5.00Our tour of Taiwan with May Ei was a truly pleasant and unique experience. From the very beginning, she made us feel welcomed, and her friendly, approachable nature made it easy to engage with her throughout the trip. My favorite part of the tour was iur experience at the Shifen Old Street. Loved the food too! Highly recommended!
