Experience the best of
Taipei with Withlocals

"We spent a delightful few hours with Eva as our companion. Visiting everyday and historic markets to see produce and taste new flavours, travelling the MRT and enjoying a charming tea tasting were experiences revealed for us with the kindness and understanding of our local guide. "

"We have done a lot of withlocals tours and this food tour with Garen was one of the best yet. She perfectly balances spacing out food tastings with history lessons and also engaged with us during our random questions about taiwanese life and culture. We are mid 30 year olds from Chicago with moderately high exposure to Asian food (my husband being half Chinese) and she was introducing us to a lot of dishes we had never had before. Everything we ate was delicious, approachable. I couldn't recommend it more. I had such a fun time. "

"I had a marvelous time with Nicholas and enjoyed his fun and exciting personality. Sharing his knowledge, customs, traditional, culture and history as we stopped at many of Taipei’s highlights. I was also fortunate enough to have Nicolas continue on and provide me with an affirmed good food, ending many local a Taiwanese food. Whether you have a few hours or a day or two, I highly recommend my new friend Nicholas to show you and experience Taipei. "

"We had an amazing experience on our walking food tour in Taipei with Garen—truly one of the best guides we’ve had anywhere in the world. Traveling with our 21-month-old can be tricky, but Garen was incredibly kind, patient, and engaging with her, making the experience fun for all of us. She struck the perfect balance between fun and informative—we learned so much about Taipei’s history and political landscape, all in a way that felt engaging and easy to follow. The food was outstanding. We tried such a wide variety of Taiwanese dishes we never would have found on our own, and loved it so much that we returned the next night to track down a few favorites. What really stood out was Garen’s relationship with the vendors—there’s a genuine warmth and familiarity that made the experience feel special and authentic. As frequent food tour travelers, we can confidently say Garen is a rare gem. We’d come back to Taipei just to tour with her again—don’t hesitate to book, you’ll be lucky to spend time with her."

"We love doing the 10 tastings of Taipei street food with June! She worked around my sister’s food constraints and exposed us to new and wonderful treats.. June has a great sense of humor and we loved her company! Definitely do this tour!"

"We did two tours with Nicholas. First, we did highlights and hidden gems of Taipei and the next day we did the city discovery where we went to Shifen and Jifen. Nicholas was friendly and knowledgeable. He explained everything we were seeing and took lots of pictures for us. He showed us some great foods and took us to a tea ceremony as well. Nicholas offered to help us outside of the tour with airport transfers, and anything we might’ve needed, which we felt was above and beyond. We highly recommend Nicolas as your tour guide."

"Jessica was knowledgeable and well versed in everything Raohe had to offer. I’d recommend this tour to anyone coming thru."

"Garen was amazing. Her passion and knowledge was on full display and she knew EVERYONE!! I fully recommend her for any tour and what I really appreciated were her tips and tricks for living in Taiwan (I’m here for a few months for work). I recommend her to anyone and just may have to book her again in the future "

"We had a great experience with Sonia, we had a 7 hour layover in Taipei so decided to visit Taipei for about 3.5 hours. I got in touch with Sonia who planned the visit beautifully. We got to visit what we wanted to and also had a chance to visit a local market and sample some local food. From getting us around efficiently while being cognizant of going slowly since I had my mother with us, Sonia was an epitome of a perfect guide. If I am ever in Taipei I would not hesitate to hit Sonia up for a more detailed tour of the city. Cheers Devashish (David)"

"William guided us through Keelung and Taipei. He is a true professional and helped us understand this complicated country. He was also lots of fun! "
