The China tour arranged by NCT (Nihao China Tour) was simply spectacular. Communicating with Stella was highly efficient; she responded swiftly and provided excellent options. Everything went smoothly and as planned during the trip. All the drivers and guides were knowledgeable and shared the details and history of the places we visited with great enthusiasm.

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!

Stella is our itinerary planner. Everything went very smoothly, and we didn\'t have to worry about anything because everything was planned perfectly. Our guide in Zhangjiajie, Tina, was very informative and provided detailed explanations. Her English is very fluent. The guide in Yunnan was also very knowledgeable. Both hotels had excellent breakfasts and very clean rooms. Our driver was always punctual. I recommend Nihao China Tour to everyone who asks about our trip.
