5.00The views were amazing and I had an amazing time with our tour guide: Tony! Tony was an excellent tour guide: his English was very good, he was funny, and although some spots were crowded Tony did his best to avoid the super touristy areas while showing us some really neat spots! I highly recommended this tour.

A Pleasant Day

5.00Overall a pleasant day. Activities were in line with expectations. I would have preferred more time at Yehliu since the geological formations were so cool. But I'd guess others would have preferred more time at other spots. Since this is a group tour on a bus, please set expectations around muting cell phones. One lady's phone would ding every minute and she acted like I had the problem when I asked her to turn it off.
Must do in Taipei
