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.

From the very beginning, the customized itinerary and additional suggestions (Yulong Snow Mountain might be our favorite hike) provided by Nihao China Tour (NCT) made travel planning effortless. But from the moment we landed, the service and meticulous attention from the drivers and NCT representatives were impeccable. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we didn't have to worry about anything, allowing us to truly enjoy all the beautiful scenery and rich culture China has to offer. The hotels in Yunnan, Chengdu, and Shanghai were all centrally located. The hotel in Yunnan was a hidden paradise with stunning mountain views. Our favorite part of the trip was undoubtedly spending time with each knowledgeable and friendly guide. Learning about the history and background made us appreciate every step of our journey even more. Not to mention, these guides might also be professional photographers who know the best spots to capture memories. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better trip and have already recommended NCT to all our friends and family. We are also considering our next trip to China with them.

My trip was amazing. Thanks to Snow for arranging all the hotels, transfers, and guides. Your organization was very smooth. Everyone arrived on time, got me to my destinations punctually, and even ensured I checked in correctly for my trains and flights. The drivers were excellent. My guides, Eric and Lisa, were knowledgeable, spoke excellent English, and everything they showed was fascinating.

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.

Our trip to China, designed by Ni Hao China Travel, was absolutely impeccable! From start to finish, they responded quickly and handled everything. They booked the best hotels for us, and every guide and transport arrived on time. Our guides were exceptional, and we learned a great deal about China and its history! We started in Chengdu, then went to Shanghai, and finished our trip in Beijing. I highly recommend Ni Hao China Travel for your next trip. We absolutely loved China; the people were very warm and friendly, and the food was amazing! If you're considering this trip, just go for it!
