A Day in Taiwan

5.00Vincent was fabulous! His English was perfect and his grasp of Taiwan was encyclopedic. He was more than willing to share his personal life story to help us understand what life in Taiwan was like. We visited the waterfall, launched a lantern, and shopped our way through Jiufen. We had a lovely lunch at a tea house overlooking the ocean. Vincent could not have been anymore accommodating or informative. We would highly recommend him to anyone interested in learning more about Taipei and spending time with a warm and gracious human being.
Fabulous experience

5.00Junior was a knowledgable and friendly tour guide. He knew a lot about the areas, its history and culture. The lantern experience was a special highlight, watching others share the joy in releasing their lanterns. The shopping village was a great place to find some unique items.
Great Guide!

5.00It’s a lot of traveling to get to the different destinations. 6 hour tour was a little rushed. The lantern activity was very memorable and our guide took us to the best dumpling place in Juifen!
Great private tour trip!

5.00Our guide Nicholas was the best! We had the best time learning about the area and he knew all the best spots to snap great pictures. Even the car ride back to the city was fun as we sang classic karaoke songs.

5.00Roger picked us up at hotel and first stop was Shifen. We released lanterns and it was fun. Next stop was Golden Waterfall. Last stop was Jiufen. We went to Xiahai City God temple first. Roger explained the history of the temple, how to worship the gods by burning ghost money in a furnace - very interesting. We visited the old street and he helped us communicate with all the vendors. The highlight was tea at A-Mei tea house. Roger got us a seat on the edge with a beautiful view. We also went to the old theater. I would recommend this tour especially with Roger.
Excellent half day tour

5.00Cody was a great guide, providing early insight into how we might best use the day to avoid the crowds. The trip itself was well planned, allowing us to see a lot in a half day tour. Cody provided a commentary that allowed us to better understand the areas visited and Taiwan generally. A really lovely way to spend the day.
Half a day trip in Taipei.
