What are people saying about Taipei

Michael_K, Jun 2026

So easy and clear communication

Booked online from the US and from the time of booking to pickup everything was perfect. I recommend downloading whatsup app, send a message confirming to the number provided after booking. They immediately confirmed my request. As my plane landed the driver messaged me with clear easy details where to meet. Very simple and highly recommended. The driver was excellent on communication and I felt very safe.

Keelung Shore Excursion: Jiufen & Shifen Sky Lantern Private Tour

Andy_C, May 2026

High into the hills of...

High into the hills of Taiwan. Whilst a bit of walking we didn't find it too onerous and we are in our late 70's. Our wonderful guide Howard devised a route which was faily flat as there are lots of uneven paths and many stairs Went to jifen Water fall which was lovely and had a sky lantern experience in the middle of a train track just before the train came. Great fun

Keelung Shore Excursions: Private 6-Hour Taipei City Adventure!

Diana_B, May 2026

We simply could not have been happier!

Will worked with us so closely that we got exactly what we wanted to out of our few hours in Taipei! Our ship was leaving at 3pm, so Will made sure we got back by 2:35 so we didn’t worry a bit! Will was due to arrive at 9am. We arrived at the dock at 8:30am, Will was there early, so out trip began 30 minutes early so we were able to squeeze in even more! We had chosen 3 tiers of locations that we wanted to see which was based on many items on our ships excursions. We ended up getting more out of our trip than any one of the ship excursions, at a cost of less than the ship excursion. We LOVED the sky lanterns! Will helped us choose his favorite vendor, who videotaped the lantern and us for free on our phone. We loved the lantern stair step village of Juifen, even on our rainy day. Don’t miss it! Will knows a stop that misses half of the stairs, which was very helpful! The Chiang Kai Shek memorial square is extremely memorable. Don’t miss the souvenir shop below the memorial. Loved seeing the Presidential Palace and 101Taipei Tower. Great, comfortable vehicle. A wonderful value for your money; don’t miss Will!

Taipei Old Town - Taiwan Introduction Walking Tour (Tip-Based)

Christine_C, Apr 2026

Excellent Tour

This walking tour goes through Taiwan's history while walking around Old Town. Taile our guide did an excellent job explaining Taiwans history, she was very engaging, made the history come alive and was honest about the dark side of Taiwan's colonized past to the current situation today between Taiwan and China. If you are interested in Taiwans history, I recommend this tour.

Keelung private day tour

This tour was absolutely incredible. We had the best day. Communication from our guide Jacky was outstanding, he was so kind and helpful the entire day. We visited so many amazing places which Jacky guided us through and then let us have some time on our own. His English was excellent and he went above and beyond to help us as much as he could. The lateen lighting was our highlight and such a special experience. We loved every part of this trip and made us fall in love with Taiwan. This is a must and having a private tour was the best. Thanks Jacky.

Private Tour to Jiufen, Yehliu Geopark, and Pingxi

Jannsen_T, Apr 2026

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.

Keelung Shore Excursion Private 8-Hour Taipei Urban Adventure!

Gary_J, Apr 2026

Urban Taipei in Depth. Up close and personal.

Evan, our guide & driver provided a wonderful experience in Taipei. He met us at the cruise terminal which was a must. Over the course of the day, he demonstrated his knowledge of the sights, history, customs, religious traditions, and people of the region. We had many different experiences with him. Ate with locals in tiny noodle spot, wondered around 101, rode underground, watched changing of guard at Chiang Kai-Shek memorial, visited active temples, walked extensively around local sidewalk shops and neighborhoods. All in all, a tireing but very exciting day. In addition to his knowledge, Evan was a very nice, personable man. It was our pleasure to spend the day with him.

Unforgettable Experience

This is easily one of the best tours or experiences I’ve ever been on in any country.

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

Taipei Private Custom Tour with a Local: Highlights & Hidden Gems

A Wonderful Last Day in Taipei

I had an absolutely wonderful day with Charlotte. It was my fourth and last day in Taiwan, and she took me to many places and I hadn't seen yet, and encouraged me to try the things I'd heard about but didn't know where or how to try. So we had tea eggs (hard boiled eggs marinated in tea) a type of fruit I've already forgotten the name of, and various nut and sesame and tea infused treats. We went to a traditional market, and I got to ask all my many questions, mostly: what is THAT? I have traveled in Asia before, to Japan and Singapore and Indonesia, but it was a luxury to ask all my questions. We went the beautiful Grand Hotel built by Chaing Kai-shek to receive his guests, and also to a lovely smaller temple, My favorite thing was that we went to a tea house to have traditional Taiwanese tea. The Makong Gondola was closed for maintenance this week, and there wasn't enough time to go up the mountain, but Charlotte found me a tea house in town. It was very soothing to have the tea demonstration and then sit and enjoy it. I highly recommend the experience. I also highly recommend this tour and Charlotte!
