"We absolutely loved our customized tour with Tai-Yun! We’ve both been to Taiwan before but wanted to learn more about the recent political history as well get a local’s point of view on food and culture. Tai-Yun was super helpful and communicative in the planning stage. We were lucky to be out and about on a beautiful day and Tai-Yun made the tour super fun and engaging, and of course very informative. We really enjoyed her passion, creativity, and commitment. Highly recommend! "
"Garen took us on a walking tour filled with local spots while giving us an interesting history of Taiwan. We learned so much, enjoyed some street food (she’s a foodie) & had a fun time. I’d request her again!"
"This was my husband and my first time to Taipei, Nicolas was a fun tour guide. I'm glad we did this tour - it introduced us to all of the "touristy" sites and activities with the ease of Nicolas providing transportation. Nicolas reached out right after booking and asked if we needed additional assistance when in Taipei which was appreciated (not needed but nice he asked). He also was able to pick us up at our AirBNB. "
"With only a couple of days in Taipei our tour with Garen was an excellent use of time and the highlight of our time in the city. We booked a food tour but Garen did a great job of weaving in the history and culture of the city which made it even better. We can’t recommend Garen enough and can’t wait for our next visit to Taipei! "
"Daphne was an excellent tour guide and made our time in Taipei truly enjoyable. She did a wonderful job highlighting key sights while offering thoughtful, clear explanations—especially around Taiwan’s political history, which added important depth and context to what we were seeing. The tour was well paced, informative, and engaging. Highly recommended."
"We had a wonderful afternoon with Sonia, who was so welcoming and a great host. Loved our walk around Yongkang, and there was sooo much to eat and drink. Make sure you don't eat beforehand, you won't need to. All the dishes were really interesting and delicious, and Sonia was very attentive about our dietary concerns, too. Highly recommend you trying this tour."
"Garen rocks! She was perfect. Worked with us on my son’s food allergy. Gave us a great history lesson and meaning to what we saw and ate. Perfect amount of food and unique flavors we would have not gotten on our own. I don’t give this rating lightly, but it was really great. And gave us help on the rest of our trip. "
"We only had a small few hours in Taiwan but June really brought Taipei to life for us for the few hours we had. She was so courteous and friendly and genuinely interested in us as well as her city. We tried all sorts of new and interesting things, various dumplings, fishballs and pineapple cakes! It is a great introduction to the city or even like us when you only have a tiny time to work with. We never would have experienced 1/20th of the things we did without June. "
"We really appreciated how June used explanations about the rich history of Taiwan to help us better understand it's vast food culture. Her knowledge of the city is clear and her relationships with the local vendors we met proved she is an insider in the neighborhood. It wasn't all about the food (although the food was amazing as well) but a way for us to better understand the history and culture of Taiwan so we could enjoy the rest of our time in Taipei. It goes without saying that June was a kind and caring host who treated us like friends. Highly recommended!"
"June was an amazing guide who was not only able to provide great sampling of the local cuisines but also introduce you to the neighborhood. Definitely setup a tour with her in the morning to check out the local wet market. This was the highlight of my trip! Thanks so much!!"
