I had a wonderful time on this tour. It was a fairly big group but our guide, Gary, kept everyone organised and on time (speaking two languages as well!)! The food Gary recommended (and ordered for us at one place) was all delicious. It was a very hot day and he provided free water which was great. The itinerary was good and I felt like we had the perfect amount of time at each spot. You get free time to roam around on your own. I’d definitely recommend doing the sunset version so you see sunset at Jiufen. Thank you to Gary once again. I had a great day.

I was wondering if the kids would still like it when they grow up, but they were so happy that they were still excited before going to bed! Especially the gold car made them very happy! It's great! It's worth going! (10 years old, 7 years old)

It is easy to order, pick up tickets, and take the train. With good discounts, it is even cheaper and more time-saving than taking the Taiwan Railway. Time is money, and I will take it again next time!

The advance ticket is 400 yuan. You cannot eat or drink in the exhibition hall. It is a very worthwhile exhibition. As a senior Doraemon fan, you must come to see it. There are all kinds of Doraemon, and you can take pictures all the time. It is very easy to take pictures.

The day was packed, and the tour was organized. A bit tiring but despite the packed itinerary, enough time was allocated for each place. Our guide Iris was organized and diligent. The instruction were clear and the bus transfer was convenient and clean
