Amazing Sun Moon Lake Private Tour - Phyllis was an excellent guide. English Communication prior to meeting was prompt and clear. We used WhatsApp which made it easy. Phyllis arrived promptly at our hotel for the 7am pickup and her Mercedes van was super clean and comfortable. We had a party of 4 people so it was super spacious for us. The itinerary was adjustable but we just went with Phyllis recommendation of the Sun Moon boat ride, Xuanguang Temple, Ita Thao Pier Plaza, Cable Car, Ci'en Pagoda, then finally the Wenwu Temple. It was full but extremely fun day! We got back to Taipei around 8pm due to heavy traffic. I highly recommend this private tour to anyone, it’s worth every penny.

Great trip to Sun Moon lake - Great day out from Taipei to Sun Moon lake, which was beautiful and we spent around 3 hours there, followed by a visit to a gorgeous temple. We declined the opportunity of a hike. Phyllis was an excellent guide and driver. Long day, with 8 hours of driving.

Long day but worth it!! - We knew this would be a long day, but we really wanted to see the Sun Moon Lake without spending the night there. The trip did indeed take the full 12 hours, but we truly enjoyed the lake and the surrounding area. It was great to get away from Taipei and into the countryside and see somewhere that Taiwanese people like to vacation. Our guide, Phyllis was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly.

Fulfilling day - We started the day at 8:00 am with Danny as our driver/guide. He was punctual but need to look at him in the lobby bcoz he missed the placard with our name. It was a long drive and Danny shared his internet connection with us which made us busy uploading our pictures. Sun moon lake is an exciting experience.
