My father, me, and my nephew had great time taking this one day city tour with Fred as our tour guide. He shared us a very complete and comprehensive history of China. From imperial era until current modern day. Too bad Nanjing masacre hall is closed for renovation.

The tour coordinator Alana reached out before the day to arrange for all necessities, introducing the tour guide Mr.John, understanding requirements, reminding me to bring along the passport. On the tour day, John was ready at the hotel lobby by the appointment time. After a short discussion about the itinerary, we were on the road. During the whole day, John walked me the history of the city from the ancient time to the Republic era with a vast knowledge. At the mountain, he was very attentive during the hiking up and down so I can easily navigate in my own space. A Nanjing native himself, John knows the city and shares with me interesting tips about things to do and places to eat with a local's perspective. Before ending the day, sweet of him writing down my interested places in both English and Chinese characters in case I need help on the road later on. Strongly recommended for first time foreigners visiting Nanjing. It's a great way to familiarize yourself with the city.

I learned so much from Fred about the rich history, interesting tales and facts of China as we went through all the main sights in a day. Efficient and informative.

I had been looking forward to this visit for a long while: finally, with the help of the capable Alana of Amazing Jiangnan Trip, it became reality! The place enshrines a very important Buddhist relic, representing the continuity from the past into the future of Zen Buddhism through one of the most outstanding and mesmerising architectural masterpieces constructed in recent years. Indeed, the temple, consisting of six floors, most of which are underground, has been built recently (2013-2015), but in a few centuries it will fully represent the newly-found wealth and power of XXI century modern China. The government invested a huge amount of money to preserve the important relic, in accordance to the law, where each of the official religions freely practiced in the vast nation is protected. It was a wise decision, as the Niushou site is now visited especially by youngsters showing a new interest in Buddhism and ancient traditions. Visually, the temple is simply stunning. Each decorative element, put together in an effort to evoke the divine, has a deep meaning for the devotee: here comes my gratitude towards my guide for the day, the kind and knowledgeable John. He patiently explained all symbolism, the fascinating religious traditions and Buddhist legends during the extensive visit. We had a wonderful, rich vegetarian lunch at the beautiful temple canteen, then proceeded to climb up one of the tall pagodas in proximity, enjoying the entire panorama of Nanjing. During my week-long visit to Nanjing I used the services of three different excellent guides from the very same agency, and it was the best choice ever! I fully recommend this private tour in particular, it's different from anything you will ever see...

My guide was exceptional and well versed on the stories of Nanjing and how it played its part in chinas history. He communicated well and I would gladly recommend him and thank him again for making my day in Nanjing so memorable.

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.

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.

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!

I really enjoyed the tour. It was very interesting to see the history of Nanjing. John was a great tour guide. I recommend him. He helped me a lot.

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

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.

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.

The tour was well organised and I was able to see the beauty of Nanjing. Mr. Fred was my guide and he was so knowledgeable of the history of Nanjing, and spoke great English. I was very happy with this tour and would recommend to anyone .

Francis was superb! I only have one day in Nanjing, he tried his best to help me get the most out of it. Very knowledgeable and passionate about his city! Would definitely recommend
