What are people saying about Taipei

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!

Taipei Old Town - Taiwan Introduction Walking Tour (Tip-Based)

Christine_C, Apr 2026

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.

Private Tour to Jiufen, Yehliu Geopark, and Pingxi

Jannsen_T, Apr 2026

Amazing Private Tour !!

We had such a great time on this private tour. The vehicle was big and spacious. Allen, our guide, showed us to the places where we could get the best photos and gave us a good background and history of the area. Allen was funny and knowledgeable. He made sure we beat the crowds and we got to see the best. Highly recommended ! I would recommend this tour over the mass joiner tours. The extra price is worth the VIP treatment and access. The joiner tours all ended early and did not get to see jiufen at night.

Keelung Shore Excursion: Jiufen & Shifen Sky Lantern Private Tour

Stephen_C, Apr 2026

Great tour!

I had a wonderful time on this tour with An. She is very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We visited two beautiful waterfalls and two Old Streets. We also stopped by the Yin Yang sea which had some interesting old abandoned mining buildings across the street. It was fun walking through the old streets of Shifen and Jiufen where I got to try lots of local foods and snacks. I highly recommend this tour and An as your guide if possible.

Jiufen, Shifen and Houtong Cat Village Private Tour

Jesse_R, Apr 2026

Sean is the only guide you need for this tour

We booked the Jiufen, Shifen, and Houtong Cat Village private tour with Sean and it was one of the best decisions of our entire trip to Taiwan. Hitting three such different spots in one day could easily feel rushed, but Sean paced everything perfectly and made each place feel special. Jiufen was stunning — Sean knew exactly where to position us for the best views and helped us avoid the crowds. At Shifen, he made the sky lantern experience feel genuinely memorable rather than just a tourist checkbox. And Houtong? The cats basically came to us, which we’re pretty sure was Sean’s doing. Beyond the itinerary itself, Sean was just great company — friendly, flexible, and full of local knowledge that you won’t find in any guidebook. Having a private driver and guide made the whole day feel effortless. Highly recommend, don’t even think about doing this one without him.

Private driving tour

We had an excellent full-day private driving tour of Taipei and highly recommend it. Our guide Eddy was professional, friendly, fluent in English and knowledgeable, and made the entire day enjoyable and stress-free. He showed us a mix of major highlights and local spots, shared interesting history and made sure everything was comfortable and well-paced. It was an excellent way to see Taipei in a short amount of time.

Taiwan TST: Private Tour Taipei Yehliu, Chaojing, Shifen, Jiufen

Timothy_S, Mar 2026

Jiufen is definitely worth a visit if you are in Taipei and have an extra day.

Indeed a full day’s worth of activities, suitable for both adults and kids. Leo was thoughtful helping to watch out for my little girl and even surprising us with buying a famous local dessert while we were having dinner (it would otherwise have been a little too far away to pop in to with my girl in tow).

Taipei Arrival Private Transfer: Taiwan Taoyuan (TPE) to Hotel

Randy_A, Feb 2026

Because of a delayed...

Because of a delayed connection we missed our flight to Taipei. So we were rebooked for the following day. We found out about the delay after the 24 cancellation window was passed. I messaged the provider directly and called Viator. The Viator help desk did nothing for me. They just said it was outside the window so no changes were possible. The provider response was give them the new flight information and they would be there. And they were!! The car was very nice and the travel time was less than the quoted time. I would use them again.

Unforgettable Experience

This is easily one of the best tours or experiences I’ve ever been on in any country. Vicky had so much information and brought us SO to many incredible spots to try local specialties, providing recommendations for each and helping us to order. We learned and ate so much, and all for less than $10 USD per person. This tour simply cannot be missed!

Taipei Private Custom Tour with a Local: Highlights & Hidden Gems

A Wonderful Last Day in Taipei

I had an absolutely wonderful day with Charlotte. It was my fourth and last day in Taiwan, and she took me to many places and I hadn't seen yet, and encouraged me to try the things I'd heard about but didn't know where or how to try. So we had tea eggs (hard boiled eggs marinated in tea) a type of fruit I've already forgotten the name of, and various nut and sesame and tea infused treats. We went to a traditional market, and I got to ask all my many questions, mostly: what is THAT? I have traveled in Asia before, to Japan and Singapore and Indonesia, but it was a luxury to ask all my questions. We went the beautiful Grand Hotel built by Chaing Kai-shek to receive his guests, and also to a lovely smaller temple, My favorite thing was that we went to a tea house to have traditional Taiwanese tea. The Makong Gondola was closed for maintenance this week, and there wasn't enough time to go up the mountain, but Charlotte found me a tea house in town. It was very soothing to have the tea demonstration and then sit and enjoy it. I highly recommend the experience. I also highly recommend this tour and Charlotte!
