What To Expect
YehLiu Geopark
Yehliu is a cape on Taiwan’s northern coast best known for Yehliu Geopark, where sea erosion has shaped honeycomb and mushroom rocks such as the iconic Queen’s Head and Dragon’s Head. The area is mostly flat but offers little shade, so sun protection is advised during summer.
Chiufen (Jiufen Old Street)
Feel transported to this former gold-mining mountain town—once built by the Japanese and now a maze of history-rich lanes and alleys. Most of the charming streets are stairways lined with snack stalls and teahouses, and they can get quite crowded. (Tip: If you’d like to experience Jiufen at sunset or dusk, book a departure after 11:00 AM. This will make Jiufen the final stop, giving you time to enjoy the sunset views and evening lights.)

5.00This was a fantastic way to see a number of attractions in northern Taiwan. Steven was professional, courteous, and a safe driver. We appreciated that he adjusted the itinerary based on our preferences for the day and he ensured we had adequate rest time in between stops. I appreciated his recommendations for vendors to visit as well. Would recommend Steven and this tour!

5.00Roger made this experience the highlight of my son’s and my trip to Taipei. He made sure we saw everything, at a pace that suited my 17-year old son, and made everything very special. He even made sure we had time for a tea ceremony!! If you are looking for a memorable, once-in-a-lifetime experience, book this trip and ask for Roger!!

5.00Chiao-Chiao was such a phenomenal guide to have on this experience! She was extremely knowledgeable about all of the sites we visited along with Taiwan itself. Some personal highlights for me included the lanterns at Jiufen Old Street and the geopark! Chiao-Chiao was also a great conversationalist and chatted with us throughout the experience! Would highly recommend!
Best way to do the North

5.00Very good day out with Cody. He accommodated us perfectly, and let us adjust the tour to our liking, which meant we could hit spots that others wouldn't. Cody was knowledgeable and fun to be around with good spirits. The car was well conditioned and water was provided which was needed on the hot day, and having a private guide made the locations feel more luxurious and hassle free. Seeing northern Taiwan was a lovely experience which feels very magical, I will be recommending to my family and friends.
Demand a refund if pressured to do a different tour

3.00It rained and our driver implied that we could not go to the sites advertised due to the rain and the fog. He repeatedly stressed that a city tour was what we would do instead. I asked if we could see at least one of the waterfalls or natural beauty sites. He said that would take 8 hours so we wouldn't be able to do it and the city tour. We capitulated but said we don't want to go shopping or eating. He took us to the National museum where we had to pay for entrance fees and audio guide tours. We couldn't do a guided tour as driving through the city wasted an hour due to traffic and was so boring we fell asleep. After the museum, he suggested the gift shop. I said we didn't want to shop and he replied that we don't need to shop, we can just look. His other options included a local market...sigh. We didn't want to shop so we asked to go back to the cruise ship instead. The tour company's policy should be to offer a refund instead of doing a different tour in this type of situation. Other people on our cruise posted pictures on Facebook from all of the waterfalls and outdoor sites so their tour operator clearly had no issue going in the rain.
Efficient and excellent day trip tour!

5.00Our tour guide Cody was the best! He spoke excellent English and was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic, as well as making perfect recommendations for activities and places to eat. He was accommodating and knew exactly where to go to hit every spot efficiently and tailored the tour to what we would like. This was the best way to take a day trip from Taipei and we would highly recommend this tour and Cody!

5.00This private tour was really worth it! Our tour guide Chouly accompanied us at each place, took beautiful photos for us and even gave us recommendations for where we should visit and eat. We got to go to Yangminshan, Jiufen, and Shifen.
