5.00Fantastic - one of the best things we did in Taipei. The tour guide was brilliant, enthusiastic, fund and incredibly knowledgable.
Lack of Reliability and No Backup Plan

- Review from Viator
1.00We arrived early after a late flight and went to the meeting point, but no guide showed up. Only after checking the Viator app did I see a late-night note saying the guide had lost his voice. When we eventually connected, we were sent a generic “top ten” list that wasn’t useful for a one-day visit, including a Japanese restaurant and a walking street far across the city. With only one day in Taipei and it now being mid-morning, there was no realistic way to pivot or recreate the experience we had booked. We ended up spending the day wandering without a plan. I understand that people get sick, but there was no meaningful attempt to provide an alternative — no replacement guide, no modified tour, no practical backup plan. The booking was refunded, but the experience itself was lost. If your time in Taipei is limited, I would think carefully before relying on this tour.
Worth it!

5.00We had a long layover and this was a great little tour of Taipei! Our guide Mike was excellent with all the history of the country! Fascinating stories and history - we thoroughly enjoyed! And the changing of the guard was interesting too!! We wish we had more time to explore the city!
Great tour of the inner city

5.00Tony provided a lot of insightful historical and present day information along the way and guided us astutely through some crowded areas. I hadn’t been on a bike in a while, but did alright with the route he led us along. Breakfast was delicious, too.

5.00This was a really really enjoyable morning, I'm glad I booked it. It was better than I expected, and I expected it to be good after seeing other reviews. The format of the tour being on bikes works perfectly. We were able to travel quickly between each point on the tour, and quickly park up when we arrived at each one. There was none of the fuss of getting on and off a bus. We covered a little over 10km over the morning and it was never hard work. We were on wide sidewalks for the most part and Taipei's pedestrians are used to being near cyclists. The bikes themselves were comfortable city bikes with easy 3-speed gears, and were well maintained by the bike shop. Helmets (optional) were provided. Our guide Mike was very knowledgable about the places we visited as well as how each one fits into Taiwan's unique history. Especially on mid 20th century history he gave an account which I felt was well informed and unbiased. It really sparked my interest and lead to some evenings spent reading and learning more.
Great Guided Cycling Experience with Mike

5.00I joined the morning cycling tour and found that I was 1 of 7 participants. Our guide Mike, American, gave us a lot of information about the history of Taiwan. He uses Giant bicycles and each one of us had a basket on the front for water bottles and bags. We had good weather and it was a pleasure to stand in the sun, enjoy the stories which Mike was telling us while learning a lot. We parked our bikes several times and walked around for breakfast, for the changing of the guard at Liberty Square and at a well known temple. It was a great way to discover one part of Taipei.
Best way to introduce yourself to Taipei

5.00Perfect way to start a Taipei visit. A gentle ride (no Lycra required) through the key sites of the central city, under the expert guidance and knowledge of Mark. Great to get your bearings and to do a deeper dive into the history and culture of this remarkable place

5.00I had the day to myself to explore Taipei, so signed for the bicycle tour of the city. Priscilla is a native Taiwanese and very knowledgeable . Biking through the streets competing with scooters and pedestrians etc, wasn’t bad. People generally made room for us and sometimes cars waited before making a turn. It was food filled and fun!
