Yangmingshan National Park
Edison tours is an excellent tour company. Teresa greeted me at the meet point when she saw me walk up, I did not have to ask her. Teresa is great. Jenny, my tour guide was very knowledgeable. She is from Taipei and knew the history of the places we visited from personal experience. Jenny pointed out sites in the Yangmingshan National Park that I would never have seen on my own, or with any other tour group. I recommend Viator and Edison tours to everyone!

Great tour and very flexible
We were very happy with our excursion. Our flight was an hour late but the driver was still there waiting for us and still showed us around and explained everything very well. He got us back on time and was very flexible, showing us all of the highlights we wanted to see along with giving us suggestions. I highly recommended this excursion to pass the time in a long layover.

A Memorable Trip
Our tour guide, Bubble, was excellent. He did a great job explaining each site we visited. And he provided wifi and water in his van. He’s very thoughtful in assisting elderly family members while walking, offering suggestions on where we can exchange money without fees, and cracked a few jokes along the way. We enjoyed the trip tremendously.

Good tour with a friendly tour guide
My partner and I had a great time on this tour. Even though all the trails were closed due to the big earthquake in 2024, our tour guide, Steven, was still able to show us quite a few good spots to explore and take photos. Steven was very friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and didn’t rush us and let us take our time to enjoy the beauty of Tarako Gorge National Park. Highly recommended.

Wonderful option for 1...
Wonderful option for 1 day highlight tour with family members of different physical ability & interests. Our guide “Bubble” was great - he adjusted the tour as requested, made great suggestions, and helped us make accommodations for elderly parents. Thank you for a very enjoyable day!

An Excellent Day in Taipei
Outstanding day in Taipei with Jacky. He is a top notch guide who is so knowledgeable about the Taipei area. He took us to many places and was so accommodating to our needs and desires for the tour. We all highly recommend Jacky as your guide. An excellent day in Taipei!

Best day trip ever!
This day trip from Taipei was a great break from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Shifen waterfall was beautiful, and the lantern experience in the old town might be our whole vacation’s highlight! Jiufen was quaint and fantastic. Our guide, Ruth, made the whole trip worth while. She didn’t just recite facts, she offered insight into Taiwanese culture as a whole. She kept us laughing and had fabulous recommendations on food, etc. She was an absolute gem.

Food Tour with Garen!!! Amazing.
You come to Taipei for the culture, the history and the FOOD. You get all three with Garen. Amazing guide who really goes out of her way to give you the best experience possible. She contacts you early to find out your level of food experiences and you level of adventure. She tailors your tour to that. We are adventurous foodies that will try anything. She made sure we had the best time and the best food. From Taiwanese “burritos” to Stinky Tofu (which, by the way, is delicious. She interacts with the vendors like family and really encourages you to as well. She is a wealth of knowledge with regards to the history of Taiwan and its precarious geopolitical role it plays on our planet. Her insight into food and the part it plays in our health and welfare was amazing. The variety of the ten food stops is perfect. You will not be disappointed. Come hungry. We ate well, but Garen made sure the portion sizes were appropriate for the day. You get just the right amount to keep you going and not feel too full. Just right. Come to Taipei for the culture and history. STAY FOR THE FOOD.

Awesome Tour! Reina is the BEST!
Excellent, very informative tour - especially because Reina, our guide, was like a walking history book! Her knowledge was very impressive, as well as her people skills. Very professional tour, and our driver, Mr Chan, was an expert driver. Reina speaks great English and was easily understood. Recommend this small group tour (there were only 3 of us) and hope you get Reina!!

Northern Taiwan Highlights
If you love nature, this is a great experience. Our driver Nicholas Ying drove us to so many great places to see the waterfalls, the coastline where we saw great rock formations, to the old town where we tasted super delicious Taiwanese lunch and out favorite, the paper lantern launching.. so much more to explore if time permits.

We loved this tour!! If...
We loved this tour!! If you are interested in tea and where the tea leaves come from, this is the tour to take. We learned a lot from the guide, the museum was small but mighty, and we especially loved the tea tasting at the end. It was nice to know what type of tea tasted like , before buying. We had our 10 year old with us and she said it was kid friendly! She especially liked the peanut tea candies.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Once you’ve had your fill of Taipei’s cosmopolitan cultural scene, the rest of Taiwan and its nine national parks beg to be discovered next. The island’s high-speed trains and sturdy infrastructure make exploration a breeze—but guided Taipei day trips help you overcome the language barrier and any planning-induced stress by arranging all your tickets, tours, and transfers for you—leaving you free to enjoy geological wonders, dramatic gorges, hot springs, and former mining towns that have inspired world-famous Studio Ghibli movies.
