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.

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!!

Great shore excursion!
Great trip from Keelung to Taipei to tour the city, see the most interesting sites, and learn about the rich culture. Our guide, Cody, was very willing to customize our tour and provided so many great experiences! Fun to try some wonderful local tea, treats, and egg noodles/pork dumplings in the midst of a full day! Wonderful memories!

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!

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!!!

Such a great tour, my guide was amazing funny lively, knew all the right spots to take great pictures even though we encountered a lot of rain. It was still a great fun day filled with lots of fun memories. Highly highly highly recommend this to anybody coming to Taiwan to be able to experience and see the natural greenery outside of Taipei.

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.

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.

Our tour guide Alex was great, friendly, spoke excellent English and looked after us through the day. We got to the yehliu geopark before the crowds too which was awesome so managed to get some pics of the queen's head before the hordes arrived
Would love to spend more time in each of the locations but that will have to wait for our next trip, this was still a great day trip to the north of Taipei

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.
