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...

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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.

Excellent relaxed time, the guide (Chris) was knowledgeable and very flexible as to itenaries and ideas. She was very helpful at the Ming tombs and assorted tourist shops later. Would definitely recommend f she is a star!

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! ☺️

Set in a naturally acoustic environment, this venue exudes an artistic charm that transcends time. White doves gracefully circle the elegant structure, adding an ethereal touch to its solemnity. When the surrounding forests burst into vivid colors, the Music Stage transforms into a different kind of beauty, radiating the brilliance of a century-old architectural masterpiece.

Lovely personalised visit of main attraction of the city. They reached out to me few days before asking g me what I’d like to visit and they tailored the visit to my liking. Since I’m into nature sightseeing they arranged for me visit in structured in nature.
