I went early in the morning on a Friday which meant the streets were still quite empty. The guide was flexible and took me to see a small private garden. Then we took a boat through the main canal and a smaller canals. The smell from the restaurants made my mouth water! The guide was ready to make safe and sensible suggestions on what to eat. I ate a rice cake with pork inside and it was delicious but very filling. Walking through the private residential area was very peaceful.

We are a group of Ex-pats who have been in Shanghai an average of 7 years. We can honestly share that this experience will be one of the high lights of our time here. It is one thing to view the Bund from either side looking over to the other. It exceeds your expectations to see it from the middle of the river. Alana was an outstanding host from start to finish. She checked in during the entire process making sure we had what we needed and even thought of extra ways to make this celebration better. The Champaign was Moet and the View was priceless. Thank you again for making our time in your beautiful city even more memorable. Cheers!!!!!

Ava my guide was fantastic. Friendly, informative and funny. I had a bespoke tour after being picked up from the station. I was taken to every site I had requested and given free time to wander the shopping street and museum. I traveled to Nanjing alone and couldn’t have wished for a better companion to take me on my two day tour. Sunny checked in regularly to make sure all was well and the driver had brilliant local knowledge in order to miss the worst of the traffic during the tomb sweeping festival weekend. I highly recommend this tour and hope you have a great time in beautiful Nanjing!!

This was a fantastic day trip with friends. Worth the almost 2 hour trip there! We had a great time exploring the site, went up on the cable car and then walked back down. Beautiful scenery of the lush bamboo trees. Would definitely recommend a visit to get away from the city and out into nature.
