This was the best vacation I've ever had. We hired a travel agency to help us create the simplest and best travel plan for me, my husband, and our children. My daughters are 12 years old this year, and I was worried that they would have trouble in a large group. This travel agency arranged a private tour for us, following our own pace. The guide, the scenery, and the country were all beautiful. My daughters loved the giant pandas, and my husband and I thought Yunnan was the most beautiful place. There were activities suitable for everyone, and the best guides, hotels, and staff. They cared about and listened to each of us. Not a single pickup was missed. Not a single detail was forgotten! Thank you, NCT! We will come back and bring more people with us. Nothing I bring can express how special this trip and these people are.

Sally has been an excellent travel advisor from the very beginning. We provided a long list of places and attractions we wanted to visit, and she managed to plan a suitable itinerary based on our holiday schedule. Even before we officially agreed to the itinerary, she started booking some activities to ensure we wouldn't miss any experiences or hotels! Everything was well taken care of. Tickets, transfers, guides, all were perfectly arranged. Nihao China Tour made the whole process entirely stress-free, and their detailed information and communication alleviated all our concerns. I highly recommend the services of Nihao China Tour (NCT).

This trip was very well organized, and we didn't have to worry about any details related to travel, drivers, guides, or locations. The guides spoke excellent English and matched our pace. The whole experience went very smoothly. The hotels were great, I just wish I had more time to enjoy them. It felt like I rushed through the trip. I brought back wonderful memories of China and hope to return soon to enjoy more of the food and the surroundings. Thank you for organizing this trip in such a short time, I really appreciate it.

We had the time of our lives in China. Our guides were exceptional and professional. The food was amazing, whether in Chengdu or Shanghai. The hotels were excellent too. The only regret is that we did not dine in Beijing as planned. Other than that, this was truly one of the best trips of my life. Thank you very much.

We had an amazing trip with NCT (Nihao China Tour)! Lily was very responsive to any questions we had before and during the trip. She was extremely helpful with booking domestic flights within China. The itinerary package she arranged perfectly matched our needs and interests. We found all the hotels to be fantastic. Throughout the trip, we were very well taken care of. Our guides were knowledgeable, thoughtful, friendly, and their English was excellent. We particularly enjoyed having Eric as our guide in Xi'an.
