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!

Great trip to Shifen and Jiufen
Roger picked us up at hotel and first stop was Shifen. We released lanterns and it was fun. Next stop was Golden Waterfall. Last stop was Jiufen. We went to Xiahai City God temple first. Roger explained the history of the temple, how to worship the gods by burning ghost money in a furnace - very interesting. We visited the old street and he helped us communicate with all the vendors. The highlight was tea at A-Mei tea house. Roger got us a seat on the edge with a beautiful view. We also went to the old theater. I would recommend this tour especially with Roger.

Great curated introduction to Taipei from Keelung
Excellent private tour of Taipei with Alex. Great driver and very good guide in a clean and newer car.
We provided a list of the places we wanted to see and he curated the day. Alex was informative and always friendly and courteous.
Great day all around!!

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.

Local Experience in Taroko National Park
We had such a great experience on this private Taroko National Park tour. Our driver, James, was incredibly kind, friendly, and made the entire day feel relaxed and personalized. Instead of just hitting the typical tourist spots, he also took us to some hidden local gems that we wouldn’t have found on our own.
One of the highlights was when he even got us handmade mochi, such a thoughtful and memorable touch that really made the experience feel special and authentic.
The pace of the tour was perfect, and we never felt rushed. We would recommend this tour!

Excellent time with James!
We had an excellent time with James today! I have taken this tour before and couldn’t wait to do it again with my mom and daughter. They made my daughter’s birthday very enjoyable and we loved visiting Taiwan!!! I highly recommend this all day tour. Here is an itinerary of what we did today:
All day tour: Yehliu Geopark, Jiufen, Pingxi
45 min drive to Yehliu Geopark
40 min drive to Jiufen (miners old town)
40 min to Shifen for Waterfall
10 min to Pingxi (sky lanterns by railroad)
We can’t wait to come back! And I will only book with Edison Tours!!!

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.

The tour was a great...
The tour was a great education into Taipei's landmarks and history. I certainly learned a lot and got some steps in. Vans are comfortable and there are several opportunities to grab souvenirs and food. Definitely take this tour if you have a whole day free.

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!

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.
