If you looking for a city that is vibrant and energetic 24/7 then you've come to the right place. If you think that New York is a city that never sleeps then you have not visited Taipei. When I am free you can find me on one of the numerous hiking trails in the city and after a good hike you can find me lazying on the beach. I call Taipei home cause I'm as familiar with every nook and cranny as if it was my house, so whatever you have planned on your itinerary, I have got you covered. If you are looking for someone to share the culture and customs of the city and introduce you to great food/drinks, then I would love to make your experience a memorable one.

We had an unforgettable evening with Alice as our tour guide for the Raohe Night Market / street food tour. Alice was very personable and accommodating to our requests during the tour. It was a great way to learn about the food and culture of Taipei. The night market was lively with a variety of food options; we had scallion pancakes, pineapple cake, sweet potato balls, and other local delicacies. We look forward to returning to the city.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Are experiences the same as tours?

No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Will I be able to speak to my host beforehand?

Yes. After we match you with your host, we’ll introduce you so you can chat about the plan and make any tweaks before the day.

How do you match me with a host?

We ask a few questions. After you book, you’ll fill out a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll then match you with the best local host to design your experience.

Can I request specific places or types of stops?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Can I mix different themes in one experience?

Yes! You can blend food, culture, history, neighborhoods, or even a bit of nightlife if time allows. Just share your interests in the questionnaire, and your host will build the day around them.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.

Can I cancel if my plans change?

Yes. You can cancel for free up to 24 hours before your experience date—no questions asked.
