A must do tour to start your trip - It's essential to take a tour like this to familiarise yourself with the Night Market, and Roro, our guide, was very enthusiastic and a great person to lead the tour. There was a mix of food, from high end, to more traditional, pushing you to eat something you might not have tried before. The stinky tofu was edible, but possibly not something I'd rush to have again! The food we had in Wang's Broth was disappointing, but that's not the fault of the tour - I would have gone there anyway. In the end, they showed us a good variety, so it likely there will be food you don't like, as much as there will be food you do like. The bao was delicious and the spring onion pancakes were surprisingly morish for something so simple. I would not say these night markets are the best Taipei has to offer, but if it was not for this, I'm not sure I would have had the confidence to explore other markets on my own, so doing this on the first night is a MUST! The following night I went to Raohe, and I would highly recommend it. Much busier, but with the knowledge this tour gave me under my belt, I was hustling around like a pro. Longshan temple is very impressive, so ensure you take a look round either before or after the tour.

Delicious - We had a really great, interesting and above all delicious evening. Our guide Taile showed us lots of great dishes, always told us a bit of background story and did a short 7-Eleven tour regarding local products 😅 (which I would like for each country) I can recommend the tour to anyone. Nobody went home hungry.

Amazing walking food tour - Our guide was amazing, very knowledgeable as we learned not only about food but about culture, history, what triggered changes on their eating habits... I highly recommend it.

Fantastic Walking food tour - This food tour was a highlight of our weeklong stay in Taipei. We tried a cross-section of new food that we would never have known to order at the street market by ourselves. All the food was very palatable and most of it was delicious! Nothing too crazy but still unique and new to most in the group. Manu gave us insight into local Taiwanese life and how they like to share food together.

A fun evening in Taipei - A good night out. Chester was a great guide. You get what you pay for and I would have been willing to pay a bit more and get to taste some of the more upmarket street food.

Okay experience, but not great - Hazel, our guide, tried… but the group was too large for a good Night Market experience. Also, the samples fluctuated from savory to sweet back to savory. Some of the samples weren’t that appealing. The best was the soup dumplings. Im sorry, but my expectation was higher.
