5.00We took a chance and booked this day-long tour for our first day in Taipei. Good call. It offered a nice overview of the city and a chance to see some of the most interesting sites. There were seven of us in a van that shuttled us from location to location. The guide had plenty of interesting facts to share throughout. She was mindful about us being able to have access to public restrooms throughout the tour. I recommend the tour as a great introduction to Taipei.

5.00Had a great day outing with Tony on this tour. It was a small group as advertised. He was mindful of our time, making sure we visited each site optimally, which was greatly appreciated. He had detailed info at each site, provided interesting commentary, and cracked some jokes along the way. If you want a quick overview of Taipei, you can't go wrong with this tour and Tony!
