Great experience with an even greater guide - A great way to learn about both the history of Taiwan and also the present, and what it means to be Taiwanese. The tour is perfectly built, but above all - Leo is one of the best city guides I ever met, and I did quite a few tours all over ... He maybe is a bit " too much" at the start, but his knowledge, openness and love of what he does completely takes over.

Excellent tour - This was an excellent tour with Leo. He was very energetic and gave a good, concise history of Taiwan and the political situation with China. It may not be interesting for younger kids, but my older teenager enjoyed it. Would recommend bringing water if it’s a hot day.

Recommended! - Josi was very knowledgeable with the history. I am very impressed how fast and fluent she is with English language being a native of Taiwan. I can’t match up even if I stayed in an English country for 2 decades now. 😅 I highly recommend it.

Good introduction to Old Taipei - Dorothy was very informative and knew her history. Good group size. Dorothy always picked shady spots when she was talking.
