          Professional Historical Nanjing Tour
          I had this tour recently and learned alot from Fred (王玮). He is a very professional, helpful and knowlegeable bilinggual guide. We went to Zhonghua Gate and museum, Sun Yat Sen mausoleum, Xiaoling Tomb of the first Ming Dynasty Emperor. From here I also learnt where and how some Chinese idioms come from. During the journey, he also shared other historical information and recommended me other places that I might be interested too. A very proactive guide indeed.

          The astounding Niushoushan Buddhist palace and temple complex
          Everything about the trip was wonderful. The driver and car were great and Lia was so knowledgeable about the history of Nanjing and about Buddhism and she was also so warm and friendly. The palace was just incredible, on a scale and with an opulence that’s pretty astounding, but I almost preferred the Ch’an garden and quiet temple that Lia took me to afterwards. Definitely recommend.

          A fulfilling and efficient experience
          We had a great time! I was visiting my girlfriend who was in China for the summer and we wanted to learn about the history of Nanjing. Our driver and our tour guide Fred were both great. Fred was very knowledgeable about the whole area and gave us a great understanding of the overall history of the area and a lot of niche facts. We specifically liked how efficient the travel was, as soon as we were done with one site, the drive picked us up at the exit and we were on to the next (while not feeling rushed). Fred did a great job of fitting in all 5 places we wanted to go (ming tomb, sun yatsen, nanjing memorial, jiming temple, chaotian palace) and get us back to our train on time. Over great experience!

          Nanjing in the Reublican era
          Fred was very knowledgeable and there is a lot to see in Nanjing. Particularly liked the Nanjing massacre memorial which was very well curated.

          Awesome guide
          Knowledgeable guide. Excellent English. The schedule is very flexible. In addition to a selection of the listed sites, we saw the Memorial Hall of the Nanjing Massacre, which is worth seeing. However, it's extremely disturbing, as you might imagine, so be prepared. We skipped the Xiaoling Tomb in order to have time for the Memorial Hall, but if we had it back we would have skipped the Confucian Temple Area, which is essentially modern.

          A must see for understanding the history of Nanjing and China.
          My guide was Fred, who spoke great English and was very knowledgeable about not only the places we visited, but Fred has worldly knowledge as well. The history was fascinating and Fred could answer any questions on it. I fully recommend the tour and maybe you might be lucky as I was to get my great guide Fred.

          Amazing experience!
          We had an amazing time on our tour with Francis! He spoke perfect English, was very polite and knowledgeable and taught us so many things we didn't know about Nanjing. Very funny and entertaining also! We came from New Zealand and had very little knowledge of China, so it was great to have a local show us around the city. Highly recommend!

          Great tour in Nanjing!
          I just had a great day with Fred. He was very good on explaining the history of the places we visited. Also, he knew the right time to avoid the crowd which was very convenient.

          Interesting, informative and fun
          A very relaxing tour that took in some great places. Chris was a very knowledgeable guide and was able to share some deep insights into Chinese culture and history as we discussed the places on the tour. Lunch was great but the highlight for me was a quirky bookshop in a beautiful old building. A great way to spend a day and fully recommended.

          A Wonderful Tour in Nanjing!
          Booking the trip was very easy via the Marriott website. Alana was very quick at responding on WeChat to our questions and confirmed the details with our tour guide. Our tour guide Emily was professional and personable and very knowledgable! She arranged all the transport and took us to the places we were to keen to visit in Nanjing. Everything went very well and it was a fantastic day! We will recommend the service to our family and friends when they visit China. Thank you Alana and Emily! ☺️

        What a wonderful evening! A delicious dinner at a very popular Chinese restaurant, where we could try the local salted duck specialty. Then, a night cruise on a dragon boat, to see all the lights and bridges on the river, and a tour through the Confucius Temple. The whole time, Alana and Fred made sure that we had a great table at the restaurant, ordered good food, and got tickets to help us to get to the front of all the lines. With almost 25 years' experience as a guide, Fred is very well-traveled, and had lots of history to share. And, Alana made sure we were well-informed about all of the details and helped to make sure we were so comfortable, every step of the way! We even ended up walking a little through the old town, and got ice cream! Our driver was terrific too. Such an easy, relaxing and enjoyable experience. One of our best nights in China, even with a little rain. Highly recommend this tour for a fun night in Nanjing!

        Absolutely worth it! We were in Nanjing with a layover of 29 hours, so we booked this tour without expecting too much.
        I was wrong, this tour is amazing, exceeded my expectations, the tour guide Ava is just great, smart and sweet.
        The driver was so punctual and helpful.

        We will be back some day for longer time. Thank you!!! 100% recommended.
