The trip was good. Lots of walking and the park was excellent. We soaked our feet in a public bath and even saw a Japanese museum.
The misty Yang Ming mountain is the best! Don’t get intimidated and it is totally worth hiking. The tour guide has been amazing as well
Had a great tour with Reina and Ethan our driver. Got to see Yangmingshan National Park. Was very foggy but was still enjoyable. The van they took us in was very comfortable. The hot springs were great as well. Would recommend.
Great host. We really enjoyed the experience even despite the weather. We would highly recommend to anyone interested.
This tour provided a great overview of both the national park and the hot springs in Beitou. The weather cooperated with sunny breezes atop the mountain. The views were extraordinary. Our guide Tony was a wonderful resource providing history and cultural information throughout the tour. Highly recommend this tour especially for those new to Taipei.
Got to see quite a few places, while also minimizing travel time, and really loved how much whimsy our guide had!
Kevin was a fantastic guide and made the day go so smoothly. He had lots of interesting stories and information. Thanks so much!

Wear good walking shoes and bring raincoat and umbrella. 70% chance of rain. In the mountains but does not diminish the experience. Our guide Kevin was great

Professional and knowledgeable. Able to brief us on the history and stuffs. Both James and Vincent are very accommodating.
Edison tours is an excellent tour company. Teresa greeted me at the meet point when she saw me walk up, I did not have to ask her. Teresa is great. Jenny, my tour guide was very knowledgeable. She is from Taipei and knew the history of the places we visited from personal experience. Jenny pointed out sites in the Yangmingshan National Park that I would never have seen on my own, or with any other tour group. I recommend Viator and Edison tours to everyone!
Guide tour GARY was very kind and caring t all of our needs .the tour shall expand the time at the hot spring foot message . I did not take the tour going to the fern pond. The path was extremely unsafe to walk on due to slippery rocky terrain
The guide and the driver were super responsible and friendly. If you are first time Taiwan traveler, it is a great way to have a taste of Taiwan. If you are looking for in-depth traveling, this might not be what you are looking for.

The first half of the tour was great, the mountains, the hot springs etc. Very scenic and lots of time to walk the paths. The second half with the flower clock and hot springs museum dragged. Tour Guide Vicky was very good.

Excellent tour guide!! Great tour, the guide spoke fluent English and gave a lot of information. Would highly recommend this tour.
Edgar, our guide, and James, our driver, were great! Edgar was patient with the slower pace my family needed to take and knowledgeable about each stop on the tour itinerary. Both of them were professional and courteous. It was a great day!
This tour met all my expectations and covered parts of Yangmingshan I would have trouble getting to on my own.
This could be a good tour if the weather would cooperate, the tour guide was fantastic and brought is to a extra location to make up for the weather. Very knowledgeable
Our guide, Kevin, was amazing! I would highly recommend this to anyone who is visiting Taipei. It was nice to get out of the main city and explore the amazing nature of Taiwan. It’s crazy how diverse and flourishing it is in the mountains. Highly recommend!
Cho, our guide was incredibly nice and positive! Even though we had some bad weather in the start of the day, we had a lot of fun!
While each place in the tour was beautiful, make sure you're there in the right season. When we went, there was no visibility due to fog and rain. Even the gardens they included in the tour were barren due to the winter season (such places should replaced with season appropriate places).
It was hard to understand what the guide was saying, since he wouldn't directly talk to all the group members(remember, this is a small group tour, so it should have been easy to address 4-5 people)

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We truly appreciate your feedback and take your comments seriously. Your observations regarding seasonal planning and guide communication are valuable, and they will help us improve the quality of our tours and ensure a better experience for our guests in the future.
Wonderful and relaxing day touring Yangmingshan National Park. Our delightful guide from Edison Tours was terrific. He had excellent English and knew a great deal about the park. He follows the itinerary perfectly, kept us all on track, and knew when to talk and guide then give us free time. He provided excellent, clear directions and descriptions for all out stops and even helped take some great photos for us. I probably would not have had a chance to visit the park on my own during my stay in Yaiwan, so taking this trip proved to be a pleasure and long, busy, but highly enjoyable day. We even made a stop at the "greenhouse" at the park for a very traditional Chinese lunch and it was not only a wonderful cultural experience, but the garlic and chicken soup I ordered was delicious and perfect for the day. Edison Tours, incidentally, was extremely efficient and clear with their communications and meeting directions. Super cheerful, friendly, helpful.

Thank you again, John, for sharing such a detailed and enthusiastic review! We’re delighted to hear that your day at Yangmingshan National Park was both relaxing and enjoyable. It’s wonderful that your guide’s knowledge, clear directions, and thoughtful balance of guidance and free time made the experience so memorable. We’re glad you also enjoyed the traditional Chinese lunch and that Edison Tours’ communication and support added to the smooth, cheerful, and friendly experience. Sounds like a truly memorable day in Taiwan!
The Beitou Hot Springs and Yangmingshan tour was a perfect blend of relaxation and nature. Soaking in the hot springs was incredibly soothing, and the views at Yangmingshan were breathtaking. A great way to unwind while enjoying Taiwan’s beautiful landscapes. Highly recommend for a peaceful day out! The tour guide was very knowledgable and fun. She took lots of pictures for everyone on the tour. Edison tours is very punctual and organised.

Thank you for joining our Small-Group Beitou and Yangmingshan Day Tour from Taipei and for your wonderful review.
We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the perfect balance of relaxation and nature, from the soothing Beitou hot springs to the breathtaking views in Yangmingshan. It’s great to know that our guide made the experience both informative and fun, and that her help with photos added to your memories. We also appreciate your kind words about Edison Tours’ punctuality and organization. We hope to welcome you again for another relaxing journey in Taiwan.
The tour gives you an opportunity to see many places in the area in one day; any alternative would require more than that. Our tour guide Paul was helpful and covered all the most famous sites. You would probably like walking all the beautiful trails, but it was obviously not possible. Also, the maximum exposure to the hot water you get is soaking your feet. After the tour, you get a good idea of the area and may decide if you want, for example, to go to Beitou for a day.
We saw so much and learned a lot about history of Taiwan. Reena our tour guide was excellent. Really enjoyed
The best part of this tour was our guide, David — incredibly knowledgeable and engaging! He shared fascinating details about Taiwan’s history throughout the trip (even beyond the day’s itinerary) and kindly volunteered to take photos for us. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate — it rained all day. While we managed to visit the Beitou destinations, most Yangmingshan spots were either closed or hidden by heavy rain, and we couldn’t reach Zhuzihu due to a landslide just minutes before we got there. Still, David went above and beyond to find great alternate locations, and we ended up having a wonderful day despite the weather!
Was excellent trip. Guide Peter is very kind and is very professional. He recommended one of best hot springs place in town and we really enjoyed. Thank you.
The views were absolutely amazing! The tour took us to some truly mesmerizing spots, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Our guide, Grace, was very kind and caring, and the lunch stop offered delicious food.
A friendly note: improving English communication would help make the experience even better for tourists who don’t speak Chinese. Overall, it was a wonderful tour with breathtaking scenery.
Our guide is great. Shared a lot of history and cultural knowledge. Lovely venues to explore for day trip.
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour, I think it was well organised, and included a great range of locations. Highly recommend!
