5.00Entire day was executed perfectly. We started at the waterfall and it was alright, but from there we went to launch a lantern which was very enjoyable and then to an old hillside town overlooking the sea. The best part was the last stop at the Geo Park. Great guide and driver. Transport was perfect and the entire day enjoyable. Would highly recommend.
Excellent guide!

5.00I think everyone goes to the same places on this tour. It is pretty standard. What set this tour apart was our guide - Chiara. She was marvelous. She was very knowledgeable and caring. This is a great way to get outside of the city and see the area - so glad we took this tour.
Must do for visitors

5.00Our tour guide Chiara/Kiara explained all the places history. She even explained about Taiwan culture, history and gave some helpful info like easy card how to use and some dos and don’s, suggested some good restaurants also.Thank you som much Ms. Kiara. She was outstanding - passionate, informative, engaging and entertaining. The trip was organized and run smoothly. Kiara is by far the best tour operator I have traveled with. She made my visit unforgettable In the morning when we went to the pick up location the tour person was holding their banner to welcome us. So it was very easy pick up and drop off. I like that was small group tour. Overall excellent service!
