Skyler is a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide! She had the privilege of conducting the tour that I booked in a torrential rainstorm. We hit some great spots that served local favorites such as grilled skewers, egg and scallion pancake, pork rice, boba tea and a tapioca sago. Even though we were all soaked, Skyler kept it fun and shared a lot of Taiwan’s history and food influences. This is a definite tour you should book! 10/10

The directions to the meeting point was accurate and Skler greeted me as I walked up. I was the ONLY person for the tour! After niceties, we walked only a short distance to where a steamed bun was our first stop. I've never had such good steamed buns!! We then talked as we walked past a university to a small place where we had a soup that is hard to describe. It is a flavored broth type of soup with what looks to be clear ice! Wish I remembered the name of the soup...interesting! We then went to a place for bubble tea that I really liked. I don't know all what it is made from and I really liked it. Further along, we went to the head of the line for what I would call an egg sandwich with basil. It was all put together inside a flour shell. I really liked it!! So fresh and hot! By then I was FULL...normally I would have eaten more and we had one more stop which I declined. End of tour....lol. We talked some more and laughed and she then took me to a metro stop and made sure I was on the right train. Don't be afraid to do things like this! I've done food tours all over and have immensely enjoyed them. I've seen people who were afraid and missed out on fantastic local foods! Go for it!

Julie was wonderful! I traveled to Taipei Taiwan on a solo trip and it turned out I was the only one that booked the food tour for that time. Julie was waiting for me and made me feel very comfortable! She was also kind and relatable! On the food tour she was knowledgeable and explained history behind the different kinds of food! Thank you Julie for taking time out of your day to do this tour! I HIGHLY recommend her if you are debating on a food tour! :)

This food tour was a really fun and exciting way to experience Taipei’s food scene. Our tour guide (Skyler✨) did a great job of guiding us through the city to popular food spots while being considerate of our dietary needs as well as explaining the historical significance of each dish. So if you don’t eat pork or meat in general, know that there are vegetarian options for you available. I cannot confirm if they’re vegan though. She also asks if you’d like to share certain dishes with one of the other people on the tour if you came alone or with whoever you came with as there are many dishes to try but you’re also welcome to get your own if you’d prefer. All the spots are within walking distance which is perfect for walking off some of the food we were eating. The meeting and final locations are both near subway entrances which made it easy to get back to our hotel. A tour worth booking!!!

Our informative guide, Julie, has in-depth knowledge of the food, local culture, and history of Taipei. She provided context and stories behind each dish and location visited. The food was delicious and diverse. Her knowledge of Taiwanese food and culture brought the experience to life. Julie was engaging, charismatic, and a lot of fun. It was a most enjoyable afternoon.
