Our experience with NCT was great. Right from the start, Nina listened to what we thought was important and crafted a perfect itinerary. The guides, hotel accommodations, dining arrangements, and transportation logistics all went smoothly. All we had to do was show up on time. Our guides were knowledgeable, polite, and enjoyable to be around. Our experience included a food tour, museum visits, and lots of cultural education, making the trip unforgettable. We had busy days but also quiet times to relax and explore on our own. Overall, this was a once-in-a-lifetime trip. I highly recommend NCT.

Nihao China Tour is an excellent travel company perfect for family trips. Our family, including my wife and retired parents, chose NCT for our trip. From Shanghai to Chengdu to Xi'an, everything was fantastic. All transfers and tours were very punctual, waiting for us. The hotels and travel experiences were outstanding. Our Shanghai city tour guide was Grace, who was very knowledgeable and shared many fascinating stories. He took great care of my retired parents, arranging rest times for them. Highly recommend Grace as your guide! He is also an excellent photographer! In Chengdu, our guide was Vivian. She was also very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Vivian was very punctual and is a great photographer. Highly recommend Vivian as your Chengdu tour guide. We also had a culinary experience in Xi'an, cooking Chinese food in a private kitchen with a professional chef. It felt like having a homemade meal in someone's home, truly amazing! The services provided by NCT impressed us. Everything went very smoothly, exceeding our expectations.

We planned a once-in-a-lifetime trip to China and are glad we trusted NCT (Nihao China Tour) to handle the travel logistics. We only arranged flights to Beijing and departing from Shanghai, and left everything else to NCT. Their staff were very professional, flexible, and most importantly, punctual. At every stop, there was always someone to meet us, never leaving us feeling lost or wondering what to do next and where to go. The schedule was flexible to meet our needs. We enjoyed private tours in Beijing, Shanghai, Guilin, and Zhangjiajie, and all the guides were very knowledgeable and courteous. Our travel coordinator, Lucy, was exceptional. The guides were excellent. We couldn't recommend NCT more enthusiastically. Thank you all for making this trip enjoyable and worry-free!!!
