Hidden gems and highlights
We really enjoyed the hidden gems and highlights of Taipei tour with Garen. She is very easy to talk to and shares a lot about history and current events to help you understand the history of Taipei. She was very generous with her time and was able to easily adapt so we did not repeat locations/snacks from our other tours. We asked her for a lunch recommendation at the end of the tour which was excellent. She explained the ordering system of the restaurant (find a table, select your items on a paper receipt, go up front to order, buy drinks from the vending machine), which was very helpful. I would definitely recommend booking a tour with Garen.

A wonderful tour!
We had a wonderful day with Tony. He was a wonderful tour guide and was very knowledgeable, patient, humorous and kind. He took care of our small group really well and took us to all the places mentioned in the itinerary and gave us the history behind each place, provided us the opportunity to soak our feet in a hot spring, booked tables for us at a restaurant in a greenhouse and helped us order our food. We started with a scenic drive to a national park and saw beautiful grasslands and water buffalo. We also saw volcanic landscape and fumaroles. We visited a hot spring and were able to soak our feet. We didn't bring towels and Tony provided us with drive paper towels to dry out feet with. We visited Beitou Thermal Valley as well as the museum. We took pictures of the Beitou library from the outside but didn't go inside. Our driver was also nice and did a great job driving up the mountain and back down into town. The meeting and drop-off place was also easy and convenient to find, with staff from the company waiting there early. Overall, this was a wonderful and well-organized tour. Highly recommend! Thank you to Tony for a wonderful day exploring and learning about Taiwan.

Do this tour if you love tea
Because I love tea, I found this tour to be very interesting. Loved the gondola ride up the mountain. My guide Bill explained in detail about the history of Taiwanese tea and the varieties. After watching a short video about the teas we went to Taiwan Tea Promotion Center. We sampled several varieties of tea grown by the wife of a tea farmer. Bill made sure that I got to see all of the viewpoints of 1,000 lakes area and pointed out the tea fields. I highly recommend this tour. Ask for Bill as your tour guide.

Xiao long bao
I love xiaolongbao, so I participated.
Ms. Lilia taught me with such care, and I had a very fun and wonderful time.
It was so delicious, it had the juiciness of meat you'd get at a restaurant, and I was very impressed.
Since you told me the ingredients in detail, I really want to try making it at home.
Thank you very much.
If there's another chance, at the place with drinks, wrapping the meat from the displayed menu and soup? Dessert? Is the black thing in the mochi black sesame? I really want to learn it. Pleased to meet you.

A great way to spend an extended layover!
Sean gave us a wonderful introduction to Taipei. He was warm, engaging, and full of stories and historical details that made every stop more meaningful.
One of my favorite moments was visiting a temple, where he explained the Matchmaking God and how people pray to different gods depending on what needs attention in their lives. It was the kind of insight we never would have gained just walking through on our own.
Sean made the whole day feel personal, fun, and genuinely memorable. If you want to experience Taipei with someone who knows it and loves sharing it, book a day with him!

A fun way to experience the beauty of Taiwan!
The trip was great! We were picked up from our hotel and met up with the rest of the group on Monday morning. There were about 28 people in our group and our guide Ciao and driver Eason did a fantastic job of showing us around the entire island and navigating winding and mountainous roads. It's a great opportunity to see different regions of Taiwan beyond Taipei. There are some days that involve walking uphill but there are always alternative options. The lodging is great. Recommend bringing some cash but most hotels and convenience stores have ATMs.

Thank you Vicki!
Vicki was wonderful and spoke excellent English! She took us to some amazing food spots that we would not have found on our own. Shilin night market is overwhelming! She was very accommodating and allowed us to be adventurous as we wanted to be. The market is quite confusing so having a personal guide is brilliant.

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.

A Great Day Trip
If I could give higher rating than the full score, I would rate this 120-150%. Felix - the tour guide and driver - speaks both English and Mandarin. He’s like an elder brother taking care of everyone and accommodating additional stops as much as he could. We had 6 people in the tour group coming from different countries, which is just nice. We ended up with extra adventures to experience the traditional railway Bento at Fen Qi Hu (奋起湖) and tea tasting in a tea farm in the mountains. Everyone in the group enjoyed the trip very much and we appreciated Felix’s effort of making this trip so worthwhile. It was really a fun day!

Excellent tour with great food at Shilin night market!
Charlotte was a wonderful guide, she took us around the Shilin night market and we had all the food we’d been interested in trying (even stinky tofu which was way better than expected!). We also talked a lot about life in Taiwan and she shared her own favorites and perspectives which was great. She also gave us lots of options to customize, so really anyone would be able to enjoy. Highly recommend this tour!

Great Service and punctual
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our experience with Taipei Departure Private Transfer: Hotel to Taiwan Taoyuan (TPE) was absolutely excellent. The driver was extremely punctual, professional, and courteous, making our airport drop-off completely stress-free. The car was spotless, very comfortable, and clearly well cared for, which made the ride smooth and relaxing from start to finish.
Everything was handled with precision and care, and the service exceeded our expectations in every way. If you’re looking for a reliable, clean, and top-quality private transfer in Taipei, this is the service to book. Highly recommended—we would absolutely use them again without hesitation.
