5.00What a wonderful day! Our tour guide Chiara was amazing as she led us through the Shifen Old Street to launch sky lanterns and our driver Mr. Wu expertly guided our comfortable coach through the urban streets and mountain roads to see the Shifen waterfall. Our next stop was Jiufen and its narrow lantern-lined alleys, traditional teahouses, and stunning views. Last stop was the Yehliu Geopark with is interesting rock formations and the iconic “Queen’s Head”. I would highly recommend this tour for everyone who can handle a few flights of stairs.

5.00We had a great time on this tour and Tony was a wonderful and caring guide. This was a very easy and comfortable way to get in some sight seeing outside of Taipei. The bus was comfortable and the meeting point was easy to get to on the MRT. Overall a great experience with an obviously experienced tour company and guide.

4.00Efficient way to see a few sites outside of Taipei if on a short visit to Taiwan. it rained pretty much the whole time on our outing and since several of the visits were to outdoor sites it tended to negatively impact the experience.
Excellent
