5.00Our guide was Robert and he showed us beautiful and interesting sites in Keelung. The absolute BEST was Yeliu Geopark. Don't miss this place if you visit. Robert did a nice job guiding us. We communicated before the tour date, he was right on time and I could identify him easily. His car was clean and comfortable. He had waters available for us. He gave us useful and interesting information and our day was full and fun.
Perfect shore excursion

5.00Jennifer was a wonderful guide. We met early to avoid the tourist buses and Jennifer was waiting at the port. She drove us first to the Yehliu Geopark and we were among the first visitors of the day. It is a beautiful site. Next we went to the Golden Waterfall and then to Juifen. At Juifen we had tea at a tea house and then with Jennifer’s help we tried a number of local delicacy’s for lunch. Our last stop was Houtong the cat village. We had a great day and Jennifer was a perfect guide. She looked after us and was able to answer all of our questions. We highly recommend this tour.

5.00Jennifer was wonderful! She communicated a couple days before the tour, the day before (and was very flexible when we had to adjust times), and the morning of by spending photos of herself, the car and the sign with my name of it. She was a friendly and knowledgeable guide and a safe driver. She pointed out the best food vendors in the night market and even got one to open early and cook for us because we had to get back to the ship. She went above and beyond and was a delight to spend out day with her!
Excellent personalized tour!!

5.00Jennifer was our guide! She provided her details (photo of herself and her car) and our itinerary via WhatsApp prior to our departure. She arrived early, to get a jump start on the day ahead. Jennifer was very knowledgeable about all things local and included some personal stories as well. She also acted as our personal paparazzi taking photos of our family and sharing them quickly. She even made a drawing of us from one of the photos. We had a very hot day for our tour and Jennifer was flexible with times spent at each location and moved us quickly and efficiently to avoid any unnecessary sun and heat exposure, which we appreciated! She provided water, which was much needed! Jennifer was an exceptionally safe driver! If you book this tour request Jennifer. You won’t be disappointed!

5.00Our guide was Jennifer. Her communication was great, reaching out before we arrived via WhatsApp to give us the itinerary & was flexible when we wanted to add a stop at the last minute. She arrived at the cruise terminal over an hour early, and sent the photo of both herself & her vehicle, which was a nice touch. She greeted us in the terminal with a digital sign with our name on it. She had bottled water and a special snack waiting for us in the new SUV that we toured in. Jennifer gave us the history of the places we visited enroute, and accompanied us on foot at each location to provide further insight, interpret with shop owners & act as our photographer (no selfies needed). We had a great time from start to finish.
Great tour
