Our family (4 adults + 2 teenagers) had an extraordinary trip in China arranged by NCT (Nihao China Tour). This was my first vacation where I didn't have to worry about anything. We worked with Snow, and she was fantastic. Every time we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and safely transferred to our destination. The guides were excellent, teaching us a lot about Chinese cuisine and culture.

Thank you for an incredible journey with Nihao China Travel. We had a wonderful trip and everything went smoothly as planned. The local guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful. I wouldn't change a thing about this trip. I can't wait to recommend Nihao China Travel to my friends and family. I can't imagine exploring China any other way.

We had the absolute best time! Everything was wonderful, especially not having to worry about guides and transportation. Nihao China Tour did an excellent job in coordinating everything. I truly recommend them and have already told several people!
Let me give some specifics! Eric in Xi'an was fantastic. He was always willing to communicate between us and the street vendors, explaining what they were selling. If we weren't interested, he would politely tell them, and they would leave. We only know a few basic Chinese phrases, so this was very helpful and reassuring.
Allen in Zhangjiajie was charming, polite, and inspiring! He was very knowledgeable about everything and did an excellent job keeping us informed and engaged. His photography skills were also commendable, helping us take some unique shots at the mountain top!
Grace in Yunnan was passionate and informative.
The drivers were very polite, punctual, and helpful—overall, it was an unforgettable holiday and truly fulfilled an item on our bucket list. If we decide to visit another place we're interested in, like Tibet, we will definitely reach out to them again.
Our coordinator Lily was patient, helpful, and a great expert advisor!

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.
