5.00A pleasant and satisfying tour that offered a lot of Taiwanese food variants + some interesting history lesson behind each plate. A great price for the experience. It's a quick tour that covers a lot of food+places. Good atmosphere with a great friendly tour-guide, shout-out to Dave! The crowd size was more like a one-on-one situation because that day only I booked the tour, so it's like going out with a friend. Best for those who want to try a lot of stuff in a short timespan!
Excellent!

5.00Dave was truly one of the best tour guides I’ve had anywhere. He’s warm, friendly, incredibly accommodating, and genuinely curious about his guests, which made the whole experience feel personal and relaxed. You can tell he really cares about making sure everyone is enjoying themselves and trying new things. The variety of food was excellent — lots of tasty local treats and a great balance of flavors and experiences. The pacing felt perfect, and the whole tour was fun from start to finish. I had seen all the other 5-star reviews about Dave before booking, and I can honestly say they were completely accurate. Highly recommend this tour if you want a memorable, authentic, and enjoyable food experience.
Amazing experience!
