What are people saying about Taipei

Kellie_A, Jun 2026

Excellent introduction to Taipei!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience on our private four-hour custom tour of Taipei! From the moment we met out tour guide, Alice, it felt less like a guided tour and more like spending the day with a knowledgeable, fun, and engaging friend. Her English is excellent, making communication effortless, and her extensive knowledge as a Taipei local allowed us to experience not only the major sights, but also hidden gems and local treasures that we never would have discovered on our own. What truly set this tour apart was Alice’s ability to bring the city to life through its culture and history. She provided fascinating context and stories at every stop, and she patiently answered what felt like my husband’s million questions with patience and expertise. Beyond the tour itself, she also shared fantastic recommendations for restaurants, neighborhoods, and other places to explore during the rest of our stay. If you’re looking for an authentic, personalized, and memorable introduction to Taipei, we cannot recommend this tour (and specifically our guide Alice) highly enough. She made our visit so much richer and more enjoyable than we ever expected.

Saved by the Guide

Our guide, Henry, turned what could have been a washout into a special experience. The weather was miserable for a good portion of the day (which meant no cats in Houtong) but Henry was so accommodating and informative that we all thought this trip was the highlight of our Taiwan experience.

So easy and clear communication

Booked online from the US and from the time of booking to pickup everything was perfect. I recommend downloading whatsup app, send a message confirming to the number provided after booking. They immediately confirmed my request. As my plane landed the driver messaged me with clear easy details where to meet. Very simple and highly recommended. The driver was excellent on communication and I felt very safe.

Excellent Tour

This walking tour goes through Taiwan's history while walking around Old Town. Taile our guide did an excellent job explaining Taiwans history, she was very engaging, made the history come alive and was honest about the dark side of Taiwan's colonized past to the current situation today between Taiwan and China. If you are interested in Taiwans history, I recommend this tour.

Keelung private day tour

This tour was absolutely incredible. We had the best day. Communication from our guide Jacky was outstanding, he was so kind and helpful the entire day. We visited so many amazing places which Jacky guided us through and then let us have some time on our own. His English was excellent and he went above and beyond to help us as much as he could. The lateen lighting was our highlight and such a special experience. We loved every part of this trip and made us fall in love with Taiwan. This is a must and having a private tour was the best. Thanks Jacky.

Michelle_D, Mar 2026

Night Market Tour

My guide, Ivy was so much fun. She met me at our meeting spot right on time and we hit it off right away. Ivy showed me so many great food and drink options in the Night Market. We also tried out the games, bought lotto tickets and used the claw machines for prizes. I had so much fun! I traveled solo and the tour was just the two of us. Her English was fantastic and I learned a few phrases in Mandarin. I would definitely recommend this tour with Ivy.

Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Yangmingshan, Yehliu, Jiufen & Shifen Private Tour From Taipei

Dexter_L, Feb 2026

This private tour was...

This private tour was such a great experience! My review is based on the itinerary, the guide, and the value of a private tour. Itinerary: We knew we wanted to see some of these sights outside of Taipei, and it was arranged quite well to fit in a lot in a compact day without ever feeling rushed. There was also quite a bit of flexibility built in to the agenda. We felt like we saw touristy sightseeing spots without feeling like they were simple, shallow hops. Guide: A was hands-down amazing, and we’d gladly book & request her again in the future. My parents already have future trips to Taiwan planned and will be booking through this company and guide again. A was an extremely efficient and smooth driver, despite the rain, the winding mountain roads, and bits of traffic. She had plenty of professional commentary to share about the sites, extended extra courtesy and hospitality to my elderly parents (age 78 & 80), and we even had great conversations about coffee, food, and nutrition. We were also impressed by her ability to comfortably float between English, Taiwanese, and Mandarin to accommodate our various levels of language proficiency. Really couldn’t recommend An higher. Private tour: This is really the way to go, especially to preserve the magic of a family vacation. Memories, comfort, and experience are worth the investment, if you can afford it. Highly recommend it, especially for such a long day of travel.

Our tour guide Alex was great, friendly, spoke excellent English and looked after us through the day. We got to the yehliu geopark before the crowds too which was awesome so managed to get some pics of the queen's head before the hordes arrived Would love to spend more time in each of the locations but that will have to wait for our next trip, this was still a great day trip to the north of Taipei

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.
