1.00Our guide spoke very little English. We finally gave up and asked to be taken back to ship . I tried emailing company with no response. Tomorrow we are scheduled to have another tour from Keelung. Will anyone show up? Will they speak English? Very disappointed.
Excellent tour and tour guide

4.00We created our own agenda. (My son lived in Taiwan a short time ago and made a list for me.) Overall, we accomplished everything we set out to do. Chin communicated well before the trip and as we arrived by cruise ship where he met us. He made it easy to find him!
Great experience
