Experience tomorrow the best of
Taipei with Withlocals

"My husband and I travel extensively and have experienced all levels of tour guides and we both agreed that Garen is one of the best. She was engaging, knowledgeable, and prepared in every possible way…from answering our political questions about Taiwan’s history to giving us alcohol wipes before we ate. We asked her for recommendations on where to buy the most random things and she was literally texting me places days after we finished our tour. We plan to return to Taiwan in the near future and we will definitely book a tour with Garen again."

"Agnes is an outstanding host. Full of knowledge about Taiwan, Taipei, and the history. She really shows endless passion for her city and her country. She showed me some wonderful places, besides the normal tourist tracks, without excluding the must sees. And she was flexible to even fulfill special wishes. Full recommendation!"

"Totally enjoyed our evening with June. More than just sharing her knowledge of food (& tea), she shared her knowledge of Taiwan’s history. I enjoyed that as much as the flavors she shared with us.. June is also truly a “with local”, several of the places had long lines of customers, June knew the owners and we were served immediately. Perfect ending to the night was a shaved ice with multiple toppings. Yumm. Xie Xie June!"

"June was a fantastic guide. We didn’t get to eat the food usually highlighted in Taiwan (like beef noodle soup), but I appreciate her approach because we were able to try food from places that tourists would not think to visit - like a morning wet market. She was also attuned to our needs and was very helpful in giving recommendations. Enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend. "

"Garen was fabulous. We did a food tour but she mixed in a lot of interesting history, culture and commentary on modern Taiwan and it's people. I am also gluten free, which she accomodated as best she could (not easy in Taiwan), even dropping additional things off to one of the restaurants to prepare for me."

"Nicholas was very accommodating, tailoring our visit to our requirements and sharing some of his hidden gems. I would recommend Nicholas to others looking to explore Taipei and surrounding areas"

"Garen is knowledgeable, fun & knows her Taiwanese food. She shared the culture and history of Taiwan and she took us to a Daoist temple. She showed us how to pray. She showed us how to get answers to questions. She explained the offerings. Garen was fun to hang with and was clearly respected in the neighborhood. "

"Garen was a very enjoyable guides. She knew her stuff! Well worth the price and time, provided a great window into Taipei on my long layover"

"I recently took a tour in Taipei with my mother, and our guide Garen was absolutely fantastic! She was full of energy from start to finish and kept us engaged and informed throughout the entire experience without ever losing pace. What impressed me most was how adaptable and quick-thinking Garen was - she adjusted to our interests and pace. Her knowledge of Taiwanese culture and history gave us insightful understanding that we never would have gained on our own. Garen was incredibly kind and patient with us, making the experience enjoyable and stress-free. If you're looking for a local guide who can give you the real flavour of Taipei, I would highly recommend her without hesitation. This tour made our trip truly memorable! Thank you Garen :-) "

"Agnes was the perfect guide for our short stay in Taipei. She prepared us well with thoughtful advice, assessed our interests and flexibly tailored our tour accordingly. Her historical and cultural insights gave us an excellent perspective from which to interpret and explore the city with her - and the confidence to explore on our own subsequently. We felt very well taken care and greatly enjoyed her company."
