Christine_A, Jun 2026
We had a really good time during our layover in taiwan. Thanks to bubble who drove us and became our tour guide. He was really accommodating and assisted us in all venues. He made sure we visited all our intended itineraries specially those that are a bit far from the city. Highly recommended!

Private tour

Kayln_B, Jun 2026
We had the best time with our guide Junior yesterday. We got to learn about Taiwans history and culture. We saw so many temples. We also got to go to Taipei 101. We decided to eat lunch there because it had a food court with a lot of options. Junior was kind enough to offer to take our photos along the way. The car was comfortable and he always kept the AC going because it was such a hot day. Taipei was so beautiful and our tour was great!

A Perfect Day

Mark_D, Jun 2026
My guide, Henry, was the best. He has extensive knowledge of the city and went out of his way to be sure I had a great experience. He succeeded. His timing was perfect for activities like the hourly changing of the guard at the National Revolutionary Martyrs’ Shrine. He is an expert at taking memorable photos and positioned me for the best shots imaginable, and he enhanced my knowledge of the city and the country immeasurably. Highly recommended.

Henry was an amazing private tour guide. He executed on our desired itinerary flawlessly and even through in some experiences along the way that we didn’t know about. Lastly, we wanted reservations for InParadise buffet but didn’t have any. He was able to call them and get us reservations.

Great personalized tour of Northern Taiwan

Danielle_T, May 2026
The driver Peter was in the lobby of the hotel waiting for us. He asked us what we wanted to do and what was important to us. We told him we wanted to see the sights learn about the culture and eat some good food. He took us to the northern part of the island. We visited the Geopark in YehLiu then we headed in the other direction and visited the Ruifang district where we took a tour of a temple and had the most delicious lunch at an old tea house. Peter recommended what to eat and he was spot on. We finished the day by visiting the suspension bridge and waterfall. It was a full day and Peter delivered.

An Amazing Layover Experience, Shoutout to our guide Jackson!

If you've got time to spare for a layover I highly recommend this experience!

Terrible Guide - Bad Experience

EliSusan_S, May 2026
Our guide was basicly a driver, NOT A GUIDE. No information was provided until after our complaint to Viator for a refund after the second location. Our first stop was National Museum where we were told to buy tickets for a tour that we waited another 30 min to start. After about 90 minutes on the tour, I asked her several times when it would be over. Response was soon. After a little over 2 hours we decided to leave since now 3 hours transpired and we had many more stops to see. The next stop was Chiag Kai-Shek memorial. We we left off at the back entrance and told to go up and look around. Upon leaving we realized that we did not see part of the venue and now rushed to the next stop. The third stop was the War Memorial seeing some guards, when i ask the guide if there was a ceremony "Changing Of The Guards" she said no. When I asked another visitor if they knew, if there was a Changing of the Guards, they said 5 minutes. As said, NOT A GUIDE. Enough said about a bad guide. The provider said the employee did their job, so Viator refused even a partial credit. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT TAIPEI, SKIP THIS TOUR!

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sincerely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to provide some context regarding the arrangements for your tour. For your group of four, we assigned a spacious van and a licensed English-speaking guide, Richelle, to ensure professional service. Regarding the visit to the National Palace Museum, we would like to clarify that the tickets purchased were for admission only. To enhance your experience, Richelle proactively helped you sign up for the museum's complimentary English-guided tour, which is conducted by the museum’s own specialized docents. We apologize if this led to any misunderstanding regarding the wait time or the nature of the service. On the day of your tour, the city was exceptionally crowded due to the holiday weekend. This made finding parking near Longshan Temple very difficult, which unfortunately prevented the guide from accompanying you inside. We deeply regret any inconvenience this caused. To compensate for the heavy traffic and to ensure you could see as much as possible, we extended your service to over 10 hours at no additional cost. During this time, Richelle not only completed the planned itinerary but also added extra stops at Raohe Night Market and Ciyou Temple to provide a more comprehensive experience of Taipei. While we are saddened that the inability to provide a partial refund resulted in a one-star rating, we respect your feedback. Every review is a learning opportunity for us, and we will use your comments to further improve our communication and service quality. Thank you again for visiting Taipei.

Great day in spite of rain

Julia_D, Apr 2026
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.

Response from Host, May 2026

Consider your expectations from a private tour before booking.

Lee_K, Apr 2026
I’m rating this private tour a 4 - while we were disappointed with the quality of the experience, guide Steven was kind and his pre-tour communications were excellent; also, the cost was reasonable compared to other private tours we’ve booked all over the world. But if you are looking for a comprehensive tour with a lot of commentary and local insights this probably is not it. Basically we had a private car and driver for 8 hours, and he dropped us off at various sites and let us explore on our own. There was a lot of silence in the car driving from one site to another; I understand that as guests we share the responsibility to ask questions, but I also expect a private guide to initiate some of this. Consider your own needs and expectations before booking.

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Guest, Thank you for choosing YOLO Taiwan and for taking the time to share your honest feedback regarding our Full-Day Private Custom Taipei City Tour. I am glad to hear that you found the pre-tour communication with Steven excellent and that his kindness and reasonable pricing met your expectations. However, I appreciate your candor regarding the level of engagement during the tour. We aim to strike a balance between providing a relaxing environment and offering deep cultural insights, and it is clear we missed the mark for you in terms of proactive commentary. Your feedback is invaluable as it helps us refine how we train our team to better anticipate when guests are looking for a more informative and interactive experience. I will certainly discuss your comments with Steven to ensure we are more mindful of these expectations moving forward. Thank you again for your review. We wish you all the best and hope you enjoyed the rest of your time exploring Taiwan. —Lawson @ YOLO Taiwan

Perfect day

Judi_K, Apr 2026
Steven was the best driver/guide we could’ve asked for. Communication was great and port pick up was easy. We had a full day and saw so much more than we expected. We travel with walkers and portable oxygen and he arranged everything to minimize walking and still allow us to experience as much as we could. We saw Houtong cat village, coal museum, tons of scenery and then headed to Tapei to see the major sights as well as some exhibits at the Palace Museum. At several stops he dropped us and then parked and met us at the doors which was truly helpful! We asked so many questions and learned so much from him. Definitely went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful day. We would recommend him to anyone!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your heartfelt review and for choosing YOLO Taiwan for your shore excursion! We are incredibly proud to hear that Steven provided the perfect experience for you.

I am particularly pleased that Steven’s thoughtful arrangements—such as minimizing walking distances and meeting you at the doors—allowed you to comfortably enjoy everything from the Houtong Cat Village to the National Palace Museum. Knowing that Steven went above and beyond to accommodate your walkers and oxygen equipment while sharing his deep knowledge of our culture means a lot to us. It was truly our honor to host you and ensure you saw even more than you expected. I will certainly share your kind words with Steven; he will be touched to know he made such a positive impact on your journey. We hope to welcome you back to Taiwan again someday! —Lawson @ YOLO Taiwan
