This was an excellent cooking class with a delicious meal. Serena was such a wonderful and gracious instructor. Her pacing and detail was on point. I’ve taken several cooking classes in my travels and I’d rank this as one of the best for the value and excellent instructions.

Top Notch Service

After exiting baggage claim, my private driver was at the designated area for passenger pick up service. He had a board up with my name written on it. I approached him. We greeted and he led me outside to a designated place to wait while he went to get his car. His vehicle was a clean comfortable minivan. He loaded my 2 luggage and we headed to my hotel. He gave me a bottle of water as I was seated. As we were riding along, he pointed out areas we were passing and made suggestions of places to visit in accordance to my interests, as well as places to eat, night markets info, etc. When we arrived at my hotel, he unloaded my bags and gave me a Taipei map of undiscovered places, in English and the native language guide, and a guide to Muslim friendly travel. I was very pleased with my experience with this company and my private driver.

My mom and I had a great...

My mom and I had a great day private tour with Eric. We were able to have a very full day in a very comfortable car with Eric and the driver. We were picked up and dropped off right in front of all the main attractions. Eric knew a lot of history too which was great since it was our first full day in Taipei. At the end of the day, we were tired and wanted to quickly go to the Raohe night market to try their famous buns. Our guide was so kind and escorted us to get the bun and a few foods before dropping us back at our hotel, instead of us trying to find a taxi or an uber. Would highly recommend this tour!

Such a good experience! Charlotte was my tour guide! She is local to Taipei and speaks English perfectly. She was a great conversationalist and was super knowledgeable about food in the night market. She convinced me to try stinky tofu and candied tomatoes and plums on a stick. Charlotte was the perfect tour guide for such a unique and memorable experience!
