Great food tour with Charlotte! - I had an awesome food tour with Charlotte on Saturday night! We went to Shilin night market and there was an abundance of different food options to try! We also got lucky that we came across some birthday celebrations for a key figure in Taoism - Mazu. There were dancers, firecrackers and music in the streets! It was really cool! Charlotte was a great tour guide! She was so easy to talk to. Told me about local foods, but also about life in Taiwan in general! She’s a great guide! Thank-you Charlotte!

Yummy and gun - What a great time. The food was delicious (mostly 😜), and Alice was great. She suggested foods - some of which we tried (shaved ice!!), and some we chose not to. She was friendly, engaging and helpful. There’s plenty of food: we got full before the money ran out.

Yummy food at the Night Market! - This was a great experience exploring Taipei's night market for the first time. I really appreciated having a local guide who could communicate with the street vendors. The meat buns from the Michelin Star place was probably my favorite food the entire evening. I also really appreciated the guide giving me a tour of a local temple while providing cultural and historical context about it. This was overall a great evening.

Food Fun in Taipei - The tour involved two night markets in Taipei. Mr. Green was very knowledgeable and flexible. He explained local history, took me to the best place to eat in each market, and ensured that I experienced the local culture.

Great night with Charlotte - What a great tour! Our tour guide, Lin (Charlotte), was very friendly and knowledgeable and ensured we had a great time. We tried lots of different dishes and enjoyed them all. She also helped us with transportation and gave us lots of helpful recommendations for other things to do in the city. It felt like a fun night out with a local friend. I highly recommend this tour!

The perfect guide !!! - Roro was an amazing guide. We were shown such interesting people and foods. The night market was a maze and Roro guided us through with ease. So many different foods to choose from. She explained everything as well as the different customs and things we saw. She was a perfect leader. Roro answered all of our questions and made the experience one to always remember. She is a treasure and a definite perfect addition to Viator. We would wish her to be our guide in the future. 10 out of 10

A fun night market tour - Alice contacted us before our tour and made suggestions as far as our options to get to Songshan from our hotel. She was in constant contact making sure that we can find each other easily. Alice asked us what we liked, made recommendations as far as the different foods, talked with the vendors to make sure we weren’t getting cheated. We found her to be personable, considerate and pleasant to be with. I’d highly recommend Alice and this tour. It would be hard to go to the night market alone and not be able to communicate with the vendors. Plus if you want to buy anything you need to bring Taiwan dollars.

Great food tour! - We loved the food tour at the night markets. We visited two markets - one smaller and one larger. It was a great way to get a sense of the culture and taste amazing food. Our guide Charlotte was great - she took us to the best food stalls, provided background on the places and food, and made the tour fun and relaxed. She was flexible to accommodate our interests and very generous with her time. We definitely recommend this tour!
