Private Taroko Gorge National Park Day Tour

Merlyn_M, May 2026

Amazing and must book!

Taroko is a must see! We were going to explore taroko without a tour guide but we were so glad we booked a tour instead. Since the earthquake, there are many places closed and the road is very precarious. This tour such an awesome experience and so personalised. Our guide's name was Chouly and she was so good, knew a lot, took lots of great photos of me and my partner and was so considerate. Book this tour!

Family trip to Taipei

Vincent made our Jiufen, Shifen & Yehliu Geopark tour seamless and memorable. Despite the rainy day, he was attentive and caring, making my elderly parents feel completely at ease. Comfortable ride, great conversations, and rich insights into Taiwan’s history and culture—such a special family experience.

We enjoyed the Sky...

We enjoyed the Sky Lantern a lot. The bus is comfortable and it has an excellent AC, which helped since it is hot and humid during our tour. Cipher, our tour guide is great. She explained some history of the places we went to. I would highly recommend and ask for Cipher as your tour guide.

Great Day Tour

Junior was a knowledgable and friendly tour guide. He knew a lot about the areas, its history and culture. The lantern experience was a special highlight, watching others share the joy in releasing their lanterns. The shopping village was a great place to find some unique items.

Great day in spite of rain

Our tour guide, Nana, was so much fun and completely flexible about our itinerary, so we had an amazing day in spite of the rain! Instead of visiting temples and shrines, Nana took us to Shifen Village to send up lanterns, and to see the Geopark which was just gorgeous. We then went to Jiufen Village and the crazy shopping area there. We got to sample so many local goodies and then had a delicious lunch in a local restaurant you have to access through a cave like passage. A day that could have been ruined by the rain, turned out to be one of our best thanks to Nana.

Best day trip ever!

This day trip from Taipei was a great break from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Shifen waterfall was beautiful, and the lantern experience in the old town might be our whole vacation’s highlight! Jiufen was quaint and fantastic. Our guide, Ruth, made the whole trip worth while. She didn’t just recite facts, she offered insight into Taiwanese culture as a whole. She kept us laughing and had fabulous recommendations on food, etc. She was an absolute gem.

See a lot while having good, safe fun!

This is a super easy and safe ride even for those who are not cycling experts. Rita, our guide, took us on an interesting tour through back streets as well as sailing along grand boulevards. She always made sure intersections were safe for all to cross. Breakfast was a pure delight and since we were an adventurous crew, Rita introduced us a snack of pig blood cake. It’s far tastier than it sounds. In addition to being a great biking guiide, Rita is smart and has a delightful sense of humor. Don’t miss this excursion.

Thousand Island Lake and Pinglin Tea Plantation from Taipei

Pamela_A, Dec 2025

Tea tasting and scenic views

Casual drive through the mountains just south of Taipei. Saw local tea fields over looking the thousand island lake. Guide was helpful, especially answering questions about the fauna. The highlight was the tea tasting with a tea master: three teas of which two were locally grown.
