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.

Stella and NCT (Nihao China Tour) planned and prepared our trip to China for the eight of us, and they did an outstanding job. The hotels and domestic flights she selected were excellent. The hotels offered plentiful breakfasts, friendly staff, convenient locations, and a great atmosphere. The guides and drivers were knowledgeable and helpful. Pre-checking in for domestic flights reduced airport stress and anxiety.
I would definitely recommend Stella and NCT to anyone considering visiting China!
Thank you for providing such an unforgettable experience.

We chose a fast-paced tour of Xi'an and Zhangjiajie, feeling it was the best experience. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and all the guides were excellent. Upon landing, our guide met us and took us to our first hotel, providing a detailed introduction of the entire itinerary and ticketing arrangements.
We toured the Li River and Yangshuo in Guilin and really liked our guide. She took us to some beautiful photo spots.
The guide in Zhangjiajie gave us great directions and suggestions, taking us through Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. He was an outstanding guide.
All the drivers and guides were very punctual and passionate about sharing their culture. They confidently answered all our questions during the trip and had great photography skills! The drivers safely took us to our destinations, and I felt well cared for overall.
Before the trip, Snow gave us a lot of useful advice, which helped me better prepare for the trip. She reminded me of things I might have forgotten (travel insurance, currency exchange, packing tips, etc.). She was very responsive to all my questions before the trip.
We greatly appreciated these details that made our experience effortless. The hotels were clean, and the hotel staff was friendly and helpful. My only complaint about the trip was that the hotel shower drainage was a bit slow. Other than that, the trip was fantastic!
