5.00We had a great food tour! Skylar was awesome :) She brought us to 8 food spots that were delicious and fairly popular in Taiwan. Glad we did this tour.

5.00The food stops were all hits and no misses😁 The pace is manageable and there is a variety of food you’ll be trying to make up for all the walking. Julie was a fantastic guide! Highly recommend doing this on your first days so you know where/what to eat during the rest of your stay.
Excellent Tour with Excellent Guide

Street Food Focused
Mel Iss A Lucky-One,Mar 29, 2026

3.00I love food tours, but this one fell a little short for me. It’s helpful to know that the experience focuses heavily on street food—especially fried options—so if that’s your thing, you’ll likely enjoy it. Our host was pleasant, though at times it felt a little harder to connect, which may have just come down to different styles. Taiwan has such an incredible and diverse food scene, and while this tour gives you a taste of street food culture, I’m not sure it fully captures the variety the local cuisine has to offer. If you’re not a big fan of fried foods, this might be one to skip.

5.00Great introduction to Taipei’s street food scene around Yongkang St in Da’an. Julie was an excellent guide, knowledgeable, easygoing, and kept the group moving at a good pace. Small group of eight made it easy to walk, chat, and actually enjoy the food without feeling rushed or crowded. Well worth doing early in your trip to get your bearings and confidence with local food.
Worth it!

5.00Skyler was an awesome host! Very friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend to others! I noticed someone else make this comment about the meetup location in another review and want to add to that. If you rely solely on the Google Maps link they attach in the “meeting and pickup” section, it will take you across the street to a bar that is closed down. Probably should be updated by the tour guides.
