Our guide Chiao Chiao arrived on time and she was very polite and very informative. The Yehliu Geopark was amazing and we were lucky to see water buffalo in the Qingtiangang Grasslands. I would recommend this tour for anyone looking to fill in half a day while in Taipei!

Great tour!

Cecillia_L, Mar 2026

The tour was very flexible, and we were picked up from our hotel by Henry who was friendly and informative. Plenty of time was given at each location to enjoy the view and take photos. we were able to collect many stamps from the visitor center and had a delicious fresh fish meal. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Hail to plan B

Monette_B, Mar 2026

Paul was a wonderful guide who was flexible and easy to work with. The rains brought thick fog to Yangmingshan National Park that we needed to have a plan B. Paul brought us to Jinshan instead which is the first settlement of the Hokkien migrants from Mainland China. It was a good alternative . Yehliu Geopark did not disappoint despite the continued drizzle.

We had a wonderful time...

We had a wonderful time with Allen! He was very professional, a great driver, and we learned so much from him. When weather prevented us from reaching one of our destinations, we pivoted to a city tour. We highly recommend his service!

We agree—it's a perfect way to spend half a day in Taipei! Thanks for your recommendation and for choosing YOLO Taiwan. — Lawson @ YOLO Taiwan

Very educational tour

Caleb_P, Mar 2025

Nicolas, my tour guide was very knowledgeable and service oriented. He was great at pointing out things throughout the trip. His driving skills were also great. He was able to answer all of my questions including things i asked about that i saw on the drive. I would advise spending the majority of your time at the geo park, especially if it rains on the day of your tour. He also gave some additional information about other opportunities in Taiwan.

Great guide

Roger_W, Oct 2024

Our guide was fantastic. We had to be flexible due to very rainy and windy conditions. But we were able to devise some changes that allowed everyone to have wonderful time--despite the weather conditions.

Perfect way to see the sites

Leeanne_P, Aug 2024

Our driver Vincent provided us excellent service and made our day easy and memorable. We enjoyed seeing all of the sites North of Taipei City. I can't believe how much we fit in 6 hours! It was beautiful and comfortable. It was the perfect way to see the sites. Thank you Vincent for a great day!

Outstanding day seeing volcanic steam vents, grazing buffalo, and amazing seaside sandstone formations.

Steven_R, Jul 2024

My tour guide Steven was AMAZING! Very communicative for pre-planning and excellent at showing me around, taking photos for me, and letting me enjoy the sites at my own pace. Highly recommended.

Good choice

BeeSan_N, Jun 2024

contacted the guide a couple of days before the tour to firm up the pick up time. Communication was smooth and prompt. Since it was a private tour, the time is flexible and could be discussed. We arranged for 9am and got to our 1st stop (xiao ye liu) ard 10am. The guide showed us the sights and helped us to take photos. Also gave us information abt the place. It helped that the weather was good. It was very sunny but windy as well. Half day tour is great. It's not too rushed and not too tiring.

Professional multilingual guide !

Jyunko_N, Apr 2024

The professional guide Toku made our family trip fun and memorable. His death of knowledge and personalized care is impressive. He is fluent in English and Japanese and was perfect for our family .

Amazing

Percy_H, Mar 2024

Amazing all around. Guide Sean was full of info at each site visited, which made the day even more interesting. Lunch was great as well!

Very good 6-hour tour

corinarodriguez, Dec 2023

The duration of the tour, 6 hours, was just right. We were able to visit 3 sites which are far off from each other. The van used was very comfortable - new, clean. The guide and driver are very friendly, attentive to our needs. I would recommend this tour if you have limited time in Taipei.

Toku was an engaging and...

Jeremy_K, Nov 2023

Toku was an engaging and fun tour guide who brought us to nice places of significance. His ride was comfortable and we enjoyed ourselves.

Excellent Private Tour.

Ivan_T, May 2023

Had a great and enjoyable trip. Our guide/driver (Ted) was fantastic and knowledgeable. Even help us to take wonderful pictures and imprompt stops along the way to the various destinations for us to experience the beauty of the local settings and lifestyle. Recommended lots of good food and places that are offbeat from the standard tourist spots. Great experience and wonderful companion.

Excellent day in Taipei

Jean_D, Apr 2023

Vincent was the best guide we have ever had! He engaged us in conversation and really paid attention to what we said. He then suggested a change to our planned itinerary to something that would make our experience even more enjoyable. Kudos to Vincent for an excellent day in Taipei. !!!
