Great experience with attentive guide - We are veterans of bike tours around the world and this was one of the best both in terms of the knowledge and customer care of our guide, Alex. We covered lots of ground hitting all the areas we wanted to see on flat terrain. Alex was very attentive and focused on our main areas of interest. Bikes were adequate for our needs. Great experience.

Taipei via Bike - I had an incredible experience on the Taipei Bike Tour with Mike as our guide. From start to finish, Mike went above and beyond to ensure the 4-hour tour was seamless and enjoyable for all 8 participants. The bikes were of exceptional quality—lightweight, smooth, and clearly well-maintained, which made navigating the city a breeze.
The tour itself was a perfect mix of culture, history, and local flavors. We started with a delicious traditional Taiwanese breakfast of a Chinese donut paired with sweet soy milk, which set the tone for the rest of the morning. Our first stop was the iconic Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, where Mike shared fascinating historical insights. From there, we visited a beautifully vibrant Daoist temple, where he explained the rituals and significance of the site. We then biked through the charming Dihua Street, soaking in the lively atmosphere and rich heritage of the area.
What stood out most was Mike’s care and attentiveness to the group. He ensured everyone stayed hydrated, adjusted the pace when needed, and made sure we all felt safe navigating the streets. His passion for Taipei and its culture was evident, and it made the tour feel truly special.
If you’re looking for a unique and memorable way to experience Taipei, I can’t recommend this tour—and Mike—enough. It’s a five-star experience that I’ll remember fondly!

Best use of a half day in Taipei - Best tour I have done here on the island. You cover so much area and history in just a half day. If you plan this at the beginning of your trip, you will have ideas of what you want to come back and visit.
Mike really had great neutral historical and a broad perspective on the history of Taiwan and the complex relationship it’s had historically with Mainland China and Japan.
You will not be disappointed in this tour.

Snapshot of Taiwan on wheels! - I thought this was a fantastic way to get a snapshot of Taipei and learn about culture, history, cityscapes, important buildings and Taiwanese ways of life. Our guide Nick was excellent and very interested in sharing information, was safe in navigating our way through the streets and ensured our experience was culturally engaging, relevant to our needs/interests and most importantly, fun!
