This trip to China exceeded all my expectations. Our tour guide every day was very knowledgeable, fun, and friendly.
The most amazing sight was the Great Wall in Beijing. Who could imagine that ancient China could build such advanced fortifications? It was simply breathtaking.
I would definitely recommend Hello China Tours to anyone traveling to China.
Thank you, Hello China Tours, for giving me an unforgettable journey.

This was the best vacation I've ever had. We hired a travel agency to help us create the simplest and best travel plan for me, my husband, and our children. My daughters are 12 years old this year, and I was worried that they would have trouble in a large group. This travel agency arranged a private tour for us, following our own pace. The guide, the scenery, and the country were all beautiful. My daughters loved the giant pandas, and my husband and I thought Yunnan was the most beautiful place. There were activities suitable for everyone, and the best guides, hotels, and staff. They cared about and listened to each of us. Not a single pickup was missed. Not a single detail was forgotten! Thank you, NCT! We will come back and bring more people with us. Nothing I bring can express how special this trip and these people are.

I joined the nine-day trip with NCT (Nihao China Tour) and absolutely loved it. Stella patiently worked with me to finalize the perfect itinerary. I really enjoyed China, and without NCT's services, I wouldn't have had the chance to see so many places. As a solo female traveler, I didn't have to worry about safety issues as usual, and the smooth logistics allowed me to truly enjoy every moment. I didn't have to think about transportation problems, always meeting friendly and interesting guides on time. I highly recommend using their services to plan your trip.
