From start to finish, our experience with NCT was fantastic. Our trip planner Stella knew exactly how to best arrange our itinerary and was flexible in customizing it based on our specific interests. Throughout the planning process, she was always very prompt and happy to answer all our questions. The logistics were impeccable, greatly reducing our stress and allowing us to fully enjoy our trip. At each location, guides met us promptly at the designated spots, and they were also excellently competent. Without their knowledge and experience, we would never have gained such deep insights. We highly recommend NCT to anyone planning a trip to China!

Stella and NCT (Nihao China Tour) planned and prepared our trip to China for the eight of us, and they did an outstanding job. The hotels and domestic flights she selected were excellent. The hotels offered plentiful breakfasts, friendly staff, convenient locations, and a great atmosphere. The guides and drivers were knowledgeable and helpful. Pre-checking in for domestic flights reduced airport stress and anxiety.
I would definitely recommend Stella and NCT to anyone considering visiting China!
Thank you for providing such an unforgettable experience.

From start to finish, we had a fantastic experience. Our itinerary included a culinary tour in Chengdu, then a visit to Tibet, and finally a flight to Shanghai. The organization and communication were flawless. We met friendly and knowledgeable people at every hotel and airport as planned. They truly took care of us and all the details. We booked private tours and transportation for the entire trip, and I highly recommend doing so. Our travel planner, Lucy, responded to all our questions promptly. All the guides were very friendly and took excellent care of us, especially Alex, who accompanied us for three days in Tibet with his driver, Don. If you're worried that organized tours mean following a flag-waving guide, this was completely different. It felt more like meeting friends who showed us around!

We had the absolute best time! Everything was wonderful, especially not having to worry about guides and transportation. Nihao China Tour did an excellent job in coordinating everything. I truly recommend them and have already told several people!
Let me give some specifics! Eric in Xi'an was fantastic. He was always willing to communicate between us and the street vendors, explaining what they were selling. If we weren't interested, he would politely tell them, and they would leave. We only know a few basic Chinese phrases, so this was very helpful and reassuring.
Allen in Zhangjiajie was charming, polite, and inspiring! He was very knowledgeable about everything and did an excellent job keeping us informed and engaged. His photography skills were also commendable, helping us take some unique shots at the mountain top!
Grace in Yunnan was passionate and informative.
The drivers were very polite, punctual, and helpful—overall, it was an unforgettable holiday and truly fulfilled an item on our bucket list. If we decide to visit another place we're interested in, like Tibet, we will definitely reach out to them again.
Our coordinator Lily was patient, helpful, and a great expert advisor!

We rate our travel experience a perfect 10 out of 10!! This was an ideal adventure trip. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, spoke excellent English, and taught us a lot about the history of Beijing and Xi'an. They were also great at taking photos for us. The hotel in Beijing was five stars, and we would definitely stay there again.
We loved the private transportation, and the vehicle was comfortable. We also enjoyed the train journey.
