Experience the best of
Taipei with Withlocals

"Judy and David made this an absolutely unforgettable experience! As someone new to street photography, I couldn't have asked for better guides and teachers. They were patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing their craft — by the end of the tour, I felt like I had a whole new way of seeing the world through a lens. What really set this tour apart was exploring the historic neighborhoods of Taipei that I never would have discovered on my own. These hidden gems are so easy to overlook as a visitor, and having Judy and David lead the way made the experience feel authentic and deeply personal. If you're looking for a tour that combines culture, history, and a hands-on creative skill, look no further. This is a must-do in Taipei. I left with beautiful photos, a newfound love for street photography, and memories I'll treasure for years to come. Thank you so much, Judy and David — you truly went above and beyond!"

"June was a phenomenal guide. In the "10 tastings of Taipei" tour, we were able to try dumplings, potstickers, classic Hakka comfort food, Taiwanese teas, scallion pancakes, a variety of fried foods, bah-uân, pineapple cakes, and other yummy goods. In addition to "VIP access" to some hot local spots, each food was accompanied with a historical or cultural anecdote. We learned so much! As someone who not only loves food, but also the story surrounding it, I found June to be an incredible host. We would recommend her to anyone! Thank you June!"

"I have travelled many places in this wonderful world. I have had the great fortune to meet many tour guides. You cannot find a private tour guide that is more caring, intelligent, knowledgeable and kind than Daphne. She is a 5 star guide. If you want to have a private tour that takes you to places that you won’t find on a group tour. If you like to laugh and share stories about what you find interesting, choose Daphne. When we go back to Taiwan, we will hire her again. "

"I'm so glad I was able to do this photo tour with Judie and David!! they were so kind and attentive. We had a wonderful time together, and the tour was fantastic. I wouldn't necessarily have dared to take certain photos without them, so I'm really happy. David taught me and helped me develop my photography skills, while Judie shared some traditions and stories about Taipei and Taiwanese people. It was great, and I highly recommend it! Thanks again to you both!"

"My husband and I are so happy we decided to book the 3 hour top 10 tastings of Taipei tour with Garen- it was the highlight of our stay. Garen took us to so many amazing food stops and we were able to try both foods I was looking forward to trying and ones that I would never have known to try (even with lots of research). She is warm, friendly, informative and passionate about Taiwan. We learned so much (and much more than the typical free walking tours we do in our travels). It was definitely worth the price. She also took great pictures of us along the way and answered all of our questions. We loved how the tour was tailored to what we were interested in and had not tried yet. If in doubt, definitely book this!"

"If you’re heading to Taipei, you absolutely have to book a tour with June. She took us through the Dongmen neighborhood, pairing incredible local food with fascinating historical facts about the city. Her energy is infectious and her knowledge of the city and country is impressive. For a real-deal Taiwanese experience that feels like exploring with a friend, June is the best guide you could ask for."

"June was absolutely brilliant, she was knowledgeable, interesting and a really lovely person. I highly recommend booking with her for a fantastic Taipei tour."

"William was professional, knowledgeable and very prepared. Our tour was well planned and the logistics were seamlessly executed. I would highly recommend William and would refer him to any friends visiting Taipei. "

"We did have a fantastic tour in Taipei, Thnks Eva! "

"We had an amazing time with Sonia on our Taipei Street Food tour. Sonia was engaging, informative, and helpful, making sure we got to try things we wanted and that everything ran smoothly. If you're thinking of booking this tour, I'd highly recommend doing it early in your visit, and I'd definitely recommend going with Sonia. She was really knowledgeable and is well travelled, so meeting her made the experience even better. She also went above and beyond to give us tips for things to do on our trip and to help with some planning for the lantern festival."
