Only thing better than the dumplings was our driver!

It was a perfect day our driver guide Jackson did an excellent job pacing it out for us. We saw exactly what we wanted to see and then for lunch he took us for dumplings at a Michelin star dumpling place. They were amazing. This is the tour to take thank you Jackson for an incredible day.

Very personalized tour guide service

Vincent is very knowledgable about Taiwan and the brief layover tour that I took with him has given me a very comprehensive education about Taiwanese culture. We also sampled Taiwanese dishes which were out of this world. It was a very hot day but he found ways to park his car closer to attractions to minimize the walk. I highly recommend Vincent to be your guide in Taipei!

Highlights & Hidden Gems With Locals: Best of Taipei Private Tour

Highly recommend!

Eva was absolutely fantastic! We did the Hidden Gems tour of Taipei with her, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. She took my partner and me to places we never would have discovered on our own, and there’s no way we could have experienced so much in the limited time we had in Taipei. One of the surprises was the tea tasting. I honestly didn’t think it was something I would be that interested in, but I’m so glad we did it — it was such a unique and memorable experience. Eva was warm, knowledgeable, engaging, and made the entire day feel personal rather than like a typical tour. She really gave us a chance to experience a side of Taipei we otherwise would have missed. She also gave us recommendations for other places to see and places to eat while we are here on our short stay in Taipei. I highly recommend this tour, and if you have the opportunity to do it with Eva, even better. I truly couldn’t recommend her more!

Best way to see Taipei

This is an international experience with amazing conversation and discussion about Taiwan! The breakfast and tea treat are quite refreshing breaks for the bike ride! You’ll meet like minded people who enjoy cycling too! Make sure you know how to ride a bike or you’ll be turned away; I only bring this up because the tour guide mentioned this has happened before. The locals ride their bikes often so if you want a local feel this is definitely worth it! The bicycling was an awesome experience but the company and exchange of ideas and experiences was even better! One last tidbit is the views of a the city are awesome and you get a lot of recommendations of places to come back to again and again!

Xiao Long Bao, Beef Noodles & Boba Tea Cooking Class in Taipei

Wilton_P, Jul 2026

Exceptional and delicious learning experience

What an extraordinary experience it was to learn all about the art of making xia long bao, niu rou mien, and boba cha. The cooking studio was very professional, well laid out and impeccably clean. We made our soup dumpling dough from scratch and learned the right techniques for filling and folding them close. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. I highly recommend this experience to all, young and old, families and singles.

Flexible and will accommodate you layover duration. MADE MY SOLO LAYOVER STRESS FREE.

I was traveling alone on a tight layover, and my guide, Jack Chou made everything smooth and stress‑free. He arrived right on time, brought me to the Longshan Temple and Chiang Kai Shek memorial, Taipei 101 area and took me to my requested restaurant --Din Tai Fung where he even used an app to skip the wait. He showed me a proper way to eat dumplings. I felt safe and looked after the entire time. He made sure I got back to the airport with time to spare. Truly the perfect layover experience. Thank you so much Jack Chou, because of you, I learned so much about Taiwan History, Food and Culture and will be reading more about it.

Excellent experience!

This was an amazing day deftly coordinated by our guide/driver. We saw so much in a short period of time but never felt rushed. History, local culture, customs, and context were shared at each stop with a personal touch. Our personal requests were cheerfully accommodated and additional recommendations for our guide enhanced our experience. We'd asked to go to a local place for lunch, and it was an excellent experience. I booked (50's female) and drug along my two teen sons (18, 14) and all of us thoroughly enjoyed the day. Over the last several weeks we've done tours in Seoul, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Kyoto, etc., and this was by far the best. I cannot recommend it enough!
