Visit the Night Markets the Best Way

5.00My friend and I wanted to go to and eat at a Night Market in Taipei, but if we had not had the perfect guide, Kate, we would not have felt a part of the fun and energy of the market. Kate took us to 3 intersecting Night Markets in the Longshan Temple area. She took us through the very old and beautiful temple and explained the religion and practices we saw around us. Then we walked more of the neighborhood to the bustling markets listening to her stories. The markets were full of families and friends and Kate explained more about her neighborhood while taking us to the most phenomenal food stalls that we would have missed on our own…pumpkin rice noodle buns, fried sweet potato balls, fried rice noodles with garlic, scallion cakes to name a few. Without Kate, we would have been overwhelmed by all the food stalls and action and would probably not bought anything. She gave us an inside look and a unique Taiwanese experience in this very special neighborhood which is something we will never forget!

5.00My experience with Garen Chan was superb. We visited eateries for food & desserts that are authentic to Taiwan. In addition Garen was very articulate about Taiwan 🇹🇼 history.
So much more than a Food Tour!

5.00Wow, what an experience! Garen was communicative from the very start, making it easy to locate the start point and checking on dietary needs etc well in advance. She knew all the most authentic spots and made it feel really special and unique. The best part, besides the amazing food, was how everything we ate tied into the history of either the food or the island- often both! If you love food this is for you. If you love history this is for you. If you love seeing a city through a local’s eyes, this is for you. I can’t recommend Garen and this tour highly enough!

5.00Judy was lovely and we had a lovely few hours with her. She introduced us to lots of things but also adapted things based on our likes and what we had already tried. She answered all our questions and gave us lots of information. By the end we were totally stuffed!
A Perfect Blend of Food, Culture, and Fun with Garen in Taipei!

Not only did we taste a variety of delicious local dishes, but we also learned so much about the rich history and culture of Taiwan along the way. Garen is incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable, making every stop engaging and fun. Everything was perfectly organized and full of flavour—truly a highlight of our trip.

5.00Galen was such a great guide and went over not only the amazing food Taipei has to offer, but the history as well. She gave me many tips for navigating the food scene on my own as well and I tried so many places I would not have found otherwise! I highly recommend this tour! You won’t regret it:)
The Absolute Best Food Tour Guide EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5.00Our food tour was a tour by an extremely well versed and knowledgeable food guide and tour guide. It was amazing. First, the guide, her name is Garen was superb in every way. She taught us so so much about Taiwan and its heritage and explained so much of why the foods are the way they are. It was like having a private tour of a local area and a private food tour of the area all rolled up into one magnificent evening. Fours hours of just the best food ever. I had unbelievable fresh food including dumplings, pancakes, oyster rolls (which are just fabulous), different soups, different deserts, different drinks. It seemed and still seems like way more than 10 tastings. So much local flavor and evry place we went, the owners knew Garen very very well. She paid for evrything and had so much prepared in terms of anything you could ever ask for. Just a fabulous night, not to be ever missed if you visit Taipei. Thank you so so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!
