Every year, the “Yehliu Night Tour” features light shows, water projection, etc, attracting over ten thousands visitors flock to see the Queen’s Head illumined at night.

5.00It is a great way to see and experience Taiwan. We enjoyed every place, the culture and the experience. Tony, our tour guide is great, knowlegable and fun. He makes sure we are well informed and he cares about our safety. I highly recommend this tour to everyone who has a day or 2 days in Taiwan.

5.00Tony was very engaging and knowledgeable. He helped to show me vegetarian restaurant options for lunch. He had a good sense of humour and made the day fun. It was nice to get out of Taipei for a day.

5.00I rarely leave reviews but I needed to after my experience. During the tour, I fell and injured myself, but the tour guide went above and beyond. She took me all the way to my hotel room and even provided treatment (she used to be a nurse). She did offer to bring me to the hospital as they have insurance, which I denied. But the treatment she gave me was top notch and I recovered from my ankle quickly. I also got to practice my mandarin with her, she is funny and made our experience enjoyable!
Great tour with Kiera.

5.00The amount of walking is just right. Our guide Kiera was one of the most accommodating and kind tour guides we have ever experienced. The balance of nature and culture was excellent. The highlight for us was the release of the lantern.
Rough bus

3.00The was ok. Lots of driving time between tour locations. The tour bus was very uncomfortable. Small seats with no legroom and the suspension wasn’t good. At one point we transferred to a city bus and it was much more comfortable.
Well organized
