5.00Steven was an excellent tour guide. He made the tour interesting and gave us sufficient time to explore. We explored Dihua Street, Lungshan Temple, Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall, changing of the Guard at National Revolutionary Martyrs Shrine and National Palace Museum. It was a jam-packed day and Steven made it doable for us as we had some mobility issues. We feel he made it special and we would recommend him as a tour guide.
The best guide for the best of Taipei!

5.00Our guide, Vincent, was excellent. He made this tour both educational and fun. He also showed us short videos about topics of interest to us. For example: how the wooden temples were constructed. He reached out the day before our tour and gave us suggestions about things to see near our hotel. The final touch… he is a master of setting up professional looking photos.
Best Taipei day ever – Vincent is a legend!

5.00We booked the Full-Day Private Custom Taipei City Tour and it completely blew us away. With just one full day in Taipei (arriving by cruise ship), we wanted a personalized experience instead of a crowded group tour, and this was spot-on perfect. Our guide, Vincent, was absolutely incredible—shoutout to him! He listened closely to our interests (history, amazing food, photogenic spots, and a touch of nature), then crafted a fantastic 8-hour itinerary tailored just for us. He was super knowledgeable, spoke fluent English, incredibly friendly and patient, and even showed us helpful videos to explain the history and culture along the way. The guy is a total pro! We kicked off at the serene and spiritual Longshan Temple, then headed to the grand Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall (timed it perfectly for the changing of the guard—such a cool ceremony!). We also swung by the iconic Grand Hotel for some great photos, made a stop at Port Keelung area vibes and temple on the way back (super convenient since we were cruise passengers), wandered the charming historic streets of Dihua Street (loaded up on delicious local snacks and teas), and wrapped up with breathtaking views from Taipei 101. The private car with door-to-door cruise ship pickup/drop-off made everything effortless—no waiting, no crowds, no stress. Everything flowed so smoothly: relaxed pace but we packed in way more than we thought possible. Vincent even took awesome photos of us and shared local tips we'd never have found otherwise. If you're visiting Taipei (especially on a short stop or cruise), this private custom tour is an absolute must. Highly recommend—don't hesitate to book it! Huge thanks to Vincent—you rock!
Amazing Day

5.00We had an amazing day touring Taipei and Keelung. Bubble was our guide for the day and he was absolutely amazing. From the communication before hand to meeting us as soon as we exited cruise terminal. He was super flexible with our group and gave us so much information during the day! One of the best guides we have ever had in our travels! He was great with giving us a spot and he picked us up right on time every time. I can’t recommend Bubble enough if you take this tour.
A day in Taipei

5.00Vincent was knowledgeable, polite and friendly. He had planned out the itinerary but when we met we made a few adjustments based on our interests. We were able to efficiently visit the most important landmarks and get a better understanding of the city. Vincent also showed us how to use the MRT and made restaurant and shopping suggestions. I recommend this tour especially if one is in Taipei for a short time.
Chia Jung was a great guide!

5.00This was an exceptional tour. Our guide, Junior Wu, did a superb job of handling the logistics to get us ample time at all of the locations we wanted to visit, as well as a couple worthwhile stops that weren't on the list, despite the weekend crowds. He also guided us to a restaurant that had been open since 1912 for a fine lunch.

Exploring Wonderful Taipei with Hicks and Yolo Taiwan Tours

5.00Taipei first of all is a wonderful city. Its clean, hardly any pollution, great public transportation and very kind people. Taiwan is so underrated and one of the best countries I have ever been to. A private tour of city is one of the best ways to explore the day after you land in. Yolo Taiwan and especially Hicks Wang got it all right. I did the tour on 5th March 2026. Hicks whatsapped me a day before that he will be waiting outside my hotel. It turned out that there are two hotels with same name and Hicks was waiting in other hotel. Once he realized, he came over. Hicks was kind enough to extend the tour in the end. He is very kind, enthusiastic, English speaking and knowledgeable about Taiwan. The tour and Hicks were very flexible. The Chinese temples of Taiwan, the change of guards, the Chinese market streets and Taipei 101 are all really wonderful. He eventually dropped us at the digital plaza on our request. Private tours always offer the opportunity to explore the culture more by asking lots of questions to the local tour guide and Hicks was very responsive to so many of my questions.
