Experience Food Tours in Taipei with Withlocals

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"Garen was an amazing food tour guide! We loved eating our way through Taipei while discussing the history and politics related to the food. We can't wait to come back to Taipei!"

"We made a great choice to select Judy as our guide to introduce us to the many unique aspects of Taipei. We were here on a short layover and Judy gave us the insight and cultural connections through the food dishes and creators that she chose. We’d highly recommend Judy but do warn you - have an empty stomach when you start because you will fill it!"

"Everywhere I travel, I book a food tour. Garen is among the top guides I have had the pleasure of learning from. She’s warm and welcoming, tailoring the time to best fulfill her clients desires. Her passion and knowledge for Taiwan’s history is passed along to all those fortunate enough to spend a part of a day with her. I will forever cherish my experience! "

"We had an amazing time on food tour with Eva! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and took us to incredible local spots we never would have found on our own. The food was delicious, the stories and history of the food as engaging, and the whole experience felt authentic and fun. Highly recommend this tour with Eve if you want to truly taste Taipei! 🌟🍜"

"We had an absolutely wonderful walking food tour with Garen! From the moment we met her, her energy was warm, welcoming, and contagious. She took us to markets and food spots that felt truly local — places we never would have discovered on our own. Every stop came with great stories and insights, making the experience both delicious and informative. Garen was incredibly friendly and polite, and my kids especially enjoyed her company. She was so patient, happy to answer all our questions, and even offered to take photos for our family — which we really appreciated. Communication before and after the tour was excellent; she was responsive, helpful, and full of useful tips. This tour became one of the highlights of our Taiwan trip. If we’re lucky enough to visit Taiwan again, we would absolutely book another tour with Garen without hesitation. Highly recommended!"
