based on 24 reviews

As a solo traveler, it was a very enjoyable experience to walk through a bit of Taipei’s cultural history. I was fortunate to have a one-to-one experience which allowed a more personable and pleasant experience. Walking through old alleys such as Herb Land and the nearby old market was interesting and insightful to the city’s growth.

Richard was our guide, speaks really good English and is super helpful. He made the arrangements for places I wanted to go to and has a great sense of direction. He also takes great pictures! I'd recommend him to my family and friends for when they visit Taipei.

I could not have had a better guide. Steve Huang was amazing. My guide was friendly, engaging and extremely knowledgeable of the sites that we visited. I highly recommend him.,

Daphne was amazing. She was very detailed in her explanations of Taoism in Lungshan Temple and was very patient when I wanted to pray. Great tour for hidden gems in Taipei.

Our guide Mr. Lee was extremely committed and well prepared for our previously expressed wishes. Perfect.
