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.

1 hour • Admission Not Included

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.)

1 hour 30 minutes • Admission Not Applicable

The Best Tour Guide We’ve Ever Had - Vincent H.

We just got back from an unforgettable trip to Taiwan, and we can’t stop talking about our experience with Vincent H. from Yolo Taiwan. From the very beginning, he made us feel like we weren’t just tourists, he made us feel like family. Vincent is one of those rare people who’s clearly doing what he was born to do. He’s not just a guide, he’s a storyteller, a mood-setter, and someone who genuinely cares. He took the time to get to know each of us, asking thoughtful questions and tailoring the experience to what we loved. It was never one-sided; it felt like a real connection. He made my wife’s parents feel completely at ease, which meant the world to us. They were so comfortable and cared for the entire time. And to top it all off, Vincent surprised us with a birthday cake! And not just for me, but for my father-in-law too. That kind of thoughtfulness is something you don’t forget. One moment that really stuck with us was when he played Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect” during an our last scenic drive of the day. It was his favorite song, and somehow it became ours too in that moment. He has this artistic way of using music to match the mood, and it made everything feel cinematic. Vincent is the best tour guide we’ve ever had, hands down. He’s passionate, kind, and incredibly gifted at what he does. He’s also one hell of a photographer so you’re in great hands from all angles! Haha we feel so lucky to have met him and we know this won’t be the last time we see him. He’s now a part of our story, and we’re forever grateful.

Great itinerary. Tour guide James was excellent and very knowledgeable. We were able to customize the tour to what we liked. If you want to have tea at Jiufen tea house will need to allot for time especially around sunset. It’s beautiful at this time and great for pictures. If it’s a must to have tea I recommend extending your tour time or shorten time at other spots. Great tour would highly recommend.

Nice day out exploring the natural beauty of Northern Taiwan. The drive in my estimation as interesting as the destinations. Mr Paul was a friendly host with an appropriate amount of connection and local insight. With anything outdoors it’s subject to micro climates but were mostly working in our favor over the day.
Fantastic day!

We spent the day with Vincent as our guide. He is fun, very personable, prompt, well organized, and knowledgeable. He taught us so much. The geo park was amazing. It was great fun exploring the towns and eating some great food along the way. The waterfall was large and powerful when we visited. We also saw perople sending up lanterns. Vincent knew all the great places for pictures. We had so much fun and learned so much. He is a wonderful guide. We definitely recommend spending the day with Vincent as your guide.
Turning a rainy day in a superb opportunity

Hicks was our guide and driver. We initially booked Beitou and yangmingshan national park but with the heavy rain we quickly realized it made no sense to go in the mountains. The night before I shared my concerns with Hicks, sharing what we already visited in Taipei. As we met the next day, he proposed various options and we agreed on an alternate plan. It appears that he made of a rainy day a superb experience, visiting beitou but adding historical house, grand hotel, Dalongdong temple and even the National Palace Museum. Even though we had tickets for the next day, his 2 hours guiding revealed to be excellent and helped us choose the areas to explore further the next day. If you get Hicks a driver/ guide consider yourself as very lucky !!

Jackson was our guide for the tour and words cannot describe what an amazing tour guide he was. Without going into too much detail, we started the tour with one member short due to an emergency and were unable to join in the morning. While we didn't do the whole northern tour due to this, Jackson was flexible in picking up our last member and give us a tour of Taipei for our remaining half of our tour time. Not only that, he offered and made calls to help our emergency while we were doing the tour. Aside from that, he was very knowledgeable, friendly, helped us take photos and took us to the best places for food. Would definitely recommend and ask him for another tour if I'm back in Taiwan in the future.
