Great guide, flexible tour - If you are an English speaker and can afford it, the best way to hit up a city in China is with a private, guided tour. A group of us had a day off from work and we were able to use this company for a tour of Nanjing.
We were picked up from the high speed station by our driver and guide (Maggie). Per our research (on Tripadvisor) we ended up going to a bunch of sights, at our own pace, finishing the included lunch, ending up at the markets for some shopping. Maggie was a great help throughout - regaling us with stories, both historical and personal and even helping us negotiate prices at various tourist traps.
Do your research, create an itinerary, have your host negotiate with the company on the phone and you should have a good experience.

Plenty of good sights in Nanjing... - <p>Plenty of good sights in Nanjing. My guide, Wang Jian, was knowledgeable, flexible, and a good guy. He adjusted timing etc based on what I liked and didn't. We had a great tour and a great conversation. <br/>
I highly recommend doing a tour with him.</p>
