4.00The guide and the driver were super responsible and friendly. If you are first time Taiwan traveler, it is a great way to have a taste of Taiwan. If you are looking for in-depth traveling, this might not be what you are looking for.

4.00While each place in the tour was beautiful, make sure you're there in the right season. When we went, there was no visibility due to fog and rain. Even the gardens they included in the tour were barren due to the winter season (such places should replaced with season appropriate places). It was hard to understand what the guide was saying, since he wouldn't directly talk to all the group members(remember, this is a small group tour, so it should have been easy to address 4-5 people)
