Chia was an awesome tour guide. Her English was excellent and very easy to understand. She did a great job of preparing us for each stop (telling us how long we’d be off the bus, bring a hat and water, etc) and planned our stops with perfect timing so we could watch the changing of the guard and dropping off those who wanted to go to the top of Taipei 101 just before sunset.

Our guide, Walter, was fantastic. He took us around Taipei. We saw all the great sites even changing of the guard at the Chaing Kai-Shek Memorial Hall and concluded at Taipei 101 skyscraper.
Be prepared to wait.

The guide was great but there is a lot of waiting around I would have preferred to see more and not spend an hour or 2 just wandering. Most of the places are easily reached by transit and you can choose your own pace to see.
Very good daybtrip

Great tour: long one for sure but it felts almost like a private tour and Sharon knew everything about the places we went to. Taipei is crowded and confusing and I took this tour on a holiday but was stable to see everything intended and more (and Sharon takes very good pictures too!). We were 5 or 6 total participants so it felt very good

Really good tour to see the major Taipei landmarks & to learn more about Taiwan’s culture, history & food. Our guide Sharon was wonderful, kind & informative. She showed us interesting things at each stop along with offering to take lots of pictures throughout the tour. The day was paced well & run efficiently. If visiting Taipei for the first time this is a great tour!
