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).
