Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We loved our food tour with Garen! All of the food we tried was excellent and Garen was a fantastic guide, extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Taiwan. We learned so much about Taiwanese food, culture and history throughout the three hour tour. A truly memorable experience and one of the highlights of our time in Taipei. Thank you Garen for an amazing tour!"
"We loved our food tour with June, we tried a varied range of food from different outlets. June had great knowledge of all aspects of Taipei and we learnt a huge amount about the culture and history throughout our tour. I highly recommend."
"Judy was an excellent guide, sharing her favorite places with us as well as personal stories and Taipei history. About 2/3 through the tour, a heavy rain storm hit and Judy was happy to persevere with the tour of the outdoor night market despite us all getting thoroughly soaked. We both enjoyed her company very much and recommend her as a guide and hope to see her again on future visits to Taiwan."
"Garen is a great guide. Full of energy, very well informed and fun to depend time. We thoroughly enjoyed the food tour with her. She is a born teacher and was able to make the intricacies of Taiwan food understandable. She was completely prepared with all that we needed for a wonderful morning."

"Garen is probably the best guide we've ever had. She not only showed us the food of Taiwan, but she gave a fantastic cultural lesson about this remarkable place. She was a delight from start to finish, dealt with my dietary restriction, and I can't recommend her enough. "
"We couldn't have had a better start for our trip to Taiwan. June is the perfect host, we learned not only so much about food and its origins but also about the families who prepare and sell it. It was like spending time with friends. Thank you so much June for spending your time with us on the food market and sharing your insights on food, tradition and the history of Taiwan."
"Day 2 into our trip and we had booked in a food tour with Garen who is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Instantly it felt like a friend showing us around which is not surprising given our co tact with her before arriving in Taiwan . She helped with local tips and tricks, took us through the markets and giving us a taste of the very best food while taking us to some local cafes/restaurants. We tried a lot of amazing food and even tried a few new things. Highly recommend booking with Garen! "
"So my family and I were in town for a few days and booked both the 10 tastings of Taipei along with the five hour highlights of Taipei. Both were excellent. Garen is highly knowledgeable about the history of Taiwan. She showed us all around the city and the various foods that make Taipei. Highly recommend."
"Garen is an inspiring whirlwind of energy and fascinating insights that makes the food tour in Taipei an absolute pleasure. The food is of course tremendously delicious, however Garen makes it about so much more by weaving in truly rich context about the origins of many of the items and how it all relates to Taiwan’s history. As a result, we learned much more in these few hours than we did on many of the equivalent tours we have been lucky to enjoy in other Asian countries. Garen was also particularly considerate in ensuring the tour, conversation and pace was adapted to my son’s interests. All in all, highly recommend Garen as a food tour guide in Taipei."
"Eva was incredibly nice. She was very accommodating with what we ate since it was just me and I couldn’t possibly eat all the food she had to offer! She was extremely knowledgeable of the local history and Taiwan overall. Eva is heavily involved with the Taiwan community and her wealth of knowledge derives from how much she loves her country. I am definitely going to reach out to Eva again as she also offers tours around Taiwan! Thanks so much Eva!"
