This tour was well worth it, if you are interested in history and culture. We had Tâilé and she was a really good guide, really enthusiastic and passionate. The weather wasn’t great and non stop rain but she made sure for many parts we were undercover whilst she told us about the history of the old town. Well recommended, thanks.

Great tour done at a very reasonable and comfortable pace, even for our kids:) The Guide (Veronica) was great managing a fairly big group in the heat, and gave us many interesting insights into Taiwan’s history. Highly recommended.
