a little hesitant about this unknown place, but Lily arranged an excellent guide named Allen for us, and we learned about the lifestyles of ethnic minorities.
The Forbidden City and Great Wall in Beijing were like scenes straight from a textbook. I am very glad we stayed here for two days.
In Chengdu, we stayed in a lovely boutique hotel, and I enjoyed reading about its history and the surrounding neighborhood.
Our final day in Shanghai was like a dream. We slept in, visited The Bund, and went to the Oriental Pearl Tower.
I can't praise Lily and all the guides, drivers, and hotels enough!

Using Nihao China Tour made this trip an unforgettable experience of a lifetime!
Their attention to detail is amazing (I used to manage large corporate events, so I understand how tedious this work can be).
They created a customized itinerary for us, ensuring we had unique experiences that matched our interests and available time. Their expertise in the region offered us many life-changing experiences we didn't even know we wanted (it turns out, these became our favorite parts of the trip).
