5.00We have done many food tours around the world - Garen Chan's was by far the best! She knows a great deal about finding delicious, regional places to eat, and does a wonderful job placing each dish in its cultural and historical context.
More than 5 stars!

5.00June was the best tour guide — extremely knowledge, very friendly, and so fun. Our family had an amazing time learning about Taipei, its history, culture and, of course, its delicious food. June took us to great spots where we enjoyed the amazing food and great conversation. We highly recommend this tour and June as a tour guide. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5.00Eva was so insightful be it about Taiwan or the food. It was great to be shown places we would not have thought to try or know about. My son and I had a fabulous time! Thank you

5.00An unforgettable experience! We had an amazing foodie tour with June. June is an excellent communicator. She took an extra care to make sure we have everything we need and at each stop, she would talk about not only the food we are eating, but the history, background of the regions. It was so enlightening and entertaining! She is so knowledgeable and energetic, made this whole experience so memorable! The food that it chosen to highlight on this tour were all excellent, some of them are not something we would try on our own so I am very glad. this is an absolute must-do in Taipei! It was more than a food tour. The food was incredibly delicious and we got to explore different parts of the city while learning so much about its history and culture.
Great food selections

5.00Despite me being a vegetarian and traveling with two non-veg teens, our guide June did a fantastic job accommodating us! She skillfully led us through the food-laden streets of Taipei, infusing history and anecdotes into the delicious foods we sampled. From yummy potstickers, fried chicken, and scallion pancakes to sweet dried fruits and bubble tea, we were left satisfied with full bellies after a completely personalized experience.
Eva was my tour guide....
