Loved it! - The travel time between destinations took up a lot of time but the experience itself was amazing! We made the most with the time we had and the tour guide gave us great insights with each destination and time to explore and go souvenir shopping. I enjoyed the tour guide’s energy and advice on how to be like the locals and navigating the metro system

Green (Hung-Chi Wang) is a great tour guide - Great to get a brief taste of the interesting City of Taipei. Best if your layover is minimum of 7hr (because it does take sometime to get into the City by express train- no problem though).

Perfect Layover Timekiller. Great Guiide - Perfect layover activity. Green met us at an easy to find spot and was very knowledgeable with Taiwan. He presented an itinerary but was understanding and flexible when we needed to adjust it. Perfect mix of culture and history.

Taipei for the day! - Guide was patient and very accommodating. Watched my belongings for me while I shopped.
I think it’s important to know that the price of the tour only pays for transportation to and from airport. It does not pay for all the stops on the train between that time. I thought for the price, all transportation could have been paid.

I had a very nice stay in... - I had a very nice stay in Taipei. My local host Alice (Wen Yi) was able to show me a lot of Taipei despite my relatively short stay. She speaks very good English (perfect) and so we had a very nice conversation in which I learnt a lot about the city, life there and also about the history.
The tour together with Alice was wonderful and I really can recommend her.
My Time was excellent . I would give her 5 stars from 5 stars available

Daphne was Awesome. The tour was perfect. - Daphne was Great. We really enjoyed ourselves and the timings were perfect as she put together a great itinerary for us and our time in Taipei. She knew where to go and when to get there and recommended specific things for us to try at the street market. We would have missed out if we tried to wander on our own. Plus we got direct information for questions we had during our tour that she had great knowledge on. I would recommend this tour and I would Request Daphne specifically. Our pickup was perfect and the driver was kind and the car was very clean and comfortable.
