Highly recommended tour guide in Kaohsiung

We had a wonderful experience with Charlie as our tour guide in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. He was very patient, attentive, and well-planned, and he planned everything carefully to make sure we had a smooth and enjoyable trip. Charlie also took great photos for us and shared interesting information about local culture and Taiwan’s history. He is also fluent in English and Mandarine, which made communication easy and convenient. We truly appreciated his kindness and professionalism. We would be happy to have Charlie as our guide again in the future and highly recommended him to anyone looking for a reliable and excellent tour guide.

Jack was an amazing guide and friend. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the area and will keep you entertained throughout the trip. Things are catered to the tour group, so you can stay longer or leave earlier (or skip) any portion you desire. I would highly recommend. I have a much deeper respect and appreciation for Taiwan after this tour. Thanks Jack!

Very fun day!!

Overall, amazing experience!! We had Miya as our guide and she well organized and very informative. She made the tour very efficient, by setting up the lantern colors you wanted before hand, also with snack orders. Allowing it to be a seamless enjoyable time at Shifen. Highly recommend!! There are lots of hills and stairs at Jiufen. So be prepared!

Everything was excellent! Barbie had great knowledge of all the places we visited and was able to answer every question I asked right away. She is also a very positive, friendly, and cheerful person who makes you feel completely comfortable throughout the tour.

Wonderful tour

We had a wonderful time with Jackson Lee! He picked us up from the hotel and guided us through every location we visited. Along the way, he took great photos for us and shared interesting local insights that you wouldn’t typically get on a standard tourist tour. Jackson is very friendly, knowledgeable, and speaks English very well, so there was never any language barrier. He made the entire experience enjoyable, comfortable, and memorable. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a personalized and authentic tour!

It was so helpful to have...

It was so helpful to have someone waiting with my name on a sign for our family! The van was comfortable and air conditioned and could fit the crazy amount of luggage the four of us had (it was mostly my luggage! lol). The driver was great, super nice and got us exactly where we need to be!

Wonderful day for a family or group

Incredibly friendly, kind, and gracious Lena showed us around, gave wonderful suggestions and helped us have a great day despite the rain all day. She dropped us off and picked us up a couple of times when she found out I had knee problems. She was A++++ all the way.

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!

Because of a delayed...

Because of a delayed connection we missed our flight to Taipei. So we were rebooked for the following day. We found out about the delay after the 24 cancellation window was passed. I messaged the provider directly and called Viator. The Viator help desk did nothing for me. They just said it was outside the window so no changes were possible. The provider response was give them the new flight information and they would be there. And they were!! The car was very nice and the travel time was less than the quoted time. I would use them again.

Foodies Wanted!

A truly amazing and fun experience. The entrance was a little confusing to find if you are very familiar with the area. The restaurant workers next door were able to point me in the right direction! The instructors were so friendly and patient. Makes even the most novice chef feel like a pro. Would recommend to anyone and everyone who wants a half day activity. Already recommended to my friends who frequently visit Taipei

Small-Group Tour: Jiufen, Yehliu Geopark, and Shifen from Taipei

kavanderbosch, Nov 2025

We had the most...

We had the most incredible day exploring Taiwan with our tour guide, Oliver. He took us to Jiufen, Shifen Waterfall, the Golden Waterfall, the Yehliu Geopark, and even made a special stop for us to light a lantern and make wishes—plus several other thoughtful stops along the way. His timing was *perfect*; we always arrived just before the big bus tours, which made every experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. Oliver was not only knowledgeable—sharing fascinating history and stories about Taiwan—but also genuinely personable and so easy to chat with. By the end of the tour, it felt like we had made a new friend. I can’t recommend this tour enough. Skip the crowded big bus options and book this tour instead. You’ll get a much more intimate, meaningful, and memorable experience. Highly recommended!
