I booked this tour as a solo female traveler and felt completely safe! The meet up spot is at a bike shop and Mike also gives us safety tips about the ride, in addition to warning us about when we are going to temporarily ride through traffic (which were only a few short instances). Most of the ride was backstreets, and yes, the path is narrow, but if he encourages people to step off the bike if needed and is mindful to ensure people don't get left behind. My favorite part about the ride was when we rode down the river. The view of the Taipei skyline was amazing! I had a little under 24 hour layover, and I am happy I booked this as my one thing to do in Taipei, because our tour guide, Mike, provided a very good in depth overview of the country's history in only 4 hours as well as a nice introduction to some cultural elements (such as the "traditional Taiwanese breakfast"). Mike is American, but don't let that scare you because he is a well-informed individual who has lived in the country for 15+ years with his wife and child. He also speaks Taiwanese and is very knowledgeable about the history of Taiwan and global politics which I commend him for! So this is a plus because that means his English is superb (if you're worried about that), but also that he clearly has strong ties to the community (which I saw in his communication with the breakfast spot workers)! I appreciated his extensive knowledge about the history of Taiwan including references to global events that affected how modern Taiwan developed into the nation it is today. I came in, half-heartedly thinking Taipei would be just "okay" (pun intended), but by the end of the ride, I didn't want to leave! Mike helped to spark my curiosity in revisiting the country, something I don't think I would have had if I tried to "wing" the visits myself on my own bike or on foot. All in all I 100% recommend this ride, whether you only have a short time in the country like myself or want an introduction to a longer trip, you can't go wrong with this bike ride. This was truly a unique experience!

Great way to start our vacation seeing the highlights of Taipei! Our guide was Michael, who was super friendly and knowledgeable about all things related to the history of Taiwan and an expert knowing Taipei inside and out. Thank you Micheal for spending the morning with us and helping us explore this beautiful city!

It was really fun. I wish I had done it the first day I was in the city. Tony and Mike were really lovely, I don’t usually cycle much but I was very comfortable. A great way to see the city and get an understanding of the history.
