Our trip to China was an unforgettable experience. We booked the trip to celebrate our graduation but quickly found the planning process a bit overwhelming. We found Nihao China Tour (NCT) and quickly got in touch with our trip planner Lucy. We communicated via email, and Lucy created a customized itinerary that fit our schedule, allowing us to see all the attractions in a short time while still enjoying each destination. Lucy was very helpful throughout the planning process and answered all our questions before we left. At the airport, we were met by an NCT representative who provided us with all our pre-booked tickets and introduced us to our itinerary. Our hotels were charming and comfortable, conveniently within walking distance to the center market and city area. The private guides and transportation arrangements in Hong Kong, Guilin, Tibet, and Beijing were perfect. All the guides were wonderful – knowledgeable, friendly, fun, and always willing to take countless photos for us. I would recommend NCT and Lucy to anyone planning a trip to China!
