Our trip to China with NCT was absolutely unparalleled. Our consultant, Nina, crafted the perfect itinerary based on our interests and requests. She was incredibly patient and professional, making several adjustments until everything met our expectations. We learned so much about the history at the Great Wall, Forbidden City, and the Terracotta Warriors. Our guide, Andrew, was fantastic—not only did he show us around, but he also taught us some useful Mandarin phrases. Throughout the entire journey, we felt completely cared for. We highly recommend NCT and their amazing team.

This was the best vacation I've ever had. We hired a travel agency to help us create the simplest and best travel plan for me, my husband, and our children. My daughters are 12 years old this year, and I was worried that they would have trouble in a large group. This travel agency arranged a private tour for us, following our own pace. The guide, the scenery, and the country were all beautiful. My daughters loved the giant pandas, and my husband and I thought Yunnan was the most beautiful place. There were activities suitable for everyone, and the best guides, hotels, and staff. They cared about and listened to each of us. Not a single pickup was missed. Not a single detail was forgotten! Thank you, NCT! We will come back and bring more people with us. Nothing I bring can express how special this trip and these people are.

I joined the nine-day trip with NCT (Nihao China Tour) and absolutely loved it. Stella patiently worked with me to finalize the perfect itinerary. I really enjoyed China, and without NCT's services, I wouldn't have had the chance to see so many places. As a solo female traveler, I didn't have to worry about safety issues as usual, and the smooth logistics allowed me to truly enjoy every moment. I didn't have to think about transportation problems, always meeting friendly and interesting guides on time. I highly recommend using their services to plan your trip.

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.
