5.00This was a thorough, informative, productive, well planned and considerate tour guide. Kia was patient with us, being that the Uber driver dropped us off at the wrong spot. She picked us up and we all went on the tour. Lunch time, bathroom breaks, etc was well planned. Bravo and good job.
Great Taipei trip. Will recommend!

5.00We had a fantastic experience touring Taipei with Mr. Gordon! He did an outstanding job showing us the city’s highlights and sharing the history and culture behind each stop. His knowledge was impressive, and he explained everything in clear, excellent English, which made the tour easy to follow and very engaging. Mr. Gordon was friendly, professional, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included throughout the day. You can tell he truly enjoys what he does, and that enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable for us. We learned so much while also having a great time.
