5.00This was an excellent tour which showed you the main sights of Taipei. The driver and tour guide were both very good and we had ample time at all the stops. Just be aware that due to the heat it can be tiring.
A good basic introduction to Taipei

3.00I think this trip is great for a basic introduction to different landmarks in Taiwan. You can do this at the beginning of your trip and make note of the places you’d like to go back to. My guide, Grace, was very sweet and tried to consider the group’s interests. I personally would have liked to hear some more historical information and spend more time at historical landmarks like Longshan Temple - we only spent about 20 minutes there. Overall it’s a basic tour, so be aware that it’s not very in depth.
It was a wonderful tour...

5.00It was a wonderful tour that delved deeply into Korean history. However, there is a lot of walking and in the summer months it can be brutal for the unprepared. Lots of water and a good attitude helps. Mia was wonderful!
