About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Redi4anotheradventur0 contributionsJust amazing, a bucket list experience.I booked two days with Nancy and it was by far the best way to see Datong. Datong is a hidden gem, with almost no western tourists. But in July / August, there are thousands of Chinese tourists. The key attractions are the Hanging Monastery and the Grottos. The Hanging Monastery is definitely a bucket list destination. Nancy was great we chatted easily all day about everything and anything. Without her the detail and context of the Monastery would have been lost. The next day, I left the itinerary completely up to her. We went 45 minutes out of town to see the forgotten sections of the Great Wall - an earth mound in a corn field. We then dropped in completely unannounced on a couple living in a cave house in the village. They were so welcoming an gave us fresh vegetables from their garden. Later we visited an abandoned military village. The amazing thing here was the tiles on the wall depicting the one child policy and the consequences of more than one. Nancy is a terrific guide and a wealth of information. I thoroughly enjoyed my two days with her, learning so much about Datong and China in general.Written September 16, 2024
- rmc13120 contributionsBest experience in DatongWe only have good words for Nancy and her drivers. They were very professional, pick us up at the exact time, good driving experience (not always is like this in China) and even, she solves a big problem we had with the cancellation of a train, and in few hours, se gave us an alternative with a good driver. So.... TOTALLY RECOMMENDED!!Written August 14, 2024
- MarcosB29370 contributionsBest decision ever for our China tripBest experience ever; we booked several transfers and ticket purchases for attractions and spectacles with Nancy in different cities (Beijing, Datong, Xi’an, Chengdu) and the experience couldn’t be better. She pays attention to details and she goes the extra mile by giving extra advise and tips; apart from giving amazing support. Don’t go to China without Nancy organizing your trip, best decision ever!Written July 23, 2024
- MarioGlen0 contributionsVery informative and nice day with SaraDid a day tour with one of the guids of Nancy, her name was Sara. Everything was organized very well. Sara knew a lot and was very happy to share all her knowledge of waht we visited. First we went to the Yungang Grottoes. After this we went to see the Hanging temples. We had some time left, so she wanted to show us another location. But we were tired and wanted to have a rest. But to offer this to us was very nice.Written May 19, 2024
- 19patrykb0 contributionsWell doneWell done, day before got all details for pick up location, time, driver contact with pictures ofnthe transportation. Strongky recommending.Written April 24, 2024
- siauweic0 contributionsDatong One Day TourOur driver 小郭 was fantastic! Despite being just a self-guided tour, our driver was very knowledgeable and shared history of the sights and attractions with us as well. Highly recommend this tour. Also thanks to Nancy for all the arrangement and coordination and for making our whole trip so seamless!Written April 15, 2024
- Bolno0 contributionsA must tour experienceExcellent easy way to see sites, Nancy provides a full insight to the sites. Transport is comfortable and modern. The Grottos Buddhist caves are the most impressiveWritten March 27, 2024
- martingM7114ZH0 contributionsGreat tour with a great guide :)Nancy is a great guide, professional and friendly. She speaks fluent English, we learned lots of things about the places we visited and about the local culture that we would have missed if it wasn’t for her. Both the Hanging Temple and the Grottoes are truly worth visiting, pictures don’t really reflect how beautiful or magnificent they are. We stopped for lunch at a local restaurant (not the typical overpriced restaurant for tourists). We had a great time!! We recommend it 100% 😊Written March 20, 2024
- Alexandros L0 contributionsGreat way to explore Datong’s unique attractionsWonderful guided tour of Datong main attractions, both of which were spectacular and unique to see and learn about. Nancy was very friendly, spoke good English and was very thoughtful to tailor the trip to our needs. The car was also very nice and spacious. Definitely recommend!Written January 12, 2024
- Connector598015433080 contributionsGreat ExperienceBoth the Yungang Grottoes and the Hanging monastery were beautiful and our guide Nancy, who could speak great English, was very informative. Highly recommended!Written September 18, 2023
- dimperioamb0 contributionsVery helpful, nice and instructive guideGreat guide, finally the very first person after 1 week in China with whom we could practically communicate in English. We were lucky with the queueWritten August 24, 2023
- lindacT4955GJ0 contributionsAmazing Datong and Nancy TourWe engaged Nancy for a private tour prior to travelling to China. Nancy was fantastic to deal with, she went above and beyond what we initially engaged her for. For example she assisted us with our travelling plans when we had issues with our train.She organised and paid (in the interim) for ticket changes and helped us with language translations. Nancy was a fantastic tour guide, professional, incredibly helpful, sincere and honest. We do not hesitate to recommend her,Written January 25, 2020
- Andres J0 contributionsIf you want personalised service, this is your tourShe picks you up at whatever time your arrive by train or plane. She helps you to book an hotel for hours to rest between trains. She go with you on a van sharing with maximum 9 pax and at the best times to avoid queues. Also bring the group to a cheap typical restaurant. Safer than try to find a taxi and with fluent englishWritten December 27, 2019

Nancy was extremely patient and knowledge guide. At every single place my parents and I went to in Dating Nancy would patiently wait as we took thousands of photos and spent hours in the shops.
Can't forget to comment about the amazing restaurant she took us on the way to the hanging temple. No other words, amazing tour!!

My boyfriend and I took a 2 day private tour with Nancy.
All I can say is WOW!! Money well spent! What an experience!
Fist of all Nancy is amazing. Fluent English and we were driven in a luxury car for two days surrounding Datong’s amazing landscape. I cannot stress enough how incredible the sights are! You will see for four selves. Trip of a lifetime !!!
Not only that she showed us historically incredible landscapes but she also gave us a personal take on how history and modern China come together. We got to visit a regular village and meet nice people that live off of the land.
One of the reasons we love China is because of her. She is talented, loving, caring, and she will do everything possible to make your experience amazing. At the same time her spirit, curiosity and love of life are inspiring.
If you have time book her food tour! Starting with traditional breakfast, then hot pot, traditional Datong noodles, yummmmm!!! And she knows the best coffee in town -that’s a great find!
I hope that if you get to visit Datong you will take a tour with Nancy. You will not regret it!

My wife and I had the pleasure of touring with Star (Nancy's) partner for 2 days in Datong and the nearby areas. It was the most memorable experience of our week-long trip in China. Star was kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. Our driver was also really great. Nancy is prompt with her responses, adaptable with the schedule, and very professional. I would, without any reservations, recommend her tour company. Pricing is also very reasonable. For those of you still debating whether or not to visit Datong, I would highly recommend it. It still has a smaller town feel but with all the amenities of a larger city. Food is significantly cheaper, and the people are kind.
