This was an excellent...

This was an excellent cooking class with a delicious meal. Serena was such a wonderful and gracious instructor. Her pacing and detail was on point. I’ve taken several cooking classes in my travels and I’d rank this as one of the best for the value and excellent instructions.

Top Notch Service

After exiting baggage claim, my private driver was at the designated area for passenger pick up service. He had a board up with my name written on it. I approached him. We greeted and he led me outside to a designated place to wait while he went to get his car. His vehicle was a clean comfortable minivan. He loaded my 2 luggage and we headed to my hotel. He gave me a bottle of water as I was seated. As we were riding along, he pointed out areas we were passing and made suggestions of places to visit in accordance to my interests, as well as places to eat, night markets info, etc. When we arrived at my hotel, he unloaded my bags and gave me a Taipei map of undiscovered places, in English and the native language guide, and a guide to Muslim friendly travel. I was very pleased with my experience with this company and my private driver.

Foodies Wanted!

A truly amazing and fun experience. The entrance was a little confusing to find if you are very familiar with the area. The restaurant workers next door were able to point me in the right direction! The instructors were so friendly and patient. Makes even the most novice chef feel like a pro. Would recommend to anyone and everyone who wants a half day activity. Already recommended to my friends who frequently visit Taipei

Private Custom Tour: Taipei in a Day

My mom and I had a great...

My mom and I had a great day private tour with Eric. We were able to have a very full day in a very comfortable car with Eric and the driver. We were picked up and dropped off right in front of all the main attractions. Eric knew a lot of history too which was great since it was our first full day in Taipei. At the end of the day, we were tired and wanted to quickly go to the Raohe night market to try their famous buns. Our guide was so kind and escorted us to get the bun and a few foods before dropping us back at our hotel, instead of us trying to find a taxi or an uber. Would highly recommend this tour!
