"Agnes is an outstanding host. Full of knowledge about Taiwan, Taipei, and the history. She really shows endless passion for her city and her country.
She showed me some wonderful places, besides the normal tourist tracks, without excluding the must sees. And she was flexible to even fulfill special wishes.
Full recommendation!"
"This tour kick started our week long stay in Taiwan. Garen couldn’t have been a friendlier, FUN, and informative guide. She knows the history of Taiwan and makes it so Interesting and engaging! She hit the highlights as well as many hidden gems. She took us to the best places for Taiwanese delicacies and shopping. Garen is the type of person you want to have as a lifelong friend. Our son is working in Taipei this summer and she gave us every reassurances that he would be happy and safe."
"Nicholas was very accommodating, tailoring our visit to our requirements and sharing some of his hidden gems.
I would recommend Nicholas to others looking to explore Taipei and surrounding areas"
"I was so pleased with my tour with Garen! Actually - two of them! The first was a 3 hour food tour which was informative, diverse and fun. Garen is welcomed everywhere she goes and her explanation of the cultural influences on each selection ( total 8-10) and the origin and preparation of each tasting was so interesting. Even had a lesson on how to order in Chinese restaurant when you don’t speak Chinese.
The second tour was a 5 hour historical tour. Again, Garen showed an excellent sensitivity and insight into the history of Taipei: cultural, historical and religious and how they are combined.
Garen invited and could answer any question at all.
Thoughtful; solicitous; perfect English.
I felt lucky to have found her. Cannot recommend her highly enough.
Plus: Garen loves and is so very proud of Taiwan and Taipei.

"Agnes was the perfect guide for our short stay in Taipei. She prepared us well with thoughtful advice, assessed our interests and flexibly tailored our tour accordingly. Her historical and cultural insights gave us an excellent perspective from which to interpret and explore the city with her - and the confidence to explore on our own subsequently. We felt very well taken care and greatly enjoyed her company."
"We came to this evening tour with varying levels of knowledge of Taiwanese history and culture. Our wonderful guide Garen helped us level set, first providing a general history of the country, city and the neighborhood we were in. We got to visit the temple around which the night market grew, then plunged into the market itself. Garen showed us the ropes and helped us find what we were interested in and some surprises too! She was also very caring and helpful with a senior member of our group, for which we were very grateful. A fantastic experience. Thanks, Garen!"
"I had an amazing time with Garen! She is very knowledgeable and very sincere and I enjoyed talking to her about Taipei's history and her own personal take on world events. She showed me places that I wouldn't have visited by myself and took amazing pictures of me. She also helped me buy some medicine for my husband. If you have a chance, book a tour with Garen, you won't regret it."
