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!

5.00Our guide Jason was one of the best I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I have taken many trips to different countries and participated in many tours. Jason was hands down one of the kindest and most friendly guides I have had. His love for the region and his joy in sharing the history and culture is amazing. I found myself wishing we had more tours to book with him. He showed us things we would never have been able to experience without his aid. I highly recommend placing yourself in his cate for the day and taking any suggestions on whet to try. The traditional aboriginal food he suggested for lunch was the best food we had on our entire stay in Thailand. We will be returning and booking with Jason again for other adventures.
Exceptional day with Alicia

5.00We chose this tour because we wanted to discover the landscapes of eastern Taiwan from the majestic mountains to the sea. Taroko National Park is the most attractive in the region, but it was closed after the earthquake last April, despite this we wanted to see the beauty of the region and this tour did not disappoint us at all, we had a very nice experience with our Guide Alicia, she shows great kindness and efficiency, we felt comfortable with her immediately, and we learned a lot. We had a busy program, discovering very beautiful places. I highly recommend the visit but especially with an exceptional Guide like Alicia.
Best part of our trip to Taiwan

5.00We’ve been in Taiwan 10 days and this was the best part of our trip. Sam was our guide and we couldn’t have seen most of what we saw without him. This company was also super flexible on timing and itinerary. We already went to the sugar factory so Sam worked with us to show us something else we’d enjoy. Our friends we went with decided to stay in Taipei because Taroko is closed but they regretted it. There is so much majestic natural beauty to see here. Thank you Sam!!! We will come to Hualien soon!
