Incredible trip!
Using NCT (Nihao China Tour) will never disappoint! Every guide was exceptional, and every hotel was truly five-star. The beauty of Zhangjiajie is breathtaking; you have to see it for yourself as photos can't capture this place's beauty. We're already considering another trip to China, and we will definitely book this journey through NCT again!

We started in Guilin, toured Zhangjiajie, and finally arrived in Xi'an.
At every location's airport, there were reception personnel who were very friendly and professional, making us feel like we were meeting someone from our hometown.
Each guide was interesting, informative, professional, and very accommodating. We said many times that we wouldn't have enjoyed the trip as much without them. Especially the young lady who accompanied us in Zhangjiajie; we felt very sad when we parted ways with her. The time spent with her was very pleasant. (I have a poor memory for names)
Every hotel was beautiful and conveniently located. Whenever we needed assistance, the hotel staff was always very helpful, whether it was getting a taxi, hot water, retrieving lost items, or making restaurant reservations.
Travel consultant Stella was wonderful — thank you for giving us such a great time. From our first conversation, we knew it was worth paying more to work with you. Although there were cheaper options, we felt very reassured throughout the planning stage. You arranged a perfect experience for us.
Our only regret is not staying three more days to visit more attractions. Maybe next time!

Our trip to China was one of the best vacations of our lives!
From the beginning, Fiona was outstanding and professional in helping us plan the perfect holiday. Whenever I had questions or ideas about the itinerary, she was very prompt in responding. I usually handle the vacation planning for our family, and this was our first time using a vacation planning service. That being said, Fiona truly impressed us. She made our travel plans amazing from the start, even for an experienced planner like myself.
Once we arrived in China, we were greeted at every location and given introductions to the upcoming itinerary, which made us feel very at ease visiting the country for the first time.
Every day of the holiday was fantastic because China is indeed one of the most impressive places on earth. Of course, as everyone would expect, the Great Wall was a highlight, but truly, everything we did was equally impressive and memorable.
Thanks to NCT for providing an amazing trip. We will never forget our time in China and will not hesitate to recommend it to all our family and friends who wish to travel there.
