One of best customer service experience and transportation I have ever received. I would have highly recommend using this service for all your needs. Huda deserves a 5 STAR rating ★
Loved my trip to China (Shanghai, Suzhou, Beijing) thanks to HCT. My travel agent, Huda, was responsive and efficient. Everything was organized to perfection including the guides, the drivers, the cars, the excursions. They also provided the invitation letter I needed and were very accommodating whenever plans had to change. Even when something wasn't available, they found great alternatives. I highly recommend them for your visit to China.
First time using this company and arranged a solo trip to Zhangjiajie from 30 Aug to 5 Sept 2025. Making payment with Alipay was easy and itinerary was flexible since I also wanted to travel to Furong Ancient Town because I heard it was very beautiful and Huda helped to arrange for it. It was a well arranged trip and very scenic too. Will use this company again if I visit China next round.
I had just a short stopover in Hong Kong, but HelloChinaTrip organized everything perfectly. From the airport pickup to watching the city lights from Victoria Peak, it all went so smoothly. Our guide also showed us a small local dim sum place that tourists don't usually know about. Perfect!!
