"We met Garen the first evening of our stay and had a great time hearing about the country's people, culture and of course, the variety of Taiwanese food. Garen is a knowledgeable person, funny and a lovely host. Whereever we went, people smiled and were happy to see her. Amazing, how many kinds of foods we had the chance to taste and learn about.
We 100% recommend Garen as your guide!"
"My husband and I had a wonderful 3 hours with Garen. She was great at communicating with us from the time I booked the tour (around 6 months prior) to the day of the tour.
Garen had excellent local knowledge of ingredients, places with the most authentic flavours, as well as the history of Taiwan.
She gave us lots of tips for getting around Taipei and how to find and order the best food.
Thank you for a wonderful time! "
"Judy was full of positive energy and showed us hidden gems for us vegetarians. We thoroughly enjoyed her company and it was very nuce to have guide like her show us around. She catered to what we like and prefer, so was very flexible and itinerary was fluid as we stopped at places we wanted at the night market. Overall, she was very much great guide if you are new and looking for basics of taiwanese cuisine"
"My husband and I recently were hosted on a food tour with June. This was easily one of our favourite experiences in Taipei. June is a local of the area, and has great relationships with the business owners, furthermore, June has incredible knowledge around Taiwan and we enjoyed chatting to her about history and culture (in addition to the delicious food she had us enjoy!) Thank you June for making our trip to Taipei so memorable! "
"If you're looking for a tour of Taipei, go with June. Incredible personable, knowledgeable, and you're going to eat some incredible food.
Couldn't have asked for a better guide than June and I truly hope you book with her"
"We only had 24 hours in Taipei… and are so glad we booked this tour with Garen! We were able to see and taste so much in such a small amount of time. We highly recommend booking with Garen!! Happy new year!"
"We had such a great time on this tour! We really enjoyed seeing all the local hidden gems and learning all about Taipei through its cuisine. Garen was kind and knowledgeable as well as willing to customize what we ate or saw. 10/10 recommend! "
"I’ve done plenty of food tours around the world, but this one with Garen is easily one of the best. Communication was top-notch — Garen was messaging with me weeks in advance via WhatsApp and kept giving recommendations even after our tour. The tour itself felt very local, with many of the stall owners along Dongmen market smiling and saying hello to us and Garen. The food selection was delicious with a good variety of local meat, fruit, and vegetable dishes. On top of all of this, Garen talked about the history of Taiwan, its people, and food culture which made the tour an immersive experience. Highly recommend doing this tour, especially on your first day."
"As a first-time visitor to Taipei who wanted to experience the street food scene but didn’t know where to start, June was a dream come true. In just three hours we were able to try a wide range of street food, visit one of the remaining wet markets within Taipei, and sample desserts and teas, all while learning important details about the history of Taiwan, both generally and in relation to the food we were eating. But beyond that, we just had a good time with June. She has a delightful sense of humor and inexhaustible energy. Without her leading the way, we never would have been able to navigate our way to these new experiences. I strongly recommend her tour. Thank you June!"
"Wonderful time with June discovering the delicious food of Taiwan! June is such a warm, knowledgeable guide. We had so much fun walking around the Saturday morning market with June, buying fruit and sampling local bites! Enjoyed the best fishball soup ever, interesting tea tasting, and so much more, with historical and cultural insights from June. She also provided valuable information and assistance about questions I had. So happy to have met June! "
