We had a great time seeing the northern coast with Stephen. We saw a lot and Stephen made sure our trip was efficient. We added a few little stops to the usual and still got back on time. It’s was a great day. Highly recommended.

Paul was an excellent driver. Very knowledgeable and helpful suggestions since I have limited mobility.

Perfect afternoon/evening in Taipei!

Denise_B, Jan 2026

Stephen was great in adapting to the itinerary that we wanted-picked us up at the airport, dropped our luggage off at our hotel and took us to the three hotspots we wanted to visit in Taipei! ( 101 - Roehe Night Market and evening drive by of the Chiang Kai shek Memorial-It was very easy to communicate with him -and he was very accommodating! the car was new, clean and held all our luggage !

Solid tour

Denzel_B, Jan 2026

Had a really good time on the tour but it was made better by Eric the guide. He was informative, showed me and pointed out all the good sights, was funny and was just one of the best tour guides. Overall a good tour of northern Taiwan made even better by him. Thanks Eric!

Richard_D, Dec 2025

We had a great day with Stephen our driver and his comfortable and pristine mini van. Even though it was raining, Stephen took good care of our family (2 adults 2 kids) and made everything to make the experience enjoyable. He was funny, polite and shared a lot of great info about our destination and Taiwan in general. Highly recommended.

Eric "Superman" is the best guide!

Holly_A, Dec 2025

We LOVED our tour with Eric "Superman" He had such great enthusiasm and passion! We had so much fun. He did a fantastic job of showing us where to go and what to do! We were so happy we did a private tour for just our family because it was so nice to have Eric whisk us through the crowds! Everything was so easy and we really had a fantastic day!

Ruchika_G, Dec 2025

Personalized and exceptional, Stephen guided us through the gorgeous YehLiu Geopark, a sentimental lantern-release at Pingxi’s Old Stefan railroad street, and a fun night tour of red lantern-filled Jiufen.

A must do!

Ralitsa_L, Dec 2025

This is a must book trip! It takes you out of the big city into the mountains and beautiful beach! What a great day!

The best Guide ever.

Private car tours offer the flexibility to alter the time spent at each attraction. Paul, my driver/guide, shared the history plus a narrative of the surrounding towns & culture.

Versatile tour from the city to the sea, to a little town in the hills and to the countryside

cashurst, Apr 2025

I chose this tour because I wanted to get an impression of how Taiwan is outside the city of Taipei and I only had limited time available. Paul, my guide was very professional and knew exactly were to go best. He was also an attentive and save driver. I had lots of questions as I was in Taiwan for the first time and he answered all of them patiently. Thank you Paul.

Eric did a great job...

Thomas_C, Apr 2025

Eric did a great job modifying our itinerary to show us off the beaten path places when the weather was less than ideal. He has a clean and spacious car, he is a great driver, and full of interesting information. You will definitely see different things than a regular tour bus would give you. He took many great pictures of my wife and I along our journey. Also, Eric came quite prepared. He has hiking poles, umbrellas and water!

“Like a Tiwanese”

arob, Apr 2025

Our guide, Eric, worked with us to provide a tailored experience based on our interests. He used multimedia to give us unique information at each stop. Eric’s suggestions for local foods and souvenirs helped make the day extra special.

The experience was great!...

Rommel_E, Apr 2025

The experience was great! Everything went well. Stephen was very helpful. I will highly recommend this to my friends and family.

Private Car Best Way to Sightsee around North Taiwan

Darawati_H, Apr 2025

We had Eric as our private driver and (defacto guide). His enthusiasm for showing tourists his country was evident. We had 8 hours with him and I gave him the free reign to determine our itinerary and route. In that time he ensured that we had a smooth ride and saw all the top sites with plenty of time. He gave us tips on what to do and where to eat and where to meet. The day went smoothly and we all had a great time

Absolutely phenomenal. We...

Chase_E, Mar 2025

Absolutely phenomenal. We thought the rain might ruin it, but Eric was an amazing tour guide who tweaked the schedule to make our day fantastic! This was my favorite part of my trip to Taiwan!

This is a 'no brainer' booking...so book it!

Marty_C, Mar 2025

This is a tour that you just have to book. It's one of those gems where you will see so much in the time allowed. And, you'll never feel rushed at all. Our driver/guide, Eric, rates as one of the best guides that we've ever had. He's knowledgeable, funny, flexible...just a really good guy. And if you want to see all the main sites on this tour, but have a desire to venture off the beaten tourist path and see some fantastic, unexpected sights, ask Eric for the 'Taiwan-style' tour. Honestly...'Taiwan-style' tour...make time and ask for it. You won't regret it . We had a blast with him.

Great layover experience in Taipei

Diana_W, Mar 2025

Stephen was amazing. At our request, he changed up the trip to do a mostly city tour of Taipei. He took us to some very fun, off the beaten track places. Super interesting. Full of energy. The day flew by.

Great, but rainy.

Brian_H, Feb 2025

Experience was good. Be prepared for rain! Launching sky lanterns was awesome! Would have given 5 star, but guide was pretty quiet unless we asked questions.
