I booked two days with Nancy and it was by far the best way to see Datong. Datong is a hidden gem, with almost no western tourists. But in July / August, there are thousands of Chinese tourists. The key attractions are the Hanging Monastery and the Grottos. The Hanging Monastery is definitely a bucket list destination. Nancy was great we chatted easily all day about everything and anything. Without her the detail and context of the Monastery would have been lost. The next day, I left the itinerary completely up to her. We went 45 minutes out of town to see the forgotten sections of the Great Wall - an earth mound in a corn field. We then dropped in completely unannounced on a couple living in a cave house in the village. They were so welcoming an gave us fresh vegetables from their garden. Later we visited an abandoned military village. The amazing thing here was the tiles on the wall depicting the one child policy and the consequences of more than one. Nancy is a terrific guide and a wealth of information. I thoroughly enjoyed my two days with her, learning so much about Datong and China in general.

We had a wonderful day tour with Nancy as our guide. She is very knowledgeable and ensured also our safety, along with the driver. Nancy showed us the treasures in the Datong area, making our trip unforgettable.

Tour of Datong from Beijing, a lever that was definitely worth it! Once at the railway station we met with great punctuality our Guide, Nancy, who welcomed us to her hometown giving us information and dive deeping us in the local history. Nancy was really friendly, time passed quickly during the journey from Datong to the "Hanging Temple." It is amazing how such a structure could have been built centuries ago! Nancy told us the story of the place, the uniqueness of the temple that houses three different but equally important cults in Chinese history. At lunch, Nancy took us to a very nice place with really good food, suggesting typical meat-filled pancakes... delicious! In the afternoon we visited the "Yungang Grottoes" and at the end of the tour Nancy took us to the city center where she greeted us giving us more advice. A 100% recommended tour, thank you again Nancy and 5 stars!

Our tour was led by Kevin, who spoke excellent English. He met us at our hotel, and the vehicle that was provided for our tour was comfortable and clean. Kevin's patience in explaining all the details of the Hanging Temple and Grottoes made it the tour come alive. He also helped us to take some family photos which helped make the day even more memorable. I would recommend the Datong day tour with either Nancy or Kevin.
