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).

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!

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.

We planned a once-in-a-lifetime trip to China and are glad we trusted NCT (Nihao China Tour) to handle the travel logistics. We only arranged flights to Beijing and departing from Shanghai, and left everything else to NCT. Their staff were very professional, flexible, and most importantly, punctual. At every stop, there was always someone to meet us, never leaving us feeling lost or wondering what to do next and where to go. The schedule was flexible to meet our needs. We enjoyed private tours in Beijing, Shanghai, Guilin, and Zhangjiajie, and all the guides were very knowledgeable and courteous. Our travel coordinator, Lucy, was exceptional. The guides were excellent. We couldn't recommend NCT more enthusiastically. Thank you all for making this trip enjoyable and worry-free!!!

It all started with a great plan made by our consultant Sally and me. They offered various options that I could customize according to my family’s preferences and schedule. We originally planned to take the trip in June 2022, but for some reasons at that time, we couldn’t make it. Nihao China Tour delayed the whole trip by a year and a half, and we finally completed our trip to Guilin, Chengdu, and Yunnan in December 2023. The guides were very knowledgeable, the pick-up was punctual, and the chosen hotel locations were very central.
