Tour guide is extremely professional, knowledgable and explains everything deeply. It's a lot of walking ups and downs in the heat and waiting time for transfers ,but its worth a visit while u have stamina.

We had an amazing experience with our Klook private tour in Nanjing! Everything was well-organized, from meeting us at Nanjing South Railway Station to exploring the beautiful sights of the city. Our tour guide was exceptional, she was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating. What truly stood out was how our guide went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful day. They were patient, attentive to our needs, and always willing to help, making the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. We felt well taken care of throughout the tour. Thank you for making our visit to Nanjing so memorable. We highly recommend this private tour to anyone looking for a personalized and enjoyable experience!

Our tour guide, Xuanxuan, planned the itinerary perfectly, and her explanations were incredibly lively and engaging. Many historical anecdotes came to life through her descriptions, making it much easier to understand the historical background and stories of the time. The tour was rich in content but never felt dry, and the pacing was excellent. Highly recommended!

Koreans don't often travel to Nanjing, but it was a city I really wanted to visit. Most Koreans tend to go to places like Shanghai or Chongqing, so it was quite difficult for me to visit the important attractions in Nanjing. Planning was tough, and I didn't even know what there was to see. However, by taking this tour, I was able to easily visit Nanjing's main tourist spots without complicated WeChat reservations or troublesome procedures. WeChat always asks for verification, which is hard for Koreans to do. In particular, I was able to understand the historical sites like the Presidential Palace, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Music Stage, and Meiling Palace thanks to the guide's kind explanations! (I'm so glad I booked this tour because each place has an admission process, and the tourist area is huge, so you need to take a bus to get around. I wouldn't have been able to do it alone.) Although I don't speak much Chinese, the guide made a great effort to communicate with me... 🥰 (They even translated things like whether I needed to use the restroom or when to gather. They also helped me order food, which I'm very grateful for...) For those planning a trip to Nanjing from Korea, I highly recommend visiting all the major attractions through this one-day tour! The itinerary is much more substantial and better than other products. ❤️

My wife and I truly enjoyed the group tour. A few places exceeded my expectations, although I have researched and watched a few Vlogs, prior to the trip. The tour leader Xiao Liu organised and managed the group very well. His explanations at all the places we visited were very detailed and informative.

I loved the zoo. I saw many big cats and many big cats saw me . we saw a wriggly white worm - that was alarming. however the cats made it all better because they roared and the worm wriggled away 🪱

What to know before visiting Nanjing

Nanjing City at a glance

Nanjing City draws most bookings for tours, cultural experiences and historical sites, with museums and zoos/aquariums also featuring in visitor itineraries. Demand varies through the year, with clear high and low points that shape when activities are busiest.

Best times to visit and how prices move

Klook booking data show demand peaks in January and falls to a trough in August, with noticeably lower demand across late summer and early autumn. Prices drift up and down across the same window: Klook data indicate January is typically the cheapest month while June is typically the priciest, and prices rise sharply into mid-year before easing again. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, aim for the late-summer trough months; for peak-season atmosphere and the busiest activity options, plan for January when demand is highest.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Most travellers from Australia book about ten days ahead on average, with many still able to confirm bookings within the week before travel. If you have a short trip, you can be fairly flexible and book a few days out; if you travel in January’s busy period, consider locking in popular tours earlier. Use Klook to compare available tour and cultural options and secure preferred time slots without over-planning.
