Shilin night Market tour with Effi
We had a great and fun tour with Effi at the Shilin night market. She showed us around and helped us pick and buy the snacks that are must tries. We payed less than $30 for the snacks among the 3 of us. Definitely recommend!

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.

Really enjoyed the guided...
Really enjoyed the guided stroll around Shilin Night Market. Tasted delicious foods. Was instructed by Jason about the main goddess of the temple there at the market and shown all around the temple. The only thing I wish I had known about this tour was to bring cash to purchase all of the food items. I didn't realize that the foods were not included in the tour price. Wasn't a problem since there was an ATM at the metro station; just would have been nice to know prior to the tour starting.

The best night market tour in Taipei!
I had such a wonderful experience with my tour guide May. She took me to so many places in and around Shilin night market and I was able to try so many delicious local foods along the way. I would highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Taipei, I loved every minute of it!

Unforgettable Experience
This is easily one of the best tours or experiences I’ve ever been on in any country. Vicky had so much information and brought us SO to many incredible spots to try local specialties, providing recommendations for each and helping us to order. We learned and ate so much, and all for less than $10 USD per person. This tour simply cannot be missed!

Terrific tour of Shilin.
Lovely tour with Cindy. She was able to show me what all the foods were and what was definitely worth Eating. And what could be skipped. She also told me much history of food in Taiwan. I appreciated it a lot!

It was so fun to...
It was so fun to experience this night market, and really helpful to have a guide to show us her favorite spots, including what is worth waiting in line for, and what to skip. Vicky met us at the MRT station and walked us around the night market. We also stopped in the temple for a few minutes while it was raining, and Vicky was so knowledgeable and shared with us a lot about the history, too.

Great experience with a fantastic guide
Bessie was literally one of the best guides I’ve ever encountered in any country. Very friendly, informative and a pleasure to experience the night market with. She made some great suggestions and had great energy about her! I would not hesitate to do another tour with her

Food market tour
This is a good tour. We’re not interested in eating street food.the guide was great and waited for us because our plane was late. She seemed eager to please

Do it:)
This is a good size area where you walk around and try different foods from a lot of street vendors. There are also some nice clothing stores mixed in and even some carnival games. So it’s a really mixed batch of interesting things to check out. Our guide Vicki was very knowledgeable and did a great job at trying to make sure we had a good time and try as many foods as we wished. You could do this yourself, but it really is helpful to have someone who’s taking you around and explaining everything to you and even ordering for you and making sure you have what you need. I would recommend it. I did it at the end of my trip, but I would actually recommend it being one of your first tours because it will help. You understand everything you’ll see the next few days after that at other locations

When to visit

If you don’t want to commit to a full portion of food, ask a vendor for a sample—they’re usually more than happy to oblige.
The night market is a must for food lovers and travelers looking to pick up souvenirs.
Be prepared to brave large crowds and to wait in line at popular food stalls, especially on weekends.
