5.00I greatly enjoyed this tour from Taipei to Shifen waterfall, Pingxi district, and Jiufen! The communication leading up to the tour was very clear and provided easy directions to find the meet up point. The tour group was not too big and Lendl was an excellent tour guide!! Great value!! We spent an hour at Shifen waterfall and the area had several shops and local food options to enjoy there. Then the hour in Pingxi district was the highlight of the tour as we had the opportunity to write on lanterns and release them into the sky alongside the famous railroad tracks. Lastly, we spent two hours exploring beautiful Jiufen! I enjoyed the laid back atmosphere of this tour as I got to spend time in each place at my own leisure.
