Make the most of your time in Taipei! - Our driver, Henry, was amazing. He was able to share so much knowledge of Taipei and take us to the must see spots. He contacted us the day before our tour and we let him know a few destinations we had in mind and then he put together the rest! He even took us to a restaurant where we had the best dumplings of our lives!! We never would have found it on our own.

As good as one can except from a layover! - So much potential, so little time! Richelle is a fabulous local guide full of local knowledge, and did a good job of tailoring a tour to our needs. Prepare to pay for some activities in addition to the cost of the tour, and make sure to be clear and decisive about what you want out of the tour (to ensure you get exactly what you want out of your time).

A Great Individualized Tour - Aaron was the best. He was extremely informative and very patient with our many questions about Taiwan. We saw several sites but he also did things at our request. His English is excellent. He also made sure that we had water and bathroom breaks. One of the best excursions we've ever had.

Short lay over 4 hours minus 2 hours travel time to/from the airport - Nick Ying was an engaging tour guide, even for someone like me who tends to be on the quiet side. He shared interesting history throughout the tour and made sure to point out key landmarks along the way. He showed and made me taste great food. He also took nice IG worthy pics of me and made the whole tour really enjoyable. Thank you for making my short lay over worth while. I wished my arrival flight wasn’t delayed so I could’ve seen more places or stayed a little longer at the temple to see my luck lol. Would definitely recommend to my friends.

Best private layover tour - We had a 6 hour private layover tour to Jiufen with Paul. He’s super nice, attentive and fun. He drove and took us to many interesting places. Highly recommended for ones who have a long layover and don’t wanna stay at the airport.

Great layover tour!! Worth every pennies! - This is a private tour, with picking you up at the airport and taking you to the city and bringing you back on time for your next flight. The airport is super easy to get out and get back. Aaron Chung my tour guide and driver is very knowledgeable and had great personality he speak English really well. He drop me to great places and he can get really good pictures! He is trustworthy and professional I highly recommends Aaron Chung!!

Terrific night tour in Taipei with Vincent - We had a wonderful layover tour with Vincent. He is a great guide and such a wonderful person. He did a great job communicating with us before the tour, when our flight was delayed, and after our tour. He made the most out of the short time we had and gave us a taste of what Taipei has to offer. He helped us get some fantastic family pictures. I enjoyed visiting the National theater and Taipei 101. The highlight of the tour was dinner at the night market and visiting the nearby temple. He went way above and beyond by mailing my husband his phone back that my husband accidentally left behind in Vincent’s (really nice) car.
We are a family of 4 (kids ages 4 & 7). He was even thoughtful enough to bring a car seat for my 4 year old.
I can’t recommend Vincent highly enough and can’t wait to schedule longer tours with him in the future!

We’ll be back! - It’s a whirlwind experience. Yes, we were able to visit quite a few places and were even able to enjoy boba tea and a bowl of beef brisket noodles (yum!) but timing played a big role. We came on a Friday afternoon so traffic and parking were major concerns. Jackson was a rockstar navigating through the streets and was kind enough to take us to a Catholic Church we requested. It’s “custom” tour for a reason so don’t shy away from asking and he’d do his best. He even took our photos. It’s still way better than waiting 10 hrs at the airport, given Taoyuan has quite a pleasant one. If you have time for 8 hrs I highly recommend you take it, check in was a breeze when we got back but we didn’t want to risk missing our next flight so we went back earlier than we should have.
