On this experience you'll explore Taipei's most authentic night market Yansan with a knowledgeable Local Host, getting away from the crowds for a taste of the real Taipei! There’ll be hardly a tourist in sight at this no-frills spot, instead you’ll find the most authentic food in the city and crowds of locals picking up dinner on the way home or enjoying some street food on a veranda after work. There’s no showy cooking techniques or blazing flame cooked noodles, but there are delicacies here that you won’t find anywhere else in the city. With a Local Host by your side, eat your way around Taipei’s best kept secret and discover the dishes that the locals really eat.

4.00It was so nice to meet Charlotte and have her help to explore the Raohe night market. We visited on a particularly busy and hot holiday night so having her local expertise was so valuable. Thank you Charlotte!

5.00Such a good experience! Charlotte was my tour guide! She is local to Taipei and speaks English perfectly. She was a great conversationalist and was super knowledgeable about food in the night market. She convinced me to try stinky tofu and candied tomatoes and plums on a stick. Charlotte was the perfect tour guide for such a unique and memorable experience!
Great food great time!

5.00Charlotte was wonderful at allowing us to set the pace and pick the places to stop within Shilin market. She was great at showing us the ropes and even taught us how to use the Taiwan metro system. Met us early at the start and was mindful of our preferences. Very friendly and outgoing too.
Unique Foods!

4.00Green was our tour guide, and he was great. He met us at our hotel, and we took the train to the night market, no complaints whatsoever! But.... in hindsight, this was a tour that I should have just done on my own. Not to complex to navigate the particular market we went to.

5.00If you want to eat like a local this tour is a great opportunity. My guide Alice did an excellent job walking me through the Night Markets and showing me the foods that Taiwanese people love. Although there are some outlandish options that might test a westerner, there are also plenty of tamer options as well. We even got lucky and scored some fresh Chinese Bayberries which have a very short season.
