Reviews
I was deciding between a few different tours. I am very happy that I chose this. the film set was an unexpected surprise, very interesting and beautiful. Zhujiajiao was unique and much better than Zhounan. Overall, many thanks to the tour guide Jenny, who was one of the best tour guides I’ve had recently. She was responsible, enthusiastic, knowledgeable. highly recommend this tour.
Very happy to have joined this tour, the tour guide Chen chen (陈陈)did a good job showing us the different areas at the Shanghai Film Park and the Zhujiajiao Ancient Town. She also helped us to take photos! Good duration, not too short or long. Just take note of extra payment (acceptable cost) to pay for lunch and boat ride.
I think the Shanghai Film Park was better than I expected. Quite an interesting experience to see many different dramas and movies setting that I enjoyed in life. Impressive work of the place. The lunch was great. All dishes were delicious and came in wide variations. My family and I enjoyed the boat ride within the Zhujiajiao. Like the vibes of the place.
Coach left on time. About an hour bus journey one way. Took longer to return to the meeting place because of traffic jam. The highlight is the 6 seater boat ride, not incuded in the fare. Given about 2.5 hour to walk around on our own. Lots of shops for snacks and souvenirs. Scenic n worth the fare. Booked the standard Chinese tour and it was combined with another group. So we get two tour guides, English and Chinese speaking. Both Jenny and Tan Chen did a good job.
Well planned tour and highly interactive. Bus is new and leaves promptly at 830am on an electric bus with charging ports on board. Spent about 2hrs guided tour at the Film Park before heading for an optional lunch at RMB50 per person with about 10 dishes. Thereafer, head to Zhujiajiao where you have the option to take the boat ride for RMB50 per person or walk the ancient town at your own discretion for about 2hrs before meeting up at the tourist centre at 4pm to head back to Park Hotel drop off point. 陈导 is good in explaining the sights and points to take picture at as well as potential tourist traps. It is a good day tour to experience a different side of Shanghai especially for this price point if you are staying in Jing’an/Nanjing Road area, as the Film Park and Zhujiajiao is about 1.5hrs car ride away.
My wife and I signed up for the one day tour to Shanghai Film Park and Zhujiajiao. The tour guide, Chen Hua is a very experience and knowledgeable guide. We were allowed to catch a glimpse of the war torn buildings inside the film park. His lunch recommendation for the group were marvelous, 12 dishes in all! At Zhujiajiao, he briefed us of the things to avoid buying, comparing prices amongst the stores and we were by our own after the boat ride. The whoke day itinerary were relaxed and well paced. my wife and I enjoyed the tour thoroughly.
A day trip that was great value for money! If you're staying in Shanghai and looking for something to do outside the city, this is a nice experience. The visit to Zhujiajiao especially was beautifully scenic. Our guide was very kind and the itinerary was well planned!
Our tour guide Jack came to pick us up from our hotel. Despite the cloudy drizzly day, my family of 3 really enjoyed the trip to the film park and Zhujiajiao. Jack is very fluent, knowledgeable and patient. We even had lunch at a local restaurant. I would definitely recommend the private tour, a bit costly but well worth it.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared lots of useful advice throughout the trip, which we really appreciated. They explained the history and local highlights well and gave helpful recommendations. However, the itinerary at Zhujiajiao felt a bit too rushed, and we would have loved more time to explore and enjoy the area at a more relaxed pace. Overall, it was still a good experience thanks to the guide’s expertise and helpfulness.
The tour is really worth. Eventhough it was raining, but we really enjoy this tour. We joined the boat cruise, Zhujiajiao is so pretty and many beautiful spots for photos. Our tour guide Linda is very nice and friendly. She recommended to us many activities to do for spending free time there. Thank you!!
