Hi there! I'm Winnie, a local host in the fantastic city of Taipei. This city has so much to offer, from its rich culture and history to its museums full of artifacts from thousands of years ago, not to mention its friendly people and unforgettable food experiences. And let's not forget the excellent metro system that makes getting around a breeze. When I'm not exploring the local museums, I love visiting the seaport city and checking out the open-air markets. And, of course, I can never get enough of the delicious food here in Taipei. So whether you're interested in learning about the city's history and culture or just looking for some fun and food, I'm your gal! I'm an expert when it comes to finding exciting attractions and great open-air markets, and I can't wait to show you the best of Taipei.

Winnie is a real pro! She knows her stuff. We packed in so much in our half day tour. She showed us so much, and we really learned a lot about the history and the culture. She set us up to be able to use the metro throughout our trip, which I don't think we would have ventured into without her guidance. Five Stars! Would definitely recommend.

Awesome tour. We saw several important sites tailored to our interests. Our tour guide Winnie was knowledgeable and provided great information about everything we saw. She also took a number of great pictures for us.

Winnie was very knowledgeable and chose 3 landmarks to visit during my short stay to explain how Buddhism got established in Taiwan and how Chiang Kai Shek came over to Taiwan as Mao and communism was taking root in mainland China. She had a wealth of information to share and explained some of the current political views developed.

I only had about 5 hours of layover in Taipei but Winnie was amazing and managed to bring me to 3 places. It was a very short stay but worthwhile.
