Fantastic day with a fantastic man

5.00We had a 11am pick up time right outside our Airbnb. Our driver’s name was Ken Lee and he was an English and mandarin speaking driver. It was just a fantastic day the highlight being releasing the lantern in Shifen. My friends and I enjoyed Ken’s guidance at each location regarding what to do and where to go. And he was great for us in the sense that he left us to our own devices and left us to explore freely. On the way home Ken also made many recommendations for food for us in the city that weren’t overly hyped that he thought was nicer than some of the overly hyped places to go to. Thanks Ken for an amazing day!

5.00This was such a great way to see a few different places outside of Taipei! One could easily spend a couple of days exploring all that Jiufen has to offer, but we made the most of our short time there. Our guide was so helpful and informative. SO many food options for lunch! Highly recommend this tour!
Must see juifen and lantern release.

5.00George was great in showing us shortcuts to the attractions. He was patient with us and really squeezed in all 4 sites for us to enjoy and free time to explore in Juifen. George is friendly as I highly recommend. His English was superb

Terrific Tour

5.00Taking this tour with Joanna was terrific. Our first stop was Yehliu geological park. It’s on a beautiful rocky coast where you walk along paths and see not only the Queen’s Head, but many other nature-made sculptures. Joanna skillfully guided us through paths where we got the best views and avoided standing in the lines where most tourists waited. Our next stop was Jiufen, a small former gold mining town on a cliff. Before we arrived, Joanna explained the significance of the town and provided us maps so that we could easily explore it. We ate at the top of a restaurant near the end of the path with an amazing view of the water. Our next stop was Shifen Waterfall. The waterfall and the walk to it are lovely. After that, Joanna took us to the small town of Shifen, where we decorated a lantern and set it afloat in the sky! Joanna knows all the ins and outs of every place (including where the pristine bathrooms are!). She provided us an excellent description of the history of each area to make the experience even more meaningful. She also bought us a box of our favorite kind of tea. Most thoughtfully, Joanna is a great photographer, and she took many photos and videos of us and sent them to us at the conclusion of our tour. Joanna is energetic, upbeat, and kind. We highly recommend her tour!
Not a guided tour

1.00We booked a private guided tour and specifically requested a English speaking guide. It was NOT a guided tour. The guy was just a driver and he spoke very little English. There were no explanations of places where we were seeing or recommendations of where we should go. It was pretty much a drop off and pick up service. The driver was nice. However, we were expecting the tour to be guided. It was not worth paying the private tour price. We could've joined the large group tour for the same experience.
