Our travel consultant, Stella, was easy to communicate with, prompt, and very considerate. I had a lot of requests for our customized experience, and Stella was patient and accommodating every step of the way. From Stella to our tour guide, driver, and hotel staff, the entire team was professional, making our family feel welcomed, integrated, and comfortable during our two weeks in China. I would definitely choose Hello China Travel again. Great job, everyone!

Our family (4 adults + 2 teenagers) had an extraordinary trip in China arranged by NCT (Nihao China Tour). This was my first vacation where I didn't have to worry about anything. We worked with Snow, and she was fantastic. Every time we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and safely transferred to our destination. The guides were excellent, teaching us a lot about Chinese cuisine and culture.

My trip was amazing. Thanks to Snow for arranging all the hotels, transfers, and guides. Your organization was very smooth. Everyone arrived on time, got me to my destinations punctually, and even ensured I checked in correctly for my trains and flights. The drivers were excellent. My guides, Eric and Lisa, were knowledgeable, spoke excellent English, and everything they showed was fascinating.

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!

Our experience with NCT was great. Right from the start, Nina listened to what we thought was important and crafted a perfect itinerary. The guides, hotel accommodations, dining arrangements, and transportation logistics all went smoothly. All we had to do was show up on time. Our guides were knowledgeable, polite, and enjoyable to be around. Our experience included a food tour, museum visits, and lots of cultural education, making the trip unforgettable. We had busy days but also quiet times to relax and explore on our own. Overall, this was a once-in-a-lifetime trip. I highly recommend NCT.
