Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Judy and David made this an absolutely unforgettable experience! As someone new to street photography, I couldn't have asked for better guides and teachers. They were patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing their craft — by the end of the tour, I felt like I had a whole new way of seeing the world through a lens. What really set this tour apart was exploring the historic neighborhoods of Taipei that I never would have discovered on my own. These hidden gems are so easy to overlook as a visitor, and having Judy and David lead the way made the experience feel authentic and deeply personal. If you're looking for a tour that combines culture, history, and a hands-on creative skill, look no further. This is a must-do in Taipei. I left with beautiful photos, a newfound love for street photography, and memories I'll treasure for years to come. Thank you so much, Judy and David — you truly went above and beyond!"
"I'm so glad I was able to do this photo tour with Judie and David!! they were so kind and attentive. We had a wonderful time together, and the tour was fantastic. I wouldn't necessarily have dared to take certain photos without them, so I'm really happy. David taught me and helped me develop my photography skills, while Judie shared some traditions and stories about Taipei and Taiwanese people. It was great, and I highly recommend it! Thanks again to you both!"
"What a treat it was to do the Taipei street photography walking tour with Judy and David. I had gotten a new camera and thought it would be a fun and different way to explore Taipei sights— and it was. I especially enjoyed the nooks and crannies of the older section of Taipei and the food market. Also thanks for the treat of fish ball soup. Comply unexpected and appreciated."
"Jessica was a great tour guide. We will do another tour with her on our next visit to Taiwan."
"Daphne is a very friendly and kind guide. She speaks excellent English, making it easy to understand her. During the day trip, she provides a wealth of information and takes you to beautiful photo opportunities. She is also attentive to the participants and even picked up the car when the return walk was too difficult for me. We had a fantastic and interesting day trip thanks to Daphne and can highly recommend her. Daphne is a very friendly and kind guide. She speaks excellent English, making it easy to understand her.

"Thank you to the both of you. We enjoyed the photography tour. We saw unique locations that we wouldn’t have found by ourselves. We also learned a little history and culture along the way. We recommend this tour! If you want a glimpse of the typical life in Taipei. 😀"
"Jessica is a great guide to take a beautiful cycling tour with! Very professional and fun to be with and you get a lot of information and see many nice places!"
"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. "
