We had an excellent time with our guide Fred. Fred provided us with a brief history and background on the neighbourhood. He was sure to point out the unique features of the neighbourhood and was happy to answer any and all questions we had. He was not only knowledgeable on the food & Bib Gourmand stalls at the market but also Taiwanese specific things such as TCM clinics and the traditional use of reflexology. In all we thoroughly enjoyed our time with Fred and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in exploring the area.
