We had a wonderful time! Everything was organized perfectly, and the guide and itinerary matched our expectations completely. The itinerary was engaging but not too packed because our interests were in exploring cultural and natural wonders. Fiona did an excellent job helping us plan the trip. Every time we arrived at a new location, there were professional receptionists and drivers to greet us, which made us feel very safe. The guides were outstanding, friendly, and easy to communicate with.

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.

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to Fiona for organizing our trip to China in December 2023. We spent 16 days exploring this amazing country and met the hospitable people of China. It was the best vacation of our lives, thanks to Fiona and Nihao China Tour (NCT) for arranging this trip for us; none of this would have been possible without them. Everything ran like clockwork, without any delays, perfectly organized. Thank you, Fiona.
We started from Beijing, toured Yunnan, which I had dreamed of visiting since childhood, saw the Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an, and enjoyed the urban charm of Shanghai.

We had a wonderful holiday in China. China is truly a fascinating country. Despite some concerns about the weather, we were lucky to see clear views of Zhangjiajie.
Nihao China Tour exceeded our expectations in every way. The planning was flawless. Every hotel we stayed at was fantastic. I'm glad we visited Yangshuo in Guilin. The tour guides were energetic and informative, always on time. The mountains of Zhangjiajie were breathtaking.
We would give Nihao China Tour a perfect score of 10 out of 10. For our future trips to China, we will definitely seek their help again.
Our travel consultant was Lily. She did an excellent job as a travel consultant. She has a wonderful personality and worked with us diligently to plan this trip. The itinerary was very well arranged, everything was well organized, and we were never confused about the next activity. Well done!

During our stay in China, every detail was perfect, the guide was outstanding, and communication was excellent. We will choose them again for our next trip to China.
