From start to finish, our experience with NCT was fantastic. Our trip planner Stella knew exactly how to best arrange our itinerary and was flexible in customizing it based on our specific interests. Throughout the planning process, she was always very prompt and happy to answer all our questions. The logistics were impeccable, greatly reducing our stress and allowing us to fully enjoy our trip. At each location, guides met us promptly at the designated spots, and they were also excellently competent. Without their knowledge and experience, we would never have gained such deep insights. We highly recommend NCT to anyone planning a trip to China!

From the moment we started planning our trip with travel advisor Stella to the moment we returned to the airport, everything went smoothly, thanks to the enthusiasm and dedication of the NCT team. The hotel facilities were beautiful, and the staff were always very attentive and friendly. Our driver and guide, Andy and Frank, were very friendly and knowledgeable. Talking to them about anything related to China, whether it's history, politics, or culture, was always a pleasure. Stella made sure we were well-prepared, answered every question, sent very useful guides, and left no detail unaddressed in our planning. Highly recommend them!

My fiancée and I traveled in China for 13 days, and everything went smoothly! We didn't encounter any problems. The tour guides and drivers were always punctual or even early, and there were no mishaps along the way.
I particularly want to thank our Xi'an guide, Eric. The other guides were great too, but Eric made our travel experience especially unforgettable.
He was energetic and sincerely showed us the most intimate parts of his country, places that were not only important to foreigners but also held special significance for him. He didn't just recite facts; he shared his childhood memories of growing up in each region and used analogies to help us better understand why ancient Chinese people had certain beliefs and why they built structures in specific ways.
When someone is passionate about their work, it makes all the difference, and I will always remember everything Eric showed and explained to us.
Thank you very much, Eric, for sharing your passion and appreciation for this country with us!

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.

Working with Lily from Nihao China Tour ensured that planning our trip to China was completely hassle-free. We knew we wanted to visit Shanghai, Zhangjiajie, and Xi'an. She provided us with an excellent itinerary that included five-star hotels and private tours. She patiently followed up with me, answering all my questions and making the booking experience seamless. The documents and itinerary were well-organized and easy to follow.
We had the most knowledgeable guides and drivers taking us from one location to another. The guides and drivers were very punctual and kept us moving at a good pace, allowing us to experience everything China has to offer. The highlight of the trip was visiting Zhangjiajie.
I highly recommend Nihao China Tour to anyone seeking high-end services and who doesn't mind paying a bit extra for it.
