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 🪱

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 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. ❤️

What to know before visiting Nanjing

Quick Nanjing City snapshot and what draws visitors

Nanjing City attracts most bookings for Tours, followed by cultural draws such as zoos & aquariums, museums, historical sites and cultural experiences. Demand cycles strongly through the year, with a clear winter peak and a deep late-summer trough that shapes when people visit.

Best times to visit and how prices move

Klook booking data shows demand peaks in January and bottoms out in August; September and October also see much lower demand. Prices follow a similar rhythm: they trend down through the summer into August, which Klook data shows is typically the cheapest month, and then rise toward spring when May appears as the priciest month in recent bookings. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, plan for August or the surrounding autumn months; if you prefer peak-season atmosphere and livelier sights, aim for January or the spring months when demand and prices are higher. Note that demand and price mostly move together here — quieter months also tend to be cheaper.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong

Most travellers from Hong Kong book about ten days ahead on average, with many last-minute bookings possible within about six days but some people booking earlier. If your trip is short and flexible, you can book a few days out for many experiences; if you travel in peak months like January, give yourself more lead time and secure popular tours in advance on Klook.
