Great Start to Our Time in Taipei

Jordan_R, Apr 2026

A great way to get our bearings and get us out and walking! It’s just your group and the guide so no one around even really notices your tour. We’re learned a lot about the history of the area and how to get around. Our guy was very personable and friendly. It was definitely a good pick of a tour!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the private walking experience, found it a great way to get your bearings, and appreciated being out and about without crowds around. It’s fantastic to know you learned a lot about the history of the area and how to get around, and that your guide was personable and friendly throughout the experience.

4 hour Taipei City Tour

Edward_G, Dec 2025

David, my host, was a great communicator. He contacted me frequently to ensure I had everything I needed to find the meetup point and to confirm I knew how to get back. He is very knowledgeable about the City of Taipei and its culture. We spent a considerable amount of time at the Longshan Buddhist Temple. It was enlightening and an amazing experience. I have so much more understanding of it. The city is culturally rich and vibrant. I highly recommend David if you would like an inside look!

Response from Host, Dec 2025

We’re pleased to hear that David’s proactive communication and on-the-ground expertise supported a seamless and insightful visit. We appreciate your strong recommendation and should you plan future explorations, we’d be glad to help curate another impactful experience.

Great walk with a local

Naomi_N, Nov 2025

This was a last minute decision on my part & I’m glad I did it. I was in Taipei for work & only had a few hours to spare before I flew out. I was matched with a lovely local girl called Charlotte. I loved how the walk was tailored to my interests. Everywhere she took me it was things I was interested in. Charlotte is a really friendly personable girl, so easy to ask her questions & have a great conversation with her, I really appreciated her local knowledge but also her bright bubbly personality. Such a great way to see a city being guided by a local, I thoroughly recommend it!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

We’re thrilled to hear your spontaneous tour in Taipei with Charlotte turned out to be such a wonderful experience! It’s great that her warmth, local insight, and personalized approach made your short visit so memorable. Thank you for your kind words and recommendation!

Amazing time in Taipei

Jasmine_C, Sep 2025

My tour guide Alice was amazing in organizing everything we could do in three hours, and she was also cognizant of me getting to the airport for my flight. I saw historic sights, ate amazing breakfast and lunch. She was such a kind and informative guide! I truly enjoyed my experience my last day in Taipei.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

We’re so happy to hear your last day in Taipei with Alice was such a memorable one! It’s wonderful that she made the most of your time with historic sights, delicious food, and thoughtful care for your schedule. Thank you for your lovely feedback!

DrMatthew_F, Feb 2025

Quick little tour with good insight on government, history, food, culture and the sights downtown. Need to be fit enough to walk the adventure and ride the metro

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Your positive review is incredibly valuable to us. Thank you sincerely!

We loved Green’s tour as he showed us around Taipei!

Rachel_F, Jan 2025

Green was awesome!! He was so kind to bring our infant daughter a Taipei flag colored pinwheel and everything. He was very nice, did a great job leading us around the city - we had a great time walking all around Taipei!!

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad to hear you had a wonderful time exploring Taipei with Green. It's great to know he made the experience extra special for your daughter as well. We appreciate your feedback and are happy you enjoyed the tour!

Fun day trip!

Jillian_N, Mar 2024

This review is for the 6hr tour. Megan was our tour guide and she was best. She was so kind and accommodating. We didn't have a private car to take us around so we had to take the train between locations but Megan made it easy and we were able to spend a good amount of time at each location (we went to Taipei 101, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial, Dalangdong Baoan Temple, and a night market). I highly recommend this your if you don't know where to go or how to navigate the train very well haha

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Hi! I am so happy to hear that Megan did it again! She is a great host and always tries her very best to personalize the experience for our guests. Your review has brightened our day. Your support means the world!

Food, culture, and history

Stuart_W, Dec 2023

Garen is a wonderful guide, who explains not just the food of Taiwan but also the history and culture. Touring the market was a perfect introduction to the tastings that followed. Garen was able to customize the tour to my particular interests -- much appreciated.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Hi Stuart, Garen and our Team at City Unscripted are touched by your positive review. Thanks for choosing us and we look forward to welcoming you back.

Top Empfehlung!

Martina_H, Mar 2025

Ich hatte einen großartigen Tag mit Vila! Ich habe viel gesehen und erlebt und sehr viel erfahren über Geschichte, das heutige Taiwan bis hin zu heimischen Gerichten, die ich in einem einheimischen Lokkal auch genießen konnte. Eine Top Empfehlung! Danke Vila!

Response from Host, Mar 2025

It sounds like your day was filled with discovery, history, and incredible local flavors—just as it should be. Your kind words and recommendation mean a lot, and we’d love to host you again for another unforgettable adventure.
