We had an amazing experience on the Yehliu, Jiufen & Pingxi Day Tour, thanks to our incredible tour guide, Kia. From the start, Kia was warm, professional, and exceptionally knowledgeable. She shared fascinating stories about each location, made sure we were comfortable throughout the day, and even helped us take great photos at key spots. Her pacing was perfect—never rushed, yet we covered everything without feeling tired.
Great 1 day private tour!

This was a great tour to see a bit of Taiwan outside of Taipei. We saw several interesting sights and got to participate in the sky lantern tradition which was a lot of fun and unique. James was a very knowledgeable guide with loads of info to share but I just wish his English was a touch better or if he used a microphone so I could have caught it all.
