"Jessica customized the tour to our needs, listened for cues for what we want to accomplish and prefer to see, and was patient and provided just enough context without this being a history lecture. Her car was comfortable and hospitality is world class. I recommend her for anyone visiting Taipei. "
"Agnes was a delight taking us on our food tour. She is highly knowledgable and extremely friendly. We had a lot of fun trying so many different things, but also learnt a lot about Taiwanese food and also about Taiwan. Highly recommend Agnes. "
"Daphne was a wonderful tour guide! We were looking for an easy, stress-free way to see Jiufen, Shifen & Pingxi. We had the best time! We got to see everything we wanted to see, but with an expert showing us the best places and things to try and removing all worry from our trip. I was so glad we went this route instead of wresting with the bus and directions. Everything was customized to us -- to include Daphne taking amazing photos of us letting our lantern fly into the sky. Thank you again, Daphne!"
"We had a fabulous evening with Agnes. She was so engaging, interesting, funny, enthusiastic and friendly. It was the highlight of our stay in Taiwan. Highly recommend!"
"I truly enjoyed this food tour around Taipei, but what truly made the experience special was Agnes herself. She was not only knowledgeable about the food, but also incredibly insightful about Taiwanese culture and politics. You could talk to her about absolutely anything — she made the tour feel warm, engaging, and meaningful.
"
"Eva was an absolutely fantastic tour guide. Perfect blend of historical knowledge, local secret sports, and fun. We learned so much, had a tea tasting that was probably the highlight of our trip getting to meet the tea master and spend time talking to him about his craft. So many things we ate and saw that we never would have on our own. "
"Brillant Tour, excellent guide with lots of details and background!! Anytime!!
Great food!! Brilliant trip for the evening to see how the locals eat and drink!!"
"Very interesting Tour with lots of details ! highly recommended, just what we wanted!
Daphne had a lot of detailed knowledge and told us a lot about the history of the country!!"
"Agnes was great. She showed us part of Taipei that we would not have seen and she give us a very good history reminder of Taipei’s recent history."
