Experience Off the Beaten Track in Taipei with Withlocals

"I took part in the tour with my daughter. We had an incredibly enjoyable time. They took us to local spots that you wouldn't visit on a typical tourist trip, which greatly enhanced our enjoyment of street photography. David was very precise in teaching us about camera settings and shooting techniques. Judy's stories about history and daily life were also very insightful and valuable. We would love to join the tour again."

"Jessica was a great tour guide! We loved our tour through Taipei. The bike tour was an easy ride along the river, which was beautiful, and a fun way to explore Taipei. Included lunch which was authentic and great tasting. Highly recommend Jessica and this tour! "

"As a non photographer, David show me tips and tricks that i xan apply for my every day photos. Judy took us to a few eatery place amd introduced us to delicious local food. A great fun experience. 3 hours went really fast. "

"Garen was an incredible guide who truly brought Taiwan’s culture and history to life for us. Her deep knowledge and passion for the country made us appreciate every moment of the tour. She took us to amazing places and shared insightful recommendations that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Time flew by as she shared so many fascinating details and stories – we were completely immersed! Garen’s warmth and expertise made the day both enriching and enjoyable. Highly recommend her for anyone wanting an authentic and unforgettable experience in Taiwan!"

"Our visit to Taipei was thru a cruise ship which meant limited time onshore and overpriced shore excursions to touristy areas. We wanted to see and experience the “real” Taipei where the locals live and do their daily routine. Judy and David were great! They dove us right into best areas that would have taken us hours to find on our own. Plus the ratio was 2on 2! My wife and I with Judy and David, you can’t beat that for personal service. If you rather be in a group of 25+ people being herded like cattle by a flag waving tour guide then don’t design up for Judy’s tour! "

"Garen is a very knowledgeable, generous, and totally professional guide. She knows a lot about the history of Taiwan and China, and she also knows a lot about taiwanese food. She generously shares what she knows while she tells you great stories, so what she says leaves a deep impression because she is a great story-teller. I enjoyed immensely how she guides and hope to have a chance to have a tour with her again. "

"Jones was great at communication. We probably picked a poor time as 11:00 in Taipei in August super hot! Jones was a champion he coordinated a well choreographed history tour that had us 1/2 the time in air conditioning. We learned a lot about Longshan Temple and local customs. He took us to eat and drink several local delicacies. We finished the tour at a Michelin restaurant that included braised pork, fried tofu and sweet potato leaves. A very scrumptious meal. We walked 15,000 steps that day with travel by MRT and meeting up with Jones. "

"I really enjoyed this multi-faceted tour! We strolled the old streets and visited one of the more ornate and older temples along the river and then pedaled along the scenic river stopping to explore the mangroves along the way. Our ultimate destination was a picturesque and bustling bay teeming with history, food vendors and activity. We arrived in time to enjoy some tasty treats and take in a majestic sunset. Jessica was a great guide and a fun travel companion. I highly recommend this tour!"

"While I was working in Taipei, Jones gave me an interesting tour of his home neighborhood of Taipei, explaining to me so many things about local religion while visiting temples, local food while visiting markets. It was the most interesting 3 hours I had in a long time. Don't hesitate to spend some time with such a great guide."

"I had an amazing time on the photography tour with David and Judy in Taipei, which I booked via 'WithLocals'. We hit both a day and night market, and I learned about street photography in a very relaxed atmosphere and enjoyed some of Taipei's best street food. David and Judy were awesome guides. They knew their stuff and were really fun to hang out with. They helped me to take great shots, and we chatted about the markets and their cultural significance, which added a cool layer to my photos. I left the tour with new photography skills and some amazing shots. If you're into photography and want a unique Taipei experience, definitely book a tour with them on 'WithLocals'. I whole hardly recommend it!"
