5.00There is a lot packed into this tour, but it is great because you do see so much so quickly and really get an idea of downtown Taipei. Our guide Jenny was very knowledgeable and really tried to give us as much information as she could as we went, we also had someone who had limited walking ability and she was good with trying to get us in and out of places that were convenient Working with that. I would definitely recommend this tour to get a really quick glimpse of everything! We also had a driver along with the guy who is able to pull in and out of busy places. I like using Viator because we always feel safe using them in a foreign country knowing they are responsible and always keep us safe on tours.
The best experience ever!...

5.00Great way to see the city sights. Our guide Kevin was excellent-lots of information given while travelling accompanied by pictures to help understanding, delivered enthusiastically. The only slight negative is there is very little time to see the Taipei 101 Tower(extra fee). We were lucky as the queue was small & we literally went up, photo & down.
Great Highlights Tour

5.00Kira was amazing! Super patient and knowledgeable. She helped rearrange the day so we would not miss the changing of the guards. This change did not affect the tour at all, it really added to it and she made it so seamless.
Highly recommend this classic tour of Taipei

5.00Chia 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.

5.00Our 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.

3.00The 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
