A Memorable Trip

Our tour guide, Bubble, was excellent. He did a great job explaining each site we visited. And he provided wifi and water in his van. He’s very thoughtful in assisting elderly family members while walking, offering suggestions on where we can exchange money without fees, and cracked a few jokes along the way. We enjoyed the trip tremendously.

Fun In Taipei

Jackson met us at the cruise terminal. Our first stop was the Chaing Kai-Shek Memorial. Since I’m a bird nerd, Jackson took us around the gardens for quite some time while I photographed birds. We then visited the memorial building. We wanted to go to the jade market, so that was our second stop where we spent 30 minutes. We went to the Grand Hotel for a delicious lunch and to check out this beautiful hotel. Some of our group of 4 wanted to do some shopping, so Jackson dropped us off at a shopping area. Next we went to the National Palace Museum. Our day was tailor made for our interests and Jackson was extremely accommodating and fun to be with. We made a new friend and will definitely use him again the next time we are in Taiwan. The day was fantastic!

Good tour with a friendly tour guide

My partner and I had a great time on this tour. Even though all the trails were closed due to the big earthquake in 2024, our tour guide, Steven, was still able to show us quite a few good spots to explore and take photos. Steven was very friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and didn’t rush us and let us take our time to enjoy the beauty of Tarako Gorge National Park. Highly recommended.

The Award-Winning Private Food Tour of Taipei: The 10 Tastings

John_M, Apr 2026

Food Tour with Garen!!! Amazing.

You come to Taipei for the culture, the history and the FOOD. You get all three with Garen. Amazing guide who really goes out of her way to give you the best experience possible. She contacts you early to find out your level of food experiences and you level of adventure. She tailors your tour to that. We are adventurous foodies that will try anything. She made sure we had the best time and the best food. From Taiwanese “burritos” to Stinky Tofu (which, by the way, is delicious. She interacts with the vendors like family and really encourages you to as well. She is a wealth of knowledge with regards to the history of Taiwan and its precarious geopolitical role it plays on our planet. Her insight into food and the part it plays in our health and welfare was amazing. The variety of the ten food stops is perfect. You will not be disappointed. Come hungry. We ate well, but Garen made sure the portion sizes were appropriate for the day. You get just the right amount to keep you going and not feel too full. Just right. Come to Taipei for the culture and history. STAY FOR THE FOOD.

Amazing look at history and culture of Taiwan

Really wonderful look at the history and culture of Taiwan. The personal insights our guide shared during tours of the Chiang Kai Shek memorial and of the temple afterwards were the highlight. My wife said it was her favorite part of our trip and I’d have to agree it was a huge highlight!

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!

Night Market Tour

My guide, Ivy was so much fun. She met me at our meeting spot right on time and we hit it off right away. Ivy showed me so many great food and drink options in the Night Market. We also tried out the games, bought lotto tickets and used the claw machines for prizes. I had so much fun! I traveled solo and the tour was just the two of us. Her English was fantastic and I learned a few phrases in Mandarin. I would definitely recommend this tour with Ivy.

Picked up at the cruise port and taken into the city and shown around dihua street, Wanhua district, Lungshan temple, Wanhua district, the beautiful and impressive Chiangmai Kai-Shek Memorial Hall and finishing off at the Taipei 101 tower and shopping mall.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day and would like to thank Macron for making our day trip so special and leaving us with great memories of our first visit to Taipei.
