Dear Nihao China Tour Team,
This truly was a once-in-a-lifetime trip... Our expert consultant Lily was an absolute treasure. I can't express how grateful we are for her; her efforts made our trip so memorable. She genuinely helped us every step of the way, making the journey so smooth that I never had to worry about transfers or bookings. This is a whole new way of traveling, and I don't think I can go back to my previous stressful planning routines. At every checkpoint, we had real people providing us with information and tickets, which was astonishing. My partner and I could ask questions anytime, and we felt supported throughout the entire 11 days.
Our first stop was Yunnan. I was a little hesitant about this unknown place, but Lily arranged an excellent guide named Allen for us, and we learned about the lifestyles of ethnic minorities.
The Forbidden City and Great Wall in Beijing were like scenes straight from a textbook. I am very glad we stayed here for two days.
In Chengdu, we stayed in a lovely boutique hotel, and I enjoyed reading about its history and the surrounding neighborhood.
Our final day in Shanghai was like a dream. We slept in, visited The Bund, and went to the Oriental Pearl Tower.
I can't praise Lily and all the guides, drivers, and hotels enough!

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!

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!
