A great day tour - The tour company was super easy to do business with. I originally scheduled a Sunday tour, but had to adjust to Friday given scheduling changes on my end before leaving for Taiwan. They were able to accommodate and additionally willing/able to add a requested stop for us. On the day of the tour, James was our guide. Showed up at our hotel right on time. James also confirmed via WhatsApp the day before. James was a great guide. He had a ton of fun facts to share with us. We enjoyed our conversations with James throughout the day. We learned a lot about the culture and the locations we visited in our day together. We had a lot of ground to cover and James made sure we used our time wisely. That said, we never felt cheated on time spent at any location. His knowledge and recommendations throughout the day were excellent. We had a few food places we wanted to try based on research done prior to the trip. James knew where to find them all. We'll be sure to find James if we return to Taipei!

Jiufen and Shifen Private Day Tour with English-Speaking Guide - In June 2024, the two of us took the Discover Taiwanese Charms: Jiufen and Shifen Private Day Tour with a tour guide named Mr James Chen. He guided us along the way by providing detailed explanations and history of the places in Jiufen and Shifen. He also took us to a local restaurant so we could taste authentic local food. Considering our limited time, we asked if he could also take us to the 101 tower building and he was happy to take us. He works professionally, kindly and attentively. We recommend that if you go to Taipe, Mr James Chen is the right person to take you on your trip.

Amazing Day to Juifen and Pingxi with Thomas Han - We had an incredible day seeing the hidden parts of Taipei/Taiwan with our guide Thomas Han. He is so full of energy and so knowledgeable-he explained things to us and got us to important landmarks that you really could not get to on your own with public transportation. Most importantly he explained everything to us and gave us the background to all of the places we visited. We drive with him for 8 hours up into the mountains where these sites were located and he was a very careful and safe driver.
Thomas made our day by taking us to hidden spots we knew nothing about!!
I highly recommend requesting his services when you book this tour!!

Thanks James - My wife and I spent an amazing day with our tour guide James. We visited all of the waterfalls and parks as well as released a lantern and had a wonderful lunch in Shifen. We ended the day in Jiufen. I cant say enough great things about this day. Next time we will go again and spend a half day just in Jiufen as there is so much to see.

Great day outside Taiwan - We had a great experience, discovering the seaside area around Taipei. We made a trip first to the Golden Waterfall and then to Jiufen and Pingxi, living for 9 hours the real Taiwan. Definitely something to be repeated!
