4.00This was a walking tour that ended in a nice spot for a photo of the sunset over the city. While it wasn't my favorite walking tour of all time...it was worth doing. The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful.
Very fun day exploring...

5.00We had a lovely tour with Leo! We did the Vintage tour in the afternoon and it was very enjoyable. We have younger children and were a bit unsure if they would enjoy it but they did - they interacted with Leo, asked lots of questions and walked away having had a great time! Sadly no photos as we were too busy in the moment but the tour was in a charming part of the city which we might not have visited otherwise.
Fun walk through of a historic part of Taipei

5.00Very interesting tour. Leo did an amazing job leading us through a historic section of Taipei and introducing us to some traditional Taiwanese foods. This is a great add on tour to the Introduction tour. A big plus if you get Leo for both!
Best walking tour ever!

5.00Leo was the best tour guy ever! He was funny, informative, and very sweet. He has a lot of knowledge about the history of Taiwan and there was something I was looking for to learn about. It’s so cute. He definitely had some perks for us like tasting delicious tea, pineapple cake and just giving us overall guidance through the different markets and what to buy. I will definitely recommend Leo as your free walking tour guy.

5.00I’ve been living in Taipei for a while and saw this tour listed on Meetup. It was great to learn more about the history and development of areas so close to my home! Although I had visited DiHua Old Street area before, this tour taught me so much, and really helped me build a sense of place. I also found the answers to some things I had wondered about when visiting temples in the past. Thank you Chester for being such an enthusiastic yet chill tour guide!
