My family (of 6) booked a Private Day Tour to Sun Moon Lake from Taipei and were fortunate to have met our guide Vincent Hsu. He made our trip more memorable and enjoyable because of his familiarity with the places - the great spots for photos, convenient shops to get snacks from, and anecdotes about Taiwan and Taipei. His vehicle was top notch and offered everything from chilled beverages, on-board entertainment, and added safety (it was bullet proof)! Vincent can also switch hats and be your personal and professional photographer and will know the best spots *(and angles)! :) Book the tour, try to request for Vincent Hsu - he will make you feel like a VIP from start to finish!
Sun moon lake private tour with Paul yang

Our tour guide was Paul yang. He confirmed with us the tour details 24 hours in advance. I loved the fact that he was very punctual. It was supposed to be really bad weather, raining, for that day. However, he was very optimistic. We felt bad because it was a long driving commute of at least 3&1/2 hour each way not including traffic. Even though he was the only driver, he provided reassurance that we were in good hands. He stopped at rest areas ample of time so we could take bathroom breaks and stretch our legs. We were so impressed Because the rest areas were super clean and so many choices of food/snacks. He walked us steps by steps through the whole itinerary. We had long conversations during the long car ride. We got to know him on a personal Level rather than just our tour guide. We wish we choose to stay overnight instead of a one day trip at sun moon lake. There are so many amazing activities to explore. We did not feel rush by Paul to get through to all the activities. On the way back to the hotel, we found his other talent for singing. We shared the bonds of 90s music. Overall, we would recommend Paul to our friends and family. He made our trip to Taiwan very pleasant and memorable. Thank you for your hospitality!

Sun Moon Lake was beautiful. I had a great time in the area. It was a long way to travel by car from Taipei, but it was lovely.
Chung Tai Chan Monastery - A Hidden Gem

The Sun Moon Lake itself is not very unique or inspiring. Luckily, our driver-guide took us to Chung Tai Chan Monastery. This modern Buddhist Monastery is absolutely amazing. The size, architecture and the scale of this magnificent construction is matched only by the warmth of the monks and their staff. A must see place !!
Excellent Tour and Guide
