Great experience! - Last minute booking, and we got lucky! Kevin was our guide. He was knowledgeable, kind, accommodating, filled with great stories, and energetic. We went to the geopark, Jiufen and Shifen, and had an amazing lunch at a seafood market. Would definitely ask for Kevin when we return!

Great private tour at reasonable price! - We had a wonderful day with Berry as our driver and guide. He was friendly and knowledgeable, and planned our tour to best avoid crowds and steep walking paths to maximize our comfort. This private tour was very reasonably priced for the ease of pick up and drop off, personal attention, information received, and sights covered outside of Taipei City.

Experience of a lifetime. - Martin was an Amazing tour guide. He picked us from requested location and was always cautious of time for us. His recommendations are a must try as all of them were bang on. We went to 4 places Geo park, Shifun waterfall, Shifun old street and Jiefun old street. All of the places we had an amazing experience. We end up taking 10hrs of trip as we experienced everything nicely. I would recommend keeping one whole day just for Jiefun market.

We were lucky to have... - We were lucky to have Phyllis as our tour guide. She has over a decade of experience, and is knowledgeable about the whole of Taiwan. She was proactive in providing information not just about our day trip, but also about anything related to Taiwan, using maps and graphics from a tablet. We could have taken an Uber or taxi to Shifen, Jiufen, and Yehliu Geopark for less. But we would have missed a local's perspective. We would have had to deal with the added hassle of arranging and waiting for transportation. And we would not have received the videos and photographs she took, which to us are worth a lot more than the additional cost. At the end of our day, Phyllis was getting ready to pick up her next group from the airport for a 5 day extended trip on the island. Too bad we couldn't be on that trip.

Great day in Taipei! - We had a great time exploring North Taiwan with our guide Kevin! The rocks were very impressive and the views incredible. We also hit up a fantastic waterfall, went to where they launch sky lanterns (which was beautiful and a lot of inexpensive, good food) and went down old Jiofen street which aud some really cool stores and street food as well. Overall great experience and highly recommend.

Great day outside Taipei! - This one-day tour will give you a good overview over the north coast of Taiwan. Our driver Berry made this day a very special one, adapting the itinerary to the changing weather and our personal wishes. He knows the today's and places perfectly, he accompanied us throughout the day, explaining and offering great info to Taiwanese history & geography and to what we saw. He also recommended places for lunch and dinner, helping with the reservation, too. He also drove us to places outside of our planned itinerary, as that had been our wish. Couldn't have wished for a better, more knowledgeable and "agile", friendly and funny person. He actually made our day and we recommend him wholeheartedly for any tour in- and outside Taipei.
