Denice was a super guide for us. We had just one day to see the sights of Nanjing and she ensured that we finished the main sights well in time. But what was very important was her fluency with English , her knowledge of history in which we were very interested and her eagerness to tell us as much as possible.
My family and I came to Nanjing for a visit. Our tour guide was Eleven; she received us very warmly, gave excellent explanations of Chinese culture (which left a deep impression on me), and also recommended wonderful restaurants that we really enjoyed!
It was very kind and detailed explanation. Tour guider was so professional. Thank you very much for all.
We are an older couple and needed someone who could help us with seeing the sights. She took us to all the places we wanted to see. Also she took us to excellent restaurants.
Our family had a wonderful trip to Nanjing. The tour guide was very enthusiastic and professional, which made our journey a pleasant one.
Our tour guide was Eleven. We visited the Presidential Palace, where she proved to be extremely knowledgeable. She gave detailed and vivid explanations of modern Chinese history, making the entire experience very relaxed and enjoyable. Usually, history can be quite dull, but her storytelling was so engaging and interesting. Later, we went to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, which has a history of over 600 years. The guide mentioned that this is a place with excellent feng shui, and the mausoleums of many emperors and China's founding father are located here. Of course, the scenery there is also incredibly beautiful. If you ever travel to Nanjing, I highly recommend this tour agency—their service is excellent and very professional.
And let’s not forget how funny and easygoing they are! They totally broke the stereotype of the “stiff, by-the-book tour guide.” There were so many moments where their jokes had our whole group laughing, and they were always happy to chat, answer random questions, or even adjust the pace a little if we wanted to linger at a spot. It never felt like a rushed “check-the-sights” trip—more like exploring the city with a friend who knows all its secrets.
I can’t say enough good things about my recent day tour in Nanjing—all thanks to our wonderful young female guide!Our first stop was the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall, a deeply moving site. What stood out most here was her incredible knowledge—she shared detailed, respectful insights into World War II historyLater, we visited Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, and her storytelling skills shone even brighter! She walked us through fascinating tales of the Ming Dynasty, but the most memorable one was about a Ming emperor who was obsessed with carpentry—so much so that he chose to focus on his craft instead of ruling, even staying away from court for decades.she made every part of the day enjoyable. If you’re planning a trip to Nanjing and want a guide who blends expertise with a friendly, approachable vibe, look no further—she’s the best choice! Highly recommended!
