Review for Fred - Nanjing Private Tour Guide - We had the absolute pleasure of having Fred as our tour guide during a one-day layover in Nanjing on our way back to Australia, and he was nothing short of perfect! From start to finish, Fred exceeded all expectations. His English was flawless, and he had a fantastic sense of humor that made the entire experience both informative and fun. Fred crafted the perfect itinerary, ensuring we saw all the main sights of Nanjing in just one day. From the historic highlights to the hidden gems, we felt we got a real taste of China’s rich culture and history. His deep knowledge of the city and its heritage added so much value to the tour, and his friendly personality made us feel completely at ease. Having a personal driver was also such a wonderful touch. Our driver was brilliant—punctual, professional, and so skilled at navigating the city. It made getting around effortless and allowed us to maximize our time at each location without worrying about logistics. We can’t recommend Fred and his tour company highly enough. If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Thanks to Fred, we’re already planning a return trip to explore more of China. Truly an unforgettable experience!

Great experience in Nanjing. - Amazing tour with this company. The day prior the operator reached out to personalize the trip. Communication was smooth. The guide, Fred, was exceptional. He gave a very detailed English tour and helped us understand every aspect of the sites we visited. I highly recommend this tour.

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!

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.
