A Day of Memories Made In Tapei

What a wonderful way to revisit Taipei! James was a delight and very helpful in helping with a mobiley challenged Grandmother! We covered our chosen itinerary plus many more sites! James was very versed in Chinese and Taiwanese history and shared lots of information about a variety of subjects! I highly recommend him!! The car was nice and clean and comfortable. I was very impressed with James' driving in the congested downtown streets with hundreds of motorcycles! He used cell phone technology to keep in touch and find places snd answers to our many questions! Thanks Viator for your service!'

Wet Adventure

We had a great time!! Tony was a fountain of knowledge and kept us on track the whole way through. We saw the rocks, the waterfall, the cute little town and then we set off a big lantern into the sky - and they arranged everything. Also met some great friends along the way. Highly recommend!! But one tip - bring rain gear! It is a tropical island after all.

Awesome tour with a great private guide

I booked this tour as a solo traveler, and was so fortunate to have Nicolas Ying as my private guide! He was friendly, engaging and informative, and served as an excellent companion and guide for this experience. And the tour itself was awesome with a great variety of experiences. I highly recommend this tour!

Phenomenal Day!

Booking one of the Northeastern Taiwan private day tours with a baby seat went very smoothly. Steven met me at my hotel with the baby seat already installed and we were on our way promptly. I was able to tweak the itinerary slightly to see what I wanted at a pace that accommodated Baby’s needs. Steven was informative as a guide and incredibly patient and kind with Baby. 10/10, definitely recommend.

The trip was organized...

The trip was organized and well executed. This we believe is significantly attributed to Kate, our tour guide. She was very organized, informative, gave good instructions to avoid tourists getting lost, was very knowledgeable on the history of her country, personable, charming and high energy.

Awesome Experience with Dave!

I booked last minute and was so glad I did! Thanks to Dave for such an amazing experience. I really loved the bun and the ice cream. Dave also brought us to several historical sites such as a Buddhist temple and gave us the context and history which was much appreciated. I would definitely so this tour again if I ever find myself in Taiwan again.

Solo Traveler experience

Alan is a Great Guide - hopefully you will be with him ! I chose the English / Mandarin tour group rather than the English / German and got him … he explains every detail even how to get to the spa on the hotels ( which sometimes can be challenging ) showing in the bus pictures of what to do and what’s included ! That also reflects on the rest of the tour … and you may think it might be too much but he gives it a very light funny approach making all very so easy ! Everything is thought in detail … even meal options as those are not included ! It made it feel really easy … The group was also amazing everyone from different backgrounds but friendly and funny the whole 5 days … the only thing not so good is the price as they charge a lot for solo travelers making it less accessible but if you are travelling in two - it’s quite a bargain to be honest for all that’s included and the quality of accommodations and tour itself !

Taipei and Taiwanese Food.

Kaspar was a great guide. He was very flexible and we were able to turn this into a food tour. How lucky we were that Kaspar has a great knowledge and appreciation of Taiwanese cuisine and we went to several eateries to try different dishes. We also saw and heard about the major attractions in Taipei. The itinerary had to be adjusted somewhat to accommodate my disability but Kaspar handled everything so well. Thank you.

Tea Plantation Tour

This was such an amazing adventure. We’re so glad we did it. Tony was an awesome guide who kept us well informed all the way. The entire trip was well orchestrated and we saw some beautiful scenery, including a tea plantation. The tea museum was a great stop, very informative. Then the tea ceremony to finish off was really impressive. We learned a lot about tea and taste. There were opportunities to purchase the teas we tasted. Also pot sets etc. This was such a great half day adventure. Highly recommended Wendy

Reliable tour operator

We are a family of five on a private tour. Tony, picked us up at our accommodation bang on time. He also communicated with us a day before the tour and gave us instruction what to bring. We didn’t feel rushed. We had been given ample time to enjoy the sceneries. Tony took us to a seafood restaurant. We didn’t have enough cash so Tony paid part of it and I paid him back after finding an ATM. This day trip is worth it. You feel relax with enough space to sit not feeling cramped. Tony treated us to Jiufen’s local delicacy of peanut ice cream wrap. It was delicious. I wish I had more. We missed the waterfall. It was our fault that we ran out of time. Tony was kind enough to compensate it, he allowed us to stop at Taipei 101 for a quick picture taking. I highly recommend booking your tour with Aviator. They are reliable.
