I had a oneday Nanjing tour with my son. The guide was experienced and knowledgeable. And also,friendly and eager to help us. Nanjing has many impressive historical sites. We really enjoyed touring Nanjing, and it would be impossible to see these sites in such an effective way,without the help of our guide and driver. I really thank them, and recommend this tour.

I’m so glad we booked the full day tour of Nanjing! Denice was a great tour guide; she gave us a good historical overview to help us understand the sites we saw, including the Nanjing city wall gate, Dr. Sun Yat Sen’s mausoleum and the Ming Tombs. She was very entertaining, and we enjoyed touring with her. We had a delicious lunch and the private car was very comfortable and luxurious.

A great day out with guide Lily and driver Zhao wei min. It was a hot day but air conditioned car and cold water (thank you for getting extra supplies!) were a saviour. Lily’s knowledge of history was amazing and she was happy talk about life in China for her generation. Fascinating! They tailored the trip to suit me and went out of there way to fit everything in. Highly recommend!

We did this quick tour of Nanjing as a day trip from Shanghai. Sunny was very easy to communicate with, open to accommodating our train schedules and discussing customized trip plan as well as squeezing in as many sights as humanly possible within the short time frame. The guide assigned to us (Emily) was very knowledgeable of the city and history, also very patient with our family. By the way, just to set some expectations: the trip was advertised as 7-8 hours with 5 spots, but I would actually suggest at least 9 hours to really cover all of them. Nevertheless, we miraculously did all 5 in a little less than 9 hours and still made our train back to Shanghai! It was definitely quite fast-paced, but we enjoyed it. Local lunch was delicious. The van was clean and comfortable. Thanks again, Sunny and Emily (and Mr Driver, sorry forgot your name)!

Emily is a wonderful guide - expert, personable, flexible, relatable. With her help we not only efficiently experienced the main sights but also booked Nanjing museum tickets and tasted a Nanjing lunch full of duck delicacies. Thank you again, Emily!

John took us around to see all of the highlights of Nanjing. He made sure we got everywhere on time and also got ahead of the crowds and lines. His English was great and he explained a lot about the history of Nanjing. Highly recommend him for your trip to Nanjing!!!
