5.00Alex Feng is an excellent tour guide. He arrived early and made a good impression of being friendly and enthusiastic. He gave a very interesting tour of the Dadaocheng market area with some history of Taiwan and of the merchant culture plus sampling of the herbal and culinary delights. We were fortunate to witness a street performer who magically changed multiple face masks. At the end of the tour he offered his cell phone number in case we needed any assistance during the remainder of our stay.

5.00Worth the experience visiting this historic quarter of the city. It's not just about the touristy side of a place but also its past as well. My guide May Ei was particularly knowledgeable about the topic.
