Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We came to this evening tour with varying levels of knowledge of Taiwanese history and culture. Our wonderful guide Garen helped us level set, first providing a general history of the country, city and the neighborhood we were in. We got to visit the temple around which the night market grew, then plunged into the market itself. Garen showed us the ropes and helped us find what we were interested in and some surprises too! She was also very caring and helpful with a senior member of our group, for which we were very grateful. A fantastic experience. Thanks, Garen!"
"Garen was a wonderful tour guide. We did both “The 10 Tastings of Taipei: Street Food” and “A Magical Evening in Taipei: City Tour” back-to-back with Garen. She took us to some real nice places for our food tastings and while walking between places to eat, she shared a lot of interesting stories and facts about Taiwan. We followed that with an evening at the Night Market which was very fascinating with all kinds of food and things to look at and enjoy. Overall, the food tastings and the night market were fun and interesting at the same time, and we really enjoyed both tours. "
"Daphne gave us a great evening walk in Taipei. She provided plenty of information and help before we arrived and was spot on time. She was very informative on all aspects of the walk and was well organised for transport between the venues visited. We highly recommend recommend her as a guide."
"Garen told us a lot about the Ciyoutempel 松山慈祐宮. That made the visit even more spectacular. After that we walked over the Raohe Street Night Market 饒河街觀光夜市, where we tasted a bit of the food, and she told us a lot of good to know information about the different types of food available on the night market."
"We started our trip to Taiwan with Agnes the evening we arrived. It was perfect! First a pepper bun at Rahoe Night Market and beautiful Ciyou Temple followed by cycling through the streets. Agnes explained everything wonderfully and we got the lay of the land quite easily. We wholeheartedly recommend this tour as a start to exploring Taipei!"
"Garen is a source of touristic knowledge with no end. She showed me very interesting aspects of daily life, religion and temples. I enjoyed very much the time with her. One can see easily that she loves what she is doing. "
"I had an 8 hour layover in Taipei and am so glad I was able to squeeze in this night tour with Daphne! She was very responsive ahead of my booking to confirm details and questions I had for the tour and even coordinated transportation for me to and from the airport. The tour itself was very informative and I had the opportunity to try lots of different local foods at the night market. I would recommend this tour for your next visit to Taipei!"
"I highly recommend this tour with Garen. She was easy to communicate with in advance and gave perfect instructions where to find her. We combined a temple and night market and the entire evening was seamless and fun. Thank you so much!"
"This tour with Garen was so much more than a night market/street food tour. She did a flawless job of providing cultural and historical/cultural context on the history of Taiwan and how the night market came to be, on top of describing every food item in the market and what she’d recommend. Garen also made sure to check in regularly if there was anything I wanted to try and if so, helped me order. She even took me to one of her hidden gems to escape the crowds and noise of the market by the river. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to feed their stomach and their mind at the same time when in Taipei"
"10/10 visit of all the highlights. I was in town a short time and Daphne helped me see everything I was interested in. "
