After the DIY, stroll through quiet Shiding Old Street to see stone houses, riverside village scenery, tofu dessert shops, and local food stalls. Free time for lunch is included at your own expense.
In the afternoon, visit the Taipei Tea Promotion Center in Maokong to learn about Tieguanyin tea, Baozhong tea, tea production, and local tea history.

Our Incredible Day with Jennifer

5.00Jennifer was our guide and from start to finish she made our day memorable. Her expertise, manner and knowledge was amazing and even if she was unsure Jennifer would look it up to give us every detail in her answer. We have been on many excursions but today with Jennifer was the best yet! She was so patient and understanding the whole day, assisting and guiding us. We love Taipei and even more because Jennifer was such an incredible person to show us her beautiful city and Meokong tea plantation. The gondola ride was absolutely spectacular! Thank you Jennifer for making our day in Taiwan extraordinary and also by hand drawing us from a photo she took. Special memories forever.
Great experience!

3.00Paul introduced us to a couple of new experiences- knife massage, stinky tofu, mango beer. The tour is way overpriced.
Disappointed, Cannot Recommend

2.00We asked for the tour to end early and for the tour guide to take us back to our hotel because his driving made us motion sick. He blamed it on the Mountain Roads, but I told him it was his slow driving. I didn’t appreciate him ignoring what I was trying to tell him. We didn’t tell him this to avoid hurting his feelings too badly, but his driving was also quite terrifying, going so slow and awkwardly that when he changed lanes, he was badly cutting people off. This also meant that the trip back to the hotel took much longer than he had estimated, despite minimal traffic. We were a little worried that he was trying to squeeze out time with us to minimize trouble he would be in with his agency. The car he picked us up in did not have seatbelts ready and working for the two main back row seats, meaning my Mom and I couldn’t sit together in the back unless one of us sat in the middle. This tour was too expensive for the vehicle to not have been prepared to be used like…a normal vehicle. Apologies for the sass here, but this was a major oversight in our opinions. Lastly, while our guide was a nice person, we felt that his English was not fluent enough to hold a conversation with him. We found we were both missing each other’s points often. He was trying his best, but we do a lot of travel and he did not meet the average English speaking level we typically encounter with professional guides in Asia. Overall, we did not see much because we were too uncomfortable to continue the tour with the tour guide. Therefore, we cannot recommend this tour to anyone.
Great tour

5.00James was an amazing tour guide. He was friendly, educational, and spoke very good English. I felt like I learned a lot about Taiwanese history, politics, and culture. Some places I had already been to but he offered new information! I was traveling by myself at the time and he made for great company while also remaining professional. I highly recommend!
Great experience

5.00Our tour guide Kuan catered to our needs and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the places we visited. Maybe stinky tofu is not my thing but good to try.
Terrific day tour

5.00It was a terrific tour that exceeded my expectations. My family and I enjoyed the tour and learned a lot. It was such a fun day! And I can’t say enough about how great Tony, our tour guide was. He was friendly, informative, and you could tell he enjoyed guiding tours. He even took pictures of us using his camera and gave us the memory card at the end of the tour. If you’re looking for a fun day tour from Taipei, I highly recommend this tour!

5.00Paul was fun and light-hearted as we explored Maokong. He shared a lot of information about the area and handled my questions with ease. The views: beautiful. The guide: wonderful. The food: delectable.
Excellent tour with Leo from Justaiwantour!

5.00Leo was right on time to pick us up. He was a skilled, careful driver, and we felt very safe with him. His command of English was excellent; there was no struggle to have a fluid conversation back and forth. Leo was also highly conscientious, making sure that we had the best experience he could provide. He was knowledgeable and very kind. Lunch at Big Tea Pot was scrumptious—6 or 7 courses made vegan upon request, reasonably priced. What we didn’t finish, we packed and took with us in a small Tupperware container we brought with us. The day was positively packed with learning, hiking, eating, and a little shopping. We hope to take more tours with Leo and Justaiwantour in the future!
