A Wonderful Last Day in Taipei - I had an absolutely wonderful day with Charlotte. It was my fourth and last day in Taiwan, and she took me to many places and I hadn't seen yet, and encouraged me to try the things I'd heard about but didn't know where or how to try. So we had tea eggs (hard boiled eggs marinated in tea) a type of fruit I've already forgotten the name of, and various nut and sesame and tea infused treats. We went to a traditional market, and I got to ask all my many questions, mostly: what is THAT? I have traveled in Asia before, to Japan and Singapore and Indonesia, but it was a luxury to ask all my questions. We went the beautiful Grand Hotel built by Chaing Kai-shek to receive his guests, and also to a lovely smaller temple, My favorite thing was that we went to a tea house to have traditional Taiwanese tea. The Makong Gondola was closed for maintenance this week, and there wasn't enough time to go up the mountain, but Charlotte found me a tea house in town. It was very soothing to have the tea demonstration and then sit and enjoy it. I highly recommend the experience. I also highly recommend this tour and Charlotte!

Would definitely recommended.

Roro was wonderful ! - Roro was an amazing guide. She shared so many local customs and foods with us. As it was our first visit to Taipei, Roro was the perfect introduction to the city. A better more fun guide couldn't be found.

Adventures near Taipei! - Great day with Steven! We wanted to bit of an adventure for our day and he took us on some nice hikes explaining the history of the areas, to a very local restaurant with fresh seafood (who knew how many types of crab are caught in Taiwan!) and to the Yehliu Geopark which was almost like walking on the moon with fossils! Highly recommended!

Not really worth it - I completed and submitted the questionnaire, but I don’t believe it was ever received. I got a message saying my tour guide, Megan, would reach out to me directly, but I never heard from her. When I received the proposed agenda, I shared some feedback through the TripAdvisor messaging app, but unfortunately it wasn’t taken into account. I also don’t think I was paired with the right guide for what I was hoping to get out of the tour - specifically, learning more about the history of the memorial sites and temples I wanted to visit. Taipei 101 was listed first on the agenda, but I wasn’t informed that my guide wouldn’t be joining me. As a result, I spent the first hour of the four hour tour on my own, something I could have easily done on my own time. Given that I double the price because I was only a single person, it would have been nice to make full use of having a guide throughout the entire experience.

Do not book this - We travel a lot and take a lot of private tours. This was unfortunately probably the worst we've ever taken. Our guide Henry is a super nice person and will be very successful in life - but touring with him is not ideal. When he speaks - he speaks only to one person - whoever is near him. He doesn't include everyone. Or try to find out more about you/ what you like. He doesn't involve the entire family. And there isn't the charisma that most great tour guides have. He also took us to a transpiration museum he himself had never been to. I've never been on tour where the person giving the tour isn't super knowledgeable about our destination. His outline of the schedule also didn't make a lot of sense. Meeting at one metro line just to transfer to another one? We contacted him to simply suggest meeting at 1st location rather than wasting time on the metro. We also ended up altering the plan he laid out and cutting the tour short. I hate leaving anything but glowing reviews. And I rarely do. But this tour operator should have more training and understanding of a guide's strength. I do not recommend this tour.
