Beautiful nature - I had an amazing three day tour at Alishan forest and sun moon lake. Beautiful scenery and stunning landscapes. Our guide Xiao Hei was very helpful with answering all our questions, taking our pictures and driving us to all the hotspots! Would definitely recommend and visit again. 10/10!

Amazing tour with the best guide - Three days in Taiwan — and it feels like I've lived a small lifetime. Allan showed the beauty and contrasts of this island: the scent of Alishan tea and the little red train climbing through the misty forest, the quiet paths among giant trees, the sunrise above the clouds and amazing sunsets. We visited temples glowing with incense, tasted the creamiest ice cream, wandered through wetlands full of tiny businesslike crabs, took a peaceful boat ride, and enjoyed every moment he captured in beautiful photos for our whole group. Thank you, Allan, for making Taiwan unforgettable.

Amazing Tour Guide - Tour Guide Xiao-Hei did a very good job of both touring our group and providing photo opportunities throughout the travel. He kept us in the loop on what we were doing each day and ensured we were all well. No issues and would go again!

My experience was... - My experience was awesome! Liked x100! The driver tour guide provided by this tour agency company - myproguide is just amazing! It has been a tiring 3D2N road trip journey but there wasn't a single complain from the driver. He was also able to converse with us in English. I will definitely recommend this tour to my friends who are interested to visit Taiwan Alishan & prefer to have a private driver rather than taking public transport.

Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience. Note it was a lot of driving in a regular van, not a tour bus. - Overall we enjoyed this three-day trip, and Xiao-Hei was friendly. The experience was as advertised, including two comfortable hotel rooms near Alishan and Sun Moon Lake, and Xiao-Hei drove the group to all the scheduled locations. Highlights included visiting the Alishan Forest Railway, Sun Moon Lake and its surrounding ports, Wen Wu Temple, Taichung, National Taichung Theater, and Gaomei Wetland. A quick note for future travelers: you’ll need to wake up early (around 5:00 a.m.) on Day 2 to catch the sunrise at Zhushan Sunrise Observation Deck. One thing to be aware of is that even though this was a three-day trip involving quite a bit of driving, our group was in a regular van (Toyota Sienna) which was full with luggage, so it felt tight. Especially in a middle seat. It worked out but it did catch us and the other guests by surprise, as we had assumed it would be an actual tour bus, which would have been more spacious and offered a higher vantage point. We thought that because even our one-day tours in Taipei used a tour bus. It was still acceptable but we’re just mentioning this so others know that this arrangement is typical for this trip. If there was an option to pay a bit more to have the same trip with a tour bus that would been nice. Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience.

Memorable Experience - Our time during this 3 day tour was very memorable. Alishan was a very refreshing experience of beautiful sceneries, sunrise, sunset and surprisingly monkeys. The sunrise train is a must do. Sun Moon Lake is very beautiful. The boat rides to different ports were quite fun. The hotel stays were very clean, comfortable with nice amenities. Our driver/guide Johnny was very attentive and accommodating. He drove us in a minivan and took us around to all the points of interests. Some are guided by him and some we explored on our own. Overall we had a very enjoyable time.

Too bad. - They don't give you the complete information.It's not by train it's by car h take 6 h and the next day you have to get up at 4.20 to see a sunrise and you do 3 h and the third day another 3 hours.Ask what hotels were and never answered and I found out how long it took the previous day of the trip through the driver.Cancel the trip and they didn't want to refund the amount paid claiming q was out of cancellationom But I claimed that not if I got all the information of the trip I would never have hired him.Very bad both the tour and viator q at last is responsible
