5.00Great day, great guide. As a solo traveler it's important to me to be able to join others on a small group tour. The group was great as was the guide. It was a Sunday so every place we visited was bustling but the driver and the guide managed well. Definitely worth the price.
Not the tour to take maybe for any reason.

1.00We were looking for a tour without too much walking and it turned out to be mostly walking with small motorcycles moving us from spot to spot, no van in site much less like the picture. All my tours for years all over the place have been great with Trip Advisor, even in Manila, just not this one.
Amazing customer service!

5.00Excellent tour all around. The instructions for where to meet the tour guides were very clear. The guides were waiting for us well in advance of the meeting times. The group was a mix of Mandarin and English speakers; the guide handled the translation well for both. He walked us through the National Palace Museum pointing out wonderful treasures and explaining how they were made. We had plenty of time at each spot to explore around. Great tour!!!

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.
