Experience Food tours in the best of
Taipei with Withlocals

"June is amazing!! She led us through a major local market, stopping at places with excellent bites through which we learned about both the food of Taiwan as well as the country's history. June knows many people who run the food spots and selects high quality examples of a range of types of food. Plus she is fun so the time flies by!"

"A 10 rating all the way! One of the best tours we’ve been on. Garen takes you on a journey focused on delicious food, but along the way, you learn about history and culture too. A joy of an experience!"

"Wonderful tour, made one-of-kind by June..... like meeting with a friend having great knowledge and a truly generous and amazing personality. An experience and a person (oh yes, and food!! ) we will never forget. Thank you June!! "

"The tour was great with lots of inside information and historic background. June is a dedicated host with a wealthy knowledge for food and culture. Our tour was well planed and professional guided. Lots of fun to chat and listen to. She is a kind and friendly lady and well respected by many vendors at the market. If only i had more time i would love to round up the experience with a cold beer. Thanks June, keep up the great spirit! The extra food tastings for my partner where greatly appreciated."

"Yi Hsuan (Kate) was a great tour guide. She took us to some really interesting places and we tasted some delicious and different food. Highly recommended. "

"Great introduction to Taiwanese street food. Garen was welcoming and very organised. We not only enjoyed the food tasting but also the in depth advice re food and culture in Taipei. "

"We loved our food tour with Garen. We not only tasted delicious food and learned to eat like a local, but also learned a lot about Taiwanese history and culture from her throughout the tour. The food was excellent and varied, and she spread it out nicely so we didn’t get too full too quickly. We really enjoyed her openness and warm personality. You cannot go wrong if you book with her. "

"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. "

"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!"
