Local guides to lead the way

Taipei is a city with several distinct personalities: it’s simultaneously a 21st-century entertainment hub, a historic and cultural gem, and a peaceful oasis of forested landscapes at the doorstep of the modern city. With a local insider to lead your Taipei walking tour, you’ll get to experience the full picture. A Taipei culture walking tour with City Unscripted shows you the Taiwanese capital far beyond your guidebook. Our local guides, handpicked for their passion, take you on walking tours that highlight the best of the hometown, from tranquil temples to the top street food stalls.

A walk between worlds

At just three centuries old, Taipei is one of the youngest cities in Asia. At first glance, its sprawling cityscape and towering skyscrapers paint the picture of a modern marvel. But on a walking tour of Taipei, you’ll uncover snapshots of tangible history embedded in the fabric of the city. Stroll along streets hiding centuries-old Taoist temples, Japanese-era mansions and old merchant villas on a walking tour in Taipei. Between the old and new halves of this dynamic metropolis, both inextricably linked, Taipei walking tours are the closest you’ll get to traveling through time.

Latest reviews from our guests

I had an absolutely wonderful day with Charlotte. It was my fourth and last day in Taiwan, and she took me to many places and I hadn't seen yet, and encouraged me to try the things I'd heard about but didn't know where or how to try. So we had tea eggs (hard boiled eggs marinated in tea) a type of fruit I've already forgotten the name of, and various nut and sesame and tea infused treats. We went to a traditional market, and I got to ask all my many questions, mostly: what is THAT? I have traveled in Asia before, to Japan and Singapore and Indonesia, but it was a luxury to ask all my questions. We went the beautiful Grand Hotel built by Chaing Kai-shek to receive his guests, and also to a lovely smaller temple, My favorite thing was that we went to a tea house to have traditional Taiwanese tea. The Makong Gondola was closed for maintenance this week, and there wasn't enough time to go up the mountain, but Charlotte found me a tea house in town. It was very soothing to have the tea demonstration and then sit and enjoy it. I highly recommend the experience. I also highly recommend this tour and Charlotte!
