Our tour guide, Liu Suli, provided a very professional tour. She explained both the historical and cultural aspects, as well as the local customs, with great clarity. She also handled unexpected situations, such as needing to change routes due to crowds, with ease. The entire trip was very smooth, and our family thoroughly enjoyed it. If we had more time, we would definitely book another tour with her. Thank you for allowing us to experience Nanjing in the most wonderful way. It truly lives up to what our guide said: Nanjing is like a living history book.

The guided tours at DaBaoEn temple and NiuShouShan were excellent. Both locations were breathtaking and the explanation by the guides just gave the entire experience more meaning.

This worked very well, you just scan your QR code to enter. There is quite a lot of walking, even if you use the little blue tourist buses (which accept WeChat Pay (not Alipay) and cash and cost 10 CNY). This is mainly an outdoor activity and Nanjing can be very hot in the summer. The visit will take about half a day and you can reach it with the metro. Furthermore note that most people only speak Mandarin.

We requested a Japanese-speaking guide, who was from China. Initially, I was very nervous, but the guide calmly explained that the museum wasn't simply about Japan being bad, but rather a memorial to build a peaceful future from an objective perspective. This put me at ease, and I was able to learn a great deal. Thank you very much. Understanding the history of aggression helps one objectively grasp why wars occurred and why Japan suffered. I believe it would be very educational for Japanese visitors. It is essential to know the past.

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.

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 🪱

I had a great experience with the immersive dinner and dance show. Lucy, who helped me to book this particular show, was super helpful. She knew I didn't know Mandarin, so she still managed to communicate with me very effectively and made sure that I reached the venue in time, and it was really going out of the way. The entire experience, from booking to interacting with the tour operators, to going there, getting ready in comfort, and the entire show was really mesmerizing. I felt very welcome, and even though I did not speak the language, the entire experience was seamless. I highly recommend it, and a special thanks to Lucy for making it so.

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. ❤️

I am very glad that I did the one-day Nanjing tour with the private tour company. The local tour operator was very good. They immediately contacted me after I booked and made sure that I understood the terms and conditions and how things would work. My tour guide-Lily, spoke perfect English. She was very knowledgeable about Mating. We managed to do a lot in a day, and she gave me a very good history of Nanjing. We had a really nice experience also using public transport, which I wanted to do like a local. The food was good, her recommendations were great. I felt that the whole day I spent there was a great insight into Nanjing as a cultural city.
