We have already spent 10 days in Taiwan, trying many new foods. However, the foods we were able to try on this tour were totally new and different. Our guide was an absolute delight.

It was a great tour , led by Julie. There was lots of information about the origins of the different food and drink. The food was varied and helped our trip as we now knew what food to try !

We had a short stopover and this is the best way to try a bunch of foods in a short amount of time. I was worried the food would be mediocre, but every single dish was absolutely delicious. There is so much food we could not keep eating at the end. We were taken to a super hip area with cute shops & cute cafes. Some of the food places were ones I had bookmarked and some were places I would never find. The tour eliminates the stress of knowing what to order or how to order so you just get to enjoy the amazing food. I will forever think of the scallion pancake and fried chicken.

Really great food tour of Taiwan. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and funny. She was also able to help with my tree nut and peanut allergy which helped a lot! My only complaint is that we didn't get any Xiao long bao on the food tour, which I would've loved to get. Nonetheless, it was a great tour that I would recommend to everyone!

my mom and i had a great time and left with full bellies and having learned a lot about local Taipei food culture. our guide Julie was really knowledgeable and clearly very passionate about the food. she explained every food in great detail, called ahead between stops so we wouldn’t have to wait too long at some of the especially busy stops, and answered our many questions with warmth and humor.
Had a wonderful time...

Had a wonderful time trying all the food! Our tour guide Skyler was fantastic and loved to share the history of every dish we tried. Just make sure you don't eat too much earlier in the day — it's a ton of food for the tour, especially if you're going solo!
Nice bites

Great experience. Wonderful food and our tour guide Julie was friendly and informative about all the different foods we ate, and some of their history. Easy walking around the university district to try foods from vendors and stores. The pick up and drop off locations are close to train stops, so they’re easy to get to. Come hungry because we stopped at about 8 places. Would absolutely recommend to get your footing on what to eat in Taiwan for the remainder of your visit.
A great introduction to Taiwan.

All the arrangements worked well and we met Skyler our guide. She was really knowledgeable and led us around Taipei as we had arrived earlier that day. The places that we went to, what we ate, all gave us an insight into Taipei, the history and its culture. Our group was great with a nice mix of people who got on well together. Each of the stops and tastings gave me new flavours to try, some I gave a miss as I am allergic to onions and scallions and my message about this was not passed on to the operator. Nevertheless it was very enjoyable and was interesting to hear the views of a Taiwanese person on the machinations of life in Taiwan.
Amazing food

Excellent food tour with Skylar who was informative and sociable. Eight different foods to try over 2.5 hours. Thought it was good value for 45 USD. All the food was tasty and I was stuffed by the end of it.
