We recently returned from a 10-day trip to China, visiting Beijing, Tibet, and Guilin. We highly recommend the itinerary and service of Nihao China Tour (NCT). NCT is very professional, and our travel planner Sally customized the standard package based on our needs and provided great help when we needed to reschedule our travel. From start to finish, all travel arrangements were very well-planned and executed. Every pickup and drop-off was very punctual. Each tour guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable, offering wonderful insights into life in China, both past, and present. For a worry-free vacation, book NCT's travel services. We can't wait to travel with them again!

I cannot imagine how our trip could have been any better. The itinerary perfectly covered everything we wanted to do and was arranged in a thoughtfully designed order to help us acclimate to the high altitude. We absolutely loved the selected hotels, and the guides and drivers were knowledgeable and attentive, helping us fully experience every place we visited. I highly recommend NCT!

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!

Perfect. The itinerary was easy to follow and prepare for. The guide picked us up on time, was friendly, and spoke excellent English. The hotel was beautiful, and all breakfasts were included and quite wonderful. I would trust Nihao China Tour again. Fiona was able to make adjustments for us during the setup and in real-time while we were there. If she couldn't, I still would have understood, but she managed to do it. Very satisfied with their service.

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!
