Great tour when in Taipei - My husband, Jeff and I thoroughly enjoyed Garen's tour. It was pouring rain all day and she managed to give us the best tour without getting soaking wet! I was amazed! I would give her a 20 out of 10 if possible. Her knowledge and passion about the history of Taipei, ability to maneuver through the rain and cater to our likes and needs was orchestrated with perfection! I highly recommend her for any tour. We would have booked her again if we had more time. Thank you Garen!

Guided Walking Tour of Taipei City - We did a 3-hour tour with Chia-chien Jessica and we are so glad that we did! She took us around to some city highlights that we never would have found on our own and she explained the history of Taiwan as well as some of the culture and traditions in a way that was super engaging and interesting. We also got to take public transit and ride bikes! She was fantastic! If you are spending a few days in Taipei, this would be a great way to learn more about how to easily get around the city.

Perfect Intro To Taipei - This was my first trip to Taipei and I didn't have a lot of background knowledge about the city or strong feelings about where to go. I just wanted to maximize the little time that I had to familiarize myself with what makes Taipei so unique. Daphne delivered! She was the perfect guide; well-informed, approachable and friendly. She showed me around several areas of the city where we experienced and discussed the highlights of the city's markets, culture, history and food scene. The tour was informative without being dull and structured enough to maximize the variety of experiences while still leaving plenty of flexibility to accommodate my interests on the fly. Highly recommend!

Great way to start a trip to Taipei - Daphne was wonderful and communicated and showed us so many interesting parts of the city. We loved getting to know the history. Daphne was wonderful about sneaking in a chance for tea tasting. And afterwards she sent some great suggestions for hikes and day trips.

Brilliant city tour - We had the most wonderful time with Daphne in Taipei. She went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable adventure. Her knowledge and sense of humour gave us the best platform to thoroughly enjoy Taipei but Daphne far exceeded that by giving us recommendations for the rest of our trip as well. I could not recommend an excursion with Daphne more to make sure that you see all the sights across the city sprawl.

A Wonderful Tour by a True Insider - Agnes was an incredible tour guide. So knowledgeable about everything about Taiwan. An "8th generation" Taiwanese, her knowledge was unmatched. She showed us amazing architecture and an awesome Daoist temple. Learned about the "2-28 incident," which we hadn't heard of before. And she took us to an amazing cafe for pineapple cake. She was a delight and we would definitely book her again.

Worthwhile experience - I booked a tour with Jessica for my Mom, my three aunts, and myself and we were beyond impressed! Jessica conducted the tour at a leisurely pace which is a very good thing since my Mom, although still very mobile at 78, doesn't enjoy doing things at a fast pace anymore. Jessica truly made the experience worthwhile and it was very interesting to know more about Taiwan through her eyes. My mom and aunties were still raving about how well Jessica made the experience memorable for us! Thank you, Jessica! Thank you, WithLocals!

Day One with Garen - Garen was our guide this morning and she was fabulous. She has a wealth of information regarding the history of Taiwan. It was exactly what we needed on our first day in Taipei.
