    Fantastic! A must do if you’re in Shanghai

    Excellent tour. We were picked up in an immaculate Tesla from the edge of the French Concession area where we had another tour but we’re still dropped back to our hotel - there was absolutely no issues with this at all. The drive to the water town was easy and our guide, Snow, told us some key points about the city and the water town history and then let us sleep when she could tell we were tired from travelling. The water town itself was beautiful and really worth the trip! Snow took us around Kezhi Park and explained lots to us about the history and culture of the building and it’s people. We then took a gondola trip up the river to the bridge which was fabulous and really was like being in an Asian version of Venice! We walked around the market stalls of the town and Snow explained lots to us about what the vendors were selling - there were also lots of tasters for you to sample before you buy. We had a lovely traditional lunch and tried some fried soup dumplings but n the town before wandering around some more and heading to the Taoist temple. We then drove back to the city for the acrobatic show - Era2. The show was fantastic - highly recommend seeing this if you have time. Overall, an excellent tour! Thanks to our guide, Snow, for such a friendly and knowledgeable tour!

    Great time

    Had a great time. The Zhujiajiao water town was very interesting and had a lot of nice shops. The show was very good with a mixture of acrobatics, magic and a little comedy. Highly recommend this tour.

    Wonderful tour and history lessons

    Our guide Wilson was wonderful. He provided a lot of historical background, not only about Shanghai but also about Ancient Town, Buddha temple, etc. His fluency in English very much appreciated and helpful. Our driver Mr. Chu drove safely and was there when scheduled. Our van was clean, roomy, and had bottled water ready for all us. The authentic lunch overlooking the river created the right ambiance for us to further enjoy the Shanghainese culture. Thank you Wilson and Mr. Chu.

    Wonderful tour & show

    It was heavily raining on our tour day, but 朱家角 was still amazing. The boat ride in the rain created specially attractive atmosphere. The acrobat show was more than expected. We are satisfied their stunning performance. Lin, our guide was so kind and she tried heartily to make our trip comfortable . Also, the driver was punctual and drove safely in the heavy rain. Thanks to them, it became memorable day. Thank you very much!

    A day trip to zhujiajiao and shanghai acrobatic show

    our guide Wilson is a recent graduate, fluent in English, very engaging and educate us about Chinese history. Very patient with us since we have two young children (age 7 and 4) throughout the entire day. Driver Chen was excellent as he carefully navigate the rush hour traffic. Got pick up in a private van, clean and roomy. At Zhujiajiao, we started with a tour of the garden, we enjoyed it despite the heavy downpour. We then went to a temple before going to a local restaurant with a river view. Wilson introduced us to the braise pork belly, a local dish and it was delicious. We walk around the a little before heading back to the hotel. We had about 2 hour break in the hotel before going to see the acrobatic show, a must see in my opinion. My kids loves it and wants to see it again. Wilson was exceptional, cannot ask for a better tour guide and Mr. Chen was so polite and patient. It was a long day for them, so I really appreciate their time and showed our gratitude at the end by tipping each of them. Thank you again.

    Zhujiajiao Private Day Tour and Shanghai Acrobatic Show: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Shanghai.

    How much does Zhujiajiao Private Day Tour and Shanghai Acrobatic Show cost?

    +

    Prices start at $190 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Shanghai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Zhujiajiao Private Day Tour and Shanghai Acrobatic Show take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Shanghai is not rushed.

    Is Zhujiajiao Private Day Tour and Shanghai Acrobatic Show worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Shanghai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Zhujiajiao Private Day Tour and Shanghai Acrobatic Show?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Zhujiajiao Private Day Tour and Shanghai Acrobatic Show suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Zhujiajiao Private Day Tour and Shanghai Acrobatic Show?

    +

    Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Shanghai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Shanghai and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Zhujiajiao Private Day Tour and Shanghai Acrobatic Show start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Shanghai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Shanghai?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Shanghai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Shanghai Full Day City Tour with Old and New Highlights, Full-Day Private Guided Tour of Shanghai, Shanghai City Guided Walking Tour | China's 1st and Best Rated. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Shanghai?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Shanghai?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
