  Really enjoyed my tour today with Garen. I appreciated her taking some nice photos of me as a solo traveler. I’m only in Taipei for two days and wanted to learn a few things while seeing the sights. I enjoyed her passion and her historical analysis all the way to the modern relations.

  Highly informative. Garen provided a brief but very thorough lesson on the history of Taiwan, its unique culture and the tenacity exhibited by its people who take pride in the wonderful country they have today. Enjoy a special treat of weaving through the narrow streets of old Taipei and watch in wonder how the locals go about their daily lives. Thank you Garen for a most interesting and satisfying experience.

  Our tour guide was Garen, and she was amazing! Very friendly and knowledgeable, she also helped us take many photos to remember the experience. As neither of us is a proficient Chinese reader, she was particularly helpful at the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall, and even gave us some information not on the museum placards. After, it was very cool to learn about local traditions and customs at Longshan Temple, which was beautiful and well worth the small trek over. Finally, we ended the tour with a meal at a local braised pork rice place that was absolutely delicious. If you're interested in history and culture, definitely take this tour! Also, after we'd parted ways, Garen shared a bunch more tips on where to try great food, so we couldn't have asked for better.

  The tour certainly was interesting. It was custom so we spent most of the time more or less wandering around the city and checking out local spots rather than major tourist spots. The guide was nice. They talked a lot and were very passionate about their town.

  First of all, Garen was amazing. She was so friendly and knowledgeable and thorough with the information. We didn't cover a large area, as the sites were all close to one another, but I'm so glad that these were the places I ended up going with a guide because of the informative history lesson and details provided. There is a museum on the ground level of the CKS Memorial (which I probably wouldn't have found on my own), and it was all written in traditional Chinese, so having Garen there to explain everything was great. Then we went to Lungshan Temple where again I learned so much from her. Not to mention the quick stop for ginger tea and a bite to eat. It was a lot of walking and a lot of information and I 100% recommend Garen for all sightseeing in the city!
