5.00Julie 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! :)
Exciting way to experience Taipei’s food scene!

5.00This 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!!!

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.
