We decided to travel to China on very short notice and with a tight schedule. NCT (Nihao China Tour) responded quickly and planned a well-priced trip that met our needs. During our stay in China, every detail was perfect, the guide was outstanding, and communication was excellent. We will choose them again for our next trip to China.

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.

My wife and I spent two weeks touring Tibet, Yunnan, and Shanghai. Thanks to Nihao China Tour (NCT), every part of the trip went smoothly. The drivers were always waiting for us and all the guides were excellent. The guides enthusiastically shared their knowledge of their country with us. The hotels were top-notch, and the staff were very helpful. I highly recommend using NCT to plan your trip to China.

When we arrived at Beijing Airport in China, our travel advisor Snow greeted us, which felt wonderful. China is incredibly beautiful, and we especially loved Zhangjiajie. Hello China Travel arranged all the transportation seamlessly. All the hotels matched the descriptions or were even better. We were amazed by the stunning scenery of Zhangjiajie and were glad to spend several nights there. The Great Wall and the Forbidden City did not disappoint. Exploring during the day and night was very safe and enjoyable.

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!
