The tour was excellent, and we would especially like to thank our guide Denice, who was wonderful, cheerful, knowledgeable, and a truly lovely person! 😊 Everything was very well organised and flexible to individual preferences. Personally, we would especially highlight lunch with a local dishes and our visit to The Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders, which greatly expanded our understanding of Chinese history. Without her explanations, we would never have learned so much. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who would like to discover Nanjing and experience its local culture.
Eleven was an excellent, informative guide for our group of three active adults. She deserves the four stars. Dealing with the tour organiser wasn't as easy. We booked this tour because it was private and in its own words "you can do what you want". Wasn't the case. We only wanted to see elements of Purple Mountain and not traipse to many different parts of Nanjing as we did that very easily on our own without a guide. We were discouraged from doing things we wanted to do and encouraged to stick to their plan. With that in mind our group of three walk fast and learn fast - our six hour tour was over in less than four. Definitely not the guides fault. If you want to dawdle and see the standard sites this tour may suit you.
Dear Guests, Thank you for the review! Sorry our tour is flexible and customizable but indeed we focus mainly on the standard sites , we tried to accomodate your requests to visit some" unsual places " but due to your time constrain ( you only arrive noon midday ) and most sits close by 17.00. We did not mean to discourage you anything just be very transparent while planing your intinerary pre-ahead and share with your the timing and possible routes coud be done. But you said you could walk fast to catch up so your guide did accomodate the pace with you. The tour run bit shorter because you told the guide you were tired in the end need to return ealier with all the major sites already been covered. Hope you will return to see more beautiful Nanjing in the future. Cheers! Lily
We loved this tour! Our tour guide Eleven was so knowledgeable and really took care of us! She spoke English very well and went above and beyond, even allowed is to make stops when we needed fo le photo opportunities and shopping. The driver was also very attentive and they had very good communication whenever we needed drop off and pick up. We went during a National Holiday which was extremely busy but she handled everything effortlessly for us. I highly recommend this tour and ask for Eleven you won’t be disappointed! She was so sweet and we loved the lunch she took us to as well. ❤️🫶
Thanks Betty for a great tour of Nanjing! You were very helpful and I appreciate you taking care of all the details throughout the day. I would highly recommend you to anyone needing a guide in Nanjing!
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 loved the tour. Mike was amazing. The whole experience is top notch. Would strongly recommend to anyone interested in history of Nanjing.
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.
The tour was really good. The places we visited were very interesting and the tour guide Lily was very helpful and attentive throughout the whole day. Many pictures were taken and my experience was the best possible.
Booked tour via TripAdvisor. Guide is Fred and driver is Xiao Lee. Fred is knowledgeble, professional. Our driver is accommodating and caring. Definitely recommend this tour.
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!
