A Great 2 hour walking food tour of the Shinlin night marketplace - Our guide, Steven, was so good. We started out with the best fried chicken, almost as soon as we meet up with Steven our guide. he then took us through all the food vendors and would have waited for us for as much time as we wanted at each vendor. A must to do in Taipei. Thanks Steven!!!!!!!!!!1

Excellence in Shilin. - Very informative and interesting tour of the vibrant Shilin market. Joseph knew his way around the market and helped us gain a better understanding of the history of the locale. Including local cultural and its broader significance to Taiwan life.

Thank you Evelyn! - Evelyn was our tour guide for the night market. She was FANTASTIC! Evelyn is sweet, thorough, patient, funny and real. Our tour was on our first night in Taipe and she made sure to truly give us a lot of info and insight as we walked around the night market. She suggested items to try and her suggestions were delicious. She also taught us that in local Taiwanese "doh shyah" means "many thanks". That was the best tip ever I used it many times through the rest of our trip and every time I did it would make the people we were talking to smile so big. For real, book this tour with Evelyn and tip her because she is the best. She also went above any beyond and helped us afterward find our bus and stayed with us until it came. She did not have to do that, that is the kind of person she is.

Food Heaven - May was an amazing host and was extremely accommodating, even though we’re vegan, to our dietary needs. We had so much fun and laughs and ate so much fresh delicious food. May we really loved your knowledge passion and enthusiasm for beautiful Taiwanese food and people. May knows her stuff. We still talk about the food we ate at the market and look forward to going back. Apologies for no photos. We were too busy eating and forgot to take them 😂😅😆 Soo good 😊 Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
