Using Nihao China Tour made this trip an unforgettable experience of a lifetime! Their attention to detail is amazing (I used to manage large corporate events, so I understand how tedious this work can be). They created a customized itinerary for us, ensuring we had unique experiences that matched our interests and available time. Their expertise in the region offered us many life-changing experiences we didn't even know we wanted (it turns out, these became our favorite parts of the trip).

Nihao China Tour has been excellent from start to finish. Snow contacted me on the same day when I initially reached out to the company. She was polite, responsive, and very knowledgeable... She worked with me to plan the best itinerary for my family and me. The planning process was very smooth, and Snow kept in touch until we departed for China. In China, I thought everything went very smoothly. The guides were outstanding, and our experiences went as planned, even exceeding our expectations in most cases. I highly recommend Nihao China Tour to anyone planning a trip to China.

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.

I had an amazing experience traveling with NCT! They were incredibly accommodating to our needs and wishes. Our guide and driver were very friendly and knowledgeable. Everything went smoothly, and all the drivers were punctual. Our guide was extremely helpful. All the hotels were great, and everyone we encountered made us feel that they would be there whenever we needed assistance. I was pleasantly surprised by everyone’s eagerness to ensure we had a great time in China. We really had a lot of fun! I would definitely choose NCT again.

I can hardly believe how much I enjoyed my trip to China. I have always wanted to explore the beautiful scenery of China, and this trip exceeded my expectations. I have nothing but praise for Nihao China Travel. I discussed several different travel plans for China with them, and they provided tailored options for each of my ideas. Initially, I was a bit worried about using a travel agency I found online, but they made the whole planning process incredibly easy. Every time I arrived at a new location, there was a driver to pick me up and take me to my hotel. All the guides and drivers were excellent - punctual and accommodating of all my special needs. They provided a wealth of historical background on the sites we visited. Nihao China Travel also did a great job in selecting the hotels, which I found to be perfect.
