Great overview of Nanjing city - We did this quick tour of Nanjing as a day trip from Shanghai. Sunny was very easy to communicate with, open to accommodating our train schedules and discussing customized trip plan as well as squeezing in as many sights as humanly possible within the short time frame. The guide assigned to us (Emily) was very knowledgeable of the city and history, also very patient with our family. By the way, just to set some expectations: the trip was advertised as 7-8 hours with 5 spots, but I would actually suggest at least 9 hours to really cover all of them. Nevertheless, we miraculously did all 5 in a little less than 9 hours and still made our train back to Shanghai! It was definitely quite fast-paced, but we enjoyed it. Local lunch was delicious. The van was clean and comfortable. Thanks again, Sunny and Emily (and Mr Driver, sorry forgot your name)!

Expert guide and wonderful introduction to historical capital Nanjing - Emily is a wonderful guide - expert, personable, flexible, relatable. With her help we not only efficiently experienced the main sights but also booked Nanjing museum tickets and tasted a Nanjing lunch full of duck delicacies. Thank you again, Emily!

Fantastic Guide and Tour - John took us around to see all of the highlights of Nanjing. He made sure we got everywhere on time and also got ahead of the crowds and lines. His English was great and he explained a lot about the history of Nanjing. Highly recommend him for your trip to Nanjing!!!

Had a hugely great time! - I had also taken an earlier trip using Sunny in Suzhou and the whole setup was efficient as expected. Communication with Sunny was a breeze and all the logistic setups were seamless. I would highly recommend! My guide for Nanjing was Denise, and she was terrific. She had lots of interesting little tidbits of knowledge on Nanjing and the various dynasties that she wasn’t afraid to share. Hence it wasn’t a very cookie-cutter, but personalized tour and getting to know the local view points. My favorite one that had us in stitches was the bit about the Ming Empreor that was more interested in becoming a carpenter / wood-worker than being an empreror. She also brought me to a very local place to have some Nanjing speciality duck noodles which was extremely tasty. It was a great time with her and getting to know from a real local lens on such a historical city such as Nanjing.

Amazing day in Nanjing with Mr. Wang (Fred) - We had a wonderful time with Mr. Wang (Fred). He picked my son and me up at the train station and spent nine hours with us, showing around Nanjing and all the sites listed and more. He is extremely knowledgeable about history, architecture, travel, among many other topics and speaks perfect English. He went out of his way to accommodate us and everything we wanted to see. It was pouring all day but it seemed like a perfect sunny day for us. We highly recommend this tour and Mr. Wang (Fred) who also gives tours in Shanghai and other places. We now want to come visit Nanjing again and spend more time here because of the wonderful experience he provided for us.

August 27 Nanjing City Tour for three - Our tour guide, Emily, was excellent! She was very knowledgeable and provided the historical perspective, which enhanced our experience. We enjoyed all aspects of the tour, and really appreciated our driver’s skill in navigating the heavy Nanjing traffic, particularly in the Purple Mountain area. The Nanjing Massacre Memorial was a sobering reminder of man’s inhumanity, but with hope present, too, in those that helped the refugees during that terrible time and those telling the story now so no one will forget. We did run short on time, but Emily still was able to provide us with the opportunity to visit the Nanjing City Wall to view it and hear about its history. Much appreciated. Would highly recommend this tour!!
