Nihao China Tour did an outstanding job organizing our trip in China. Everything met or exceeded our expectations. All the drivers were very punctual, and the tour guides were excellent. We were, of course, amazed by our visit to the Great Wall in Beijing. We encountered a bit of rain in the morning, but the weather gradually cleared as the day went on. This is one of our favorite trips ever. We highly recommend Nihao China Tour to anyone considering a trip to China!

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.

The driver responsible for our transfers made us feel very safe and secure. Our travel consultant Nina was outstanding, meeting all of my requirements. It was a pleasure working with her. We will recommend NCT (Nihao China Tour) to all our friends.

I can hardly believe how much I enjoyed my trip to China. I have always wanted to explore the beautiful scenery of China, and this trip exceeded my expectations. I have nothing but praise for Nihao China Travel. I discussed several different travel plans for China with them, and they provided tailored options for each of my ideas. Initially, I was a bit worried about using a travel agency I found online, but they made the whole planning process incredibly easy. Every time I arrived at a new location, there was a driver to pick me up and take me to my hotel. All the guides and drivers were excellent - punctual and accommodating of all my special needs. They provided a wealth of historical background on the sites we visited. Nihao China Travel also did a great job in selecting the hotels, which I found to be perfect.

Our honeymoon trip to China arranged by NCT was absolutely perfect. The tour guides and drivers picked us up on time every day. The guides were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We especially enjoyed our time with the guide and driver Sam in Xi'an. All the hotels were excellent. Our favorite was a hotel in Xi'an with outstanding service. The room and public spaces were lovely, and we enjoyed delicious breakfasts and dinners at the restaurant multiple times. All hotels booked by NCT included breakfast, which was essential before engaging in various activities. We felt very safe in every city, whether it was with the tour guides and drivers or the places we stayed. The itinerary planned by Fiona was perfect. This was a wonderful trip that we will cherish forever! Thank you NCT and Fiona for arranging this trip!
