5.00We had the best experience with Jimmy as our guide. He was so friendly and knowledgable about everything. He tailored the tour to what we were interested in and made sure we were always taken care of. Definitely recommend doing this tour if you want to enjoy nature without the stress of driving around. Jimmy really helped all of us find jade so that we could have a keepsake for the rest of our lives. We are all so happy we made the decision with this tour and would love to come back again!
Good times.

5.00Alex was a great tour guide. We got to see a lot of interesting places in Hualien. We also got a chance to practice our Mandarian with him throughout the entire tour. The places you will visit are stunning. Be prepared to walk and climb stairs.
Memorable experience in Hualien!

5.00I love the tailored itinerary. This is my first time coming to Taiwan and I found Amazing Taiwan Tour through someone’s blog so naturally I asked them for recommendation. They are very helpful in giving suggestions and our guide Alex is amazing! Very cheerful, friendly and knowledgeable about the area. He was able to bring us to some hidden spots for pictures! Fully recommend this company for those coming to Hualien! ❤️ As a suggestion, perhaps can consider adding a specific tour to visit and meet the aboriginal tribes (if possible).
Great day out with Sam!

5.00Alex was a great tour guide who took us to many beautiful scenic spots all along the eastern shore, and in the low mountain tropical forests. It was a very nice change of scenery from city life, and we lucked out with the perfect weather. The tour involves driving from place to place and some walking to vistas. Very relaxing trip!
