Great experience that...

Great experience that gives a very nice full day of the many facets of the north. Bus was comfortable and timely, our guide Amy, was knowledgeable and provided great insight. We were able to release our lanterns on the train tracks which was a really cool experience. It was quite warm out, but an overall lovely tour with lots of walking and sights to see.

Fantastic tour!

My fiancé and I love to go on walking food tours when we travel to a new place and this was one of our favorite tours we have experienced. Every single stop had delicious food and big portions - we were so full by the end. Our tour guide Dave was very knowledgeable about the food and local culture, and gave us some additional recommendations for activities to do and other food to eat while in Taipei and they were all fantastic recs (e.g. Maokong Gondola and tea houses, Simple Kaffa coffee with incredible views in Taiwan 101, and the best fan tuans we have ever had). Dave is the best!

I had a great experience...

I had a great experience with YOLO. Aaron was very helpful, on time and considering. He was on time, well communicated and friendly. I feel comfortable and safe as a solo traveler. It was well worth since I only have 6-8 hrs transit so private tour was the best option. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful & Informational

This was an amazing experience! It felt very personal, as the group was quite small, meaning the tour guide, David, was able to give everyone specialized attention. David was very friendly and knowledgeable and was able to answer any question we had. I would recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the Taipei area off the beaten path.

Manuj_B, Aug 2026

Must do if short on time

Absolute best experience showcasing beautiful sights of Taipei if you’re short on time. Our family of 4 (incl. 2 teenagers) thoroughly enjoyed every stop of the half-day tour and learn about the history. The Sky Lantern was the best! Our tour guide + driver, Mr. Ken, was the epitome of professionalism mixed with kindness, fun and knowledge. He expertly navigated the traffic and managed our tour so that we would maximize our time at every stop. Deepest gratitude to him since our tour extended beyond the 6-hour period but he accommodated with a smile. Would definitely recommend the company and Ken to anyone wanting to do this tour.

An unforgettable day in Taroko – Sam is an amazing guide!

We had an fantastic private tour of Taroko Gorge on August 21, 2026, starting at 8:00 AM, and we honestly couldn’t have wished for a better guide than Sam. From the very beginning, Sam was incredibly friendly, welcoming and professional. His English is excellent, and throughout the day he gave us so many fascinating insights into Taroko, its culture and history, as well as Taiwanese culture and life in general. We learned a huge amount while always feeling like we were simply spending the day with a really knowledgeable and genuinely nice person. What made the experience especially memorable was Sam himself. He is extremely attentive, polite and thoughtful. He even opened the car door for my girlfriend every single time – a true gentleman! These little details show how much he cares about making his guests feel comfortable. And on top of being a brilliant guide, Sam is an amazing photographer! He knew exactly where and how to take beautiful photos of us throughout the day. Some of the pictures are so good that we joked he could easily have become a professional photographer. We enjoyed every minute of the tour. Having Sam as our guide made our visit to Taroko so much more special and gave us an understanding of the area that we would never have gained by visiting on our own. We can really recommend this tour and especially Sam to anyone visiting Hualien and Taroko Gorge. It is worth every single cent. Thank you, Sam, for such an unforgettable day!

Private Tour to Jiufen, Yehliu Geopark, and Pingxi

Nancy_T, Aug 2026

The most perfect day!

It was our first time going to most of the places on the itinerary. Jackson was a superb host and guide. It’s a great ‘finishing’ trip during our time in Taiwan as well. We started the trip at 1 pm because we wanted to be able to see Jiufen in the evening. Even though it’s in the peak of summer, the weather cooperated beautifully. It rained in the morning before we started our trip and by the time we got to Yeliu, it was overcast with the sun peaking through here and there. It was also breezy, and the same goes for the rest of the day. Jackson showed us many of the best spots to take photos and also took photos and videos of us. We made a stop to get some bubble teas along the way. 🧋He also took us to a great spot for dinner up in Jiufen. He’s knowledgeable, friendly, and really cater to what we wanted. We would definitely use him again when we return to Taiwan. Thank you, Jackson! 🙏

Country, culture, history and people shared in 8 hours

Great experience by our Yolo Tour Guide Chiao Chiao as she guided us through Taiwan’s religious, historical, memorial, cultural and industrial achievements that helped make Taiwan become an independent country. Comfortably traveled in her clean and comfortable Toyota Corolla Cross Sport and could not have experienced Taipei and the significance of the Taiwanese people in 8hrs on our own self-guided tour.

Great Experience!

Jenny, our tour guide, was very organized, informative and energetic. The tour didn’t end until close to 5pm so it was a long day but it was very interesting and lot to see. Make sure to have local currency for the shops and food as the smaller vendors do not accept credit cards. Overall a great experience!

As a former travel...

As a former travel consultant, I select my tours based strictly on the itinerary and inclusions. While this itinerary was perfectly balanced and offered an outstanding overview of this beautiful country, the true magic of the experience came down to our tour guide. A guide can easily make or break a trip, and Su Chuan Ren (also known as Kevin Su) elevated this tour into one of the most memorable journeys we have ever taken. When reading reviews prior to the trip, I initially wondered if the overwhelming praise for Kevin was too good to be true, but he genuinely lives up to the hype. He has a rare gift for presenting information in a deeply engaging, fun, and humorous way, while always remaining incredibly kind and considerate. The quality of the trip was further enhanced by outstanding accommodations, highlighted by the spectacular Fleur de Chine at Sun Moon Lake, and complemented by fantastic breakfast buffets each morning. Between the excellent hotels and Kevin's exceptional leadership, I can wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone.

Keelung Shore Excursions: Private 6-Hour Taipei City Adventure!

Diana_B, May 2026

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!
