I had an excellent tour, thanks largely to my guide, Kevin Wang. Kevin went above and beyond by providing me with insights, in addition to background info, on the places we visited. Although not originally part of my itinerary, I was very glad that Kevin suggested that we visit the Shifen Waterfalls in Pingxi District. It was admittedly the highlight of my tour. I'm afraid I insisted on staying a little bit longer in Shifen, so we no longer had time to visit the cats in Houtong Village but I promise to visit the cats next time I'm in Taipei. I enjoyed sampling the various Taiwanese delicacies that we found during the tour. If you're a foodie, Kevin will give you suggestions on where to find the best Taiwanese food, including those found in the various night markets inn Taipei.

We hit the highlights of the city and learned much of the history. We had requested a few things beforehand and he incorporated everything and a whole lot more. Gerg's demeanor was just right for us. He was a wealth of historical and current information. He was easy to listen to, talk to, spend time with. It was a very informative walking tour that was absolutely amazing!! He even accommodated our request to meet at our hotel and he made sure with great directions that we could find our way back perfectly! I felt like we made a friend in Amsterdam;) We were very lucky that he was our tour guide!!

We had a fabulous time! We saw more of the city than we would have been able to see on our own. Nehal was so much fun, so knowledgeable and so kind. We truly enjoyed every minute of the evening.
