Amazing Private Tour !!
We had such a great time on this private tour. The vehicle was big and spacious. Allen, our guide, showed us to the places where we could get the best photos and gave us a good background and history of the area. Allen was funny and knowledgeable. He made sure we beat the crowds and we got to see the best. Highly recommended ! I would recommend this tour over the mass joiner tours. The extra price is worth the VIP treatment and access. The joiner tours all ended early and did not get to see jiufen at night.

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!!

Excellent experience!
This was an amazing day deftly coordinated by our guide/driver. We saw so much in a short period of time but never felt rushed. History, local culture, customs, and context were shared at each stop with a personal touch. Our personal requests were cheerfully accommodated and additional recommendations for our guide enhanced our experience. We'd asked to go to a local place for lunch, and it was an excellent experience. I booked (50's female) and drug along my two teen sons (18, 14) and all of us thoroughly enjoyed the day. Over the last several weeks we've done tours in Seoul, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Kyoto, etc., and this was by far the best. I cannot recommend it enough!

Perfect day
Steven was the best driver/guide we could’ve asked for. Communication was great and port pick up was easy. We had a full day and saw so much more than we expected. We travel with walkers and portable oxygen and he arranged everything to minimize walking and still allow us to experience as much as we could. We saw Houtong cat village, coal museum, tons of scenery and then headed to Tapei to see the major sights as well as some exhibits at the Palace Museum. At several stops he dropped us and then parked and met us at the doors which was truly helpful! We asked so many questions and learned so much from him. Definitely went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful day. We would recommend him to anyone!

Great tour with Steven
Our tour guide was Steven and from the start he was outstanding! He gave us an itinerary the day before that laid out everything we were going to do and the rough timeline. He picked us up right at 7am and was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to all the great places we wanted to go and gave us great background on the area. He gave great recommendations for lunch and made sure we were back on time. I cannot recommend him enough! Thanks Steven!!

Back to time travel in Jiufen and Shifen
Great experience to see the sky lantern go up the sky with so much preparation from people involved and ink pen and material to get well wishes messages on the lantern before hand. Amazing tour guide, Vincent to help the tour so well organised despite misty weather this morning. Had a great day with a bowl of beef noodles for lunch before travelling back to Taipei. Worth of time to travel in Jiufen and Shifen villages to explore the local amenities. Thank you.

Wonderful Tour
Tony was terrific. He was informative as a guide and gave us plenty of time at each location. We were never rushed. On a side note, I messed up and went to the wrong location to start the morning. Tony drove to my family and pick us without complaint. He really was great. The tour location were also beautiful. My family loved the tour

Garen is the best!
Garen was absolutely amazing! As was her personality!! I can't wait to come back and have her as a tour guide again. The tour lasted about 3 hours and was filled with delicious foods and stories/history of Taiwan. I mentioned how much I enjoyed mochi and she made sure to get me some fresh mochi =]. She helped my mother with using chopsticks and was just a really sweet and kind person.

As good as one can except from a layover!
So much potential, so little time! Richelle is a fabulous local guide full of local knowledge, and did a good job of tailoring a tour to our needs. Prepare to pay for some activities in addition to the cost of the tour, and make sure to be clear and decisive about what you want out of the tour (to ensure you get exactly what you want out of your time).

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.

Great Walking Day Tour of Yangmingshan National Park
Wonderful and relaxing day touring Yangmingshan National Park. Our delightful guide from Edison Tours was terrific. He had excellent English and knew a great deal about the park. He follows the itinerary perfectly, kept us all on track, and knew when to talk and guide then give us free time. He provided excellent, clear directions and descriptions for all out stops and even helped take some great photos for us. I probably would not have had a chance to visit the park on my own during my stay in Yaiwan, so taking this trip proved to be a pleasure and long, busy, but highly enjoyable day. We even made a stop at the "greenhouse" at the park for a very traditional Chinese lunch and it was not only a wonderful cultural experience, but the garlic and chicken soup I ordered was delicious and perfect for the day. Edison Tours, incidentally, was extremely efficient and clear with their communications and meeting directions. Super cheerful, friendly, helpful.

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.
