Fred is great. He is a very good tour guide. Wherever I went, he gave me a detailed explanation and description of the historical events. It was extremely helpful to understand the history of different places I went to. Fred was friendly and helpful. Therefore, I am very happy with his service.
Fred was a great tour guide. His English was perfect and his knowledge of Chinese history and culture was impressive. He explained everything clearly and showed us great sites. Highly recommend touring with Fred (Chinese name Wong Way but probably not spelled that way)
Really nice tour. Only one day and we saw so much. The guide was excellent with good English and the car was luxurious. I can recommend this tour.
Fred was amazing! He was a fountain of information. I normally prefer to plan things out myself, but he was so informed that he added insight to our trip. It was nice to be able to relax and avoid handling logistics for the day. Loved it!
We loved meeting Fred and the driver, both very polite and friendly. Fred is very knowledgeable about all three sites plus more. We will definitely book with this tour guide again. Thanks, Liz and Robert Tang
Emily, our tour guide was very pleasant, nice, excellent English and described history and culture of Nanjing in details. 4 hours is really too short a tour to see all of Nanjing. Did have a good tour of the Ming Xiaolin tomb which is the highlight of Nanjing visit and a quick visit to the Nanjing Massacre Museum which has been vastly expanded than the last time I was there in 2011. The private car was clean and modern and the driver excellent and profession. Recommend the private car option especially during the weekend as public transportation will takes too much time to travel. Best to start from hotel which are closer to the historical places than Nanjing South station. Nanjing deserves at least 3 days to see all the histories and culture and museums but we were in Shanghai for 3 short days so traveled to Nanjing on the Highspeed rail for half a day. We were very grateful there is this 4 hour tour option.
Fred our tour guide was absolutely the best. Not only was he knowledgeable about the sites we visited - the Dr Sun Yat Sen and the Ming Xiao Ling Mausoleums - but he was also able to make the corresponding history of both eras interesting to my teenage children. Definitely the guide I would request the next time we go to Nanjing!
