5.00Wonderful experience with Allen! He was very timely and kept us on schedule. He was super friendly and provided insights and recommendations throughout the tour. The car was very clean and had AC. It was super nice having a private tour and going at our own pace! Bring cash for souvenir shops and food stands. The lantern involves writing wishes using a paint brush and black ink, so wear clothes and shoes that you don’t mind ink accidentally getting on. There’s a decent amount of steps so dress lightly. Thank you to Allen for such a wonderful tour!
Fun and Informative tour

5.00We had Nicolas as our tour guide and he was brilliant from start to finish. Nicolas got in touch before the tour to arrange our pick up and he checked whether or not we wanted to arrange a meal on the tour or not. We chose to eat and we were so glad that we did. Nicolas took us to a beautiful restaurant in Jiufen with amazing views and food to match. The tour was great for us we were only in Taipei for a short time and this excursion ticked a lot of boxes for things we wanted to see and do outside of the city. Jiufen and Shifen were both big highlights on the day. Thanks for an amazing day Nicolas.

5.00Tony was a thoughtful and expert guide. On a very hot, sunny, and national holiday day, being able to take breaks in an air conditioned and clean space enabled us to take our time exploring and enjoying the area. Also, Tony organized the day in a way that considered the crowds and the heat. His deep knowledge of the area and history helped us appreciate the cultural context. Thank you so much Tony!
