Magical Experience

I recently booked the Yehliu, Jiufen, and Pingxi day tour through Viator with Edison Tours, and it was absolutely fantastic! A huge part of what made this trip so special was our incredible tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable, bringing the history and culture of every single stop to life effortlessly. Beyond her expertise, she was incredibly personal, down-to-earth, and genuinely friendly to me from the start to the very end of the day. I am very satisfied with the entire tour and highly recommend booking with them. Thank you so much for the wonderful introduction and great memories!

Markus_H, Oct 2026

Unforgettable Tour of Northern Taiwan

Alex was an amazing tour guide, who speaks excellent English. He took us to many great and beautiful places like the Shifen waterfall, as well as nearby Pingxi for the personalized sky lantern experience. We finished off the trip in Jiufen, where he showed as a wonderful local restaurant overlooking the East China Sea (for a late lunch) before exploring the town and its markets. Alex was very knowledgeable about the places we visited and also provided ample time at each stop for us to explore the surroundings on our own. Overall it was an unforgettable day that was very well planned out.

Awesome Day Exploring Taipei with Aaron! We had such an amazing day exploring Taipei with Aaron!

Taipei Private Car Charter Tour

Sharon_P, Oct 2026

A Perfect Tour. You won’t be sorry!

OMG. This was the absolute best tour. A few days before the tour I received an email outlining who the driver would be, his make/ model/color of vehicle along with the license. When we got to the cruise terminal Samuel was waiting for us with a sign showing my name. We didn’t realize at the time our good fortune of getting Samuel as our guide. Samuel was a delight to talk with and a wealth of knowledge about his city. He also has a delightful sense of humor. I explained what I hoped to see that day and he made it happen and a lot more. His suggestions turned out to be the most interesting part of the day. In addition he took pictures of our experiences. By the end of the day we felt we had a friend in Taipei not just a tour guide. His car was spotless and his driving was perfect. This coming from my husband who taught drivers training. Samuel made sure to maximize our time and efficiently get to all the requested stops. Another highlight was the tea house for lunch and the tea ceremony which he translated for us. Juifen is a charming city and should not be missed on your tour. If you have any doubts about taking this tour they are unfounded and if you are lucky enough to get Samuel as your driver you will be blessed with a wonderful day.

Small-Group: Beitou and Yangmingshan Day Tour from Taipei

Jasmine_K, Oct 2026

I was particularly lucky...

I was particularly lucky and got a guide and a driver all to myself, which also meant bonus stops along the way. In my opinion, the light drizzle only emphasized the magic of Yangmingshan national park, and all the hot springs we visited around Beitou. A very dreamy day to soak in some of all the incredible landscapes and natural wonders relatively close to Taipei, not too much time spent in the car. My guide James was super knowledgeable and enthusiastic, keen to share tons of historical and natural history tidbits that I much appreciated. Great lunch spot visited as well; highly enjoyed by this vegetarian. A special treat all in all! Would love to do again and recommend highly. I prefer nature outings on the more active side, and I imagine this could be adapted/adjusted depending on the group's preference.

Private Taroko Gorge National Park Day Tour

Philipp_S, Oct 2026

Worthwhile tour

The tour is very worthwhile, as you can see a lot of the beautiful nature during the drive and at the numerous stops, even if almost all hiking trails in the national park are currently closed. A day trip from Taipei is very well suited for this. A special thanks goes to our highly recommended guide Steven, who drove us safely, accommodated all our wishes, and was able to tell us a lot about the nature and the country. He knew the best spots for views/photos, was even always available for a photo, and gave us helpful tips for the rest of our trip. We received a schedule in advance and were able to coordinate via WhatsApp. Thank you very much for the successful trip!

Private Night Tour of Taipei

Davie_C, Sep 2026

Great tour guide!!

James was a very nice and accommodating tour guide. We visited all the spots and James was good at accommodating our flexible schedule and itinerary since I was traveling w my elderly mother. He will accomodate you and ask your preferences on where you want to visit in the 1/2 day tour and he also will give you great recommendations on where to eat. I would use James again for a future tour. Davie C.

Thousand Island Lake and Pinglin Tea Plantation from Taipei

Gregory_D, Sep 2026

Our tea tour and tasting...

Our tea tour and tasting was one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide, James, was fantastic. He shared lots of interesting and educational information about the history of tea, and his enthusiasm made every stop engaging. We came away knowing so much more than we expected. The views of Thousand Island Lake were simply amazing. The scenery alone made the tour worth it, and we took more photos than we can count. The tea tasting at the end was the perfect finish: delicious, fun, and a great way to put everything we'd learned into practice. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves tea, history, or beautiful scenery. Thank you, James, for such a memorable experience!
