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!

Every aspect of our China tour was perfect — from organizing the cities and attractions we would visit, to customizing unique short trips, to the logistics of moving from one city to another — everything was handled very professionally and smoothly. We visited Beijing, Shanghai, and Zhangjiajie, and honestly, this trip was one of the best experiences our family of five has ever had. Thanks to Stella! She didn't just arrange an itinerary; they made suggestions and customizations based on our likes/dislikes/interests (recommended attractions, hard-to-book restaurants, tours tailored to our interests — truly making it 'our' trip, showing they are indeed experts). I give my highest recommendation to NCT!

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!

Nihao China Tour is an excellent travel company perfect for family trips. Our family, including my wife and retired parents, chose NCT for our trip. From Shanghai to Chengdu to Xi'an, everything was fantastic. All transfers and tours were very punctual, waiting for us. The hotels and travel experiences were outstanding. Our Shanghai city tour guide was Grace, who was very knowledgeable and shared many fascinating stories. He took great care of my retired parents, arranging rest times for them. Highly recommend Grace as your guide! He is also an excellent photographer! In Chengdu, our guide was Vivian. She was also very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Vivian was very punctual and is a great photographer. Highly recommend Vivian as your Chengdu tour guide. We also had a culinary experience in Xi'an, cooking Chinese food in a private kitchen with a professional chef. It felt like having a homemade meal in someone's home, truly amazing! The services provided by NCT impressed us. Everything went very smoothly, exceeding our expectations.
