Amazing!
"Garen was an amazing host to Taipei. She had the best food spots, great tips to staying and playing in Taipei and offered the perfect amount of conversation and history. Garen’s food tour is a definite book when coming to Taipei. "
"We had an amazing food tour with June in Taipei! She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and full of insider tips that made the experience so special. The food she introduced us to was absolutely delicious — from hidden local gems to must-try street snacks. June’s passion for Taipei’s food and culture really shone through, and we learned so much while having a great time. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants an authentic and fun taste of Taipei!"
"Jessica is a great tour guide with huge experience and knowledge about her country and the sightseeing highlights. She is very friendly and fun. We had an excellent time with her and enjoyed every minute."
"We are a young couple who booked this tour with June, because we love to combine our favorite things - travelling and getting to know about new places and enjoying local food!
And what should we say - we were totally suprised how good it was. It was only the three of us, walking around with June telling us a lot about Taiwan and the different food we got to try. We are on our last days travelling around Taiwan and we definitely would recommend doing this tour. We would never had been able to discover the places/dishes by our own or by reading recommendations and blogs. You can let June beforehand about your food preferences and even though we do not like pork so much, she introduced us to local delicious pork dishes that we liked a lot!
Big thanks to you again!"
"We had a great time with Garen. She customised the tour to what we wanted and we learnt a lot about Taiwanese cuisine and culture. Garen has deep knowledge about Taiwans history and we had fun learning while tasting food. We recommend Garen :) "
"I thoroughly enjoyed exploring Taipei sights with Daphne. I found her knowledgeable and enjoyable. I learned and saw places and experiences I would have missed on my own. I especially enjoyed our coffee stop at Formosa cafe and learning about Taiwan’s coffee industry."
"The tour was really well prepared. Garen arranged everything perfectly, the food was lovely and every stop was paired with interesting stories and facts about Taiwan, the locals and of course the food. Definitely a good recommendation!"
"We had such a great food tour experience with Garen! We had dishes we would not had tried exploring on our own & even learned how to order food in the local restaurants. She explained details behind each dish and shared the history of the local vendors. We also learned about Taiwan's history and ended the tour with a full belly. What a great cultural and gastronomic experience!"
"We were very lucky to have Eva as our guide in Taipei. She was excellent – highly knowledgeable and able to adjust the route and content easily to our interests. Her English is very good, and her friendly, open personality made it a real pleasure to spend time with her.
Eva went far beyond expectations, sharing additional tips for the rest of our trip and answering our questions even after the tour. She provided so much useful information and made our experience in Taipei truly special.
We sincerely thank her for her kindness and professionalism – we couldn’t have found a better guide!"
