Perfect. The itinerary was easy to follow and prepare for. The guide picked us up on time, was friendly, and spoke excellent English. The hotel was beautiful, and all breakfasts were included and quite wonderful. I would trust Nihao China Tour again. Fiona was able to make adjustments for us during the setup and in real-time while we were there. If she couldn't, I still would have understood, but she managed to do it. Very satisfied with their service.

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!

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 all want to thank you for making all the arrangements for our trip and for answering all our questions. We didn't encounter any difficulties, and everything went very smoothly. Fortunately, the weather was great throughout the entire journey! All the drivers were on time or even early, and their driving skills were excellent. All our private guides (Linda, Grace, Allen) were punctual, very friendly, and knowledgeable. All the accommodations were lovely. Thanks again for helping us have a wonderful trip!
