Jack Chou did a wonderful job showing us around Taroko Gorge. Due to the 2024 earthquake, there are still limited times during which cars are allowed to pass through the roads. Jack navigated the times well and showed us what was currently viewable without any delays. He knows the sites for the good pictures even with current repairs being made.

I had a great experience...
I had a great experience with YOLO.
Aaron was very helpful, on time and considering. He was on time, well communicated and friendly. I feel comfortable and safe as a solo traveler. It was well worth since I only have 6-8 hrs transit so private tour was the best option. Would definitely recommend!

The most perfect day!
It was our first time going to most of the places on the itinerary. Jackson was a superb host and guide. It’s a great ‘finishing’ trip during our time in Taiwan as well. We started the trip at 1 pm because we wanted to be able to see Jiufen in the evening. Even though it’s in the peak of summer, the weather cooperated beautifully. It rained in the morning before we started our trip and by the time we got to Yeliu, it was overcast with the sun peaking through here and there. It was also breezy, and the same goes for the rest of the day. Jackson showed us many of the best spots to take photos and also took photos and videos of us. We made a stop to get some bubble teas along the way. 🧋He also took us to a great spot for dinner up in Jiufen. He’s knowledgeable, friendly, and really cater to what we wanted. We would definitely use him again when we return to Taiwan. Thank you, Jackson! 🙏

Our driver/private tour...
Our driver/private tour guide Chouly was very friendly and accommodating. We had reserved a private 5 hour tour, but she was happy to extend it to 8.5 hours in order for us to see what we had requested. We were happy to pay an additional 500 NT/hour for her extra time. Highly recommended!

Incredible tour with Kevin
This tour was amazing! Our tour guide, Kevin, was absolutely wonderful and incredibly knowledgeable. He was able to answer every question anyone asked and was so kind, patient, and accommodating throughout the entire day. He made the experience enjoyable, informative, and truly memorable.
Highly recommend this tour, and especially Kevin as a guide!

Best way to see Taipei
This is an international experience with amazing conversation and discussion about Taiwan! The breakfast and tea treat are quite refreshing breaks for the bike ride! You’ll meet like minded people who enjoy cycling too! Make sure you know how to ride a bike or you’ll be turned away; I only bring this up because the tour guide mentioned this has happened before. The locals ride their bikes often so if you want a local feel this is definitely worth it! The bicycling was an awesome experience but the company and exchange of ideas and experiences was even better! One last tidbit is the views of a the city are awesome and you get a lot of recommendations of places to come back to again and again!

Sean is very...
Sean is very knowledgeable especially the history of Taiwan. He was very clear in communicating in English; explained thoroughly the importance and significance of all the places we visited. He’s very friendly and gives us other options on what we can do; recommended where we can shop for souvenirs that’s reasonable and offer suggestions.
We highly recommend 😉👍🏽😊

Great Experience!
Jenny, our tour guide, was very organized, informative and energetic. The tour didn’t end until close to 5pm so it was a long day but it was very interesting and lot to see. Make sure to have local currency for the shops and food as the smaller vendors do not accept credit cards. Overall a great experience!

I really liked this tour!...
I really liked this tour! The lake was pretty and the guide will take you to all the good viewpoints (note that you see it from afar and don't go up close)
The guide had a lot of knowledge to share during the museum visit.
And the tea ceremony was so much fun - probably my favorite part. You'll learn tips on getting the best flavor out of tea and try some locally grown varieties.
If you go, wear appropriate clothes for visiting temples since there is one near the last stop you can visit.

I would do it again in a heartbeat
Our guide, Kevin, was amazing! I would highly recommend this to anyone who is visiting Taipei. It was nice to get out of the main city and explore the amazing nature of Taiwan. It’s crazy how diverse and flourishing it is in the mountains. Highly recommend!

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.
