    Alice is a kind, friendly, and knowledgeable guide. She went out of her way to make sure I had a good time by planning an itinerary that echoed my interests and preferences. Not to mention, she’s just a really cool human. I highly recommend!

    We had an absolutely wonderful experience on our private four-hour custom tour of Taipei! From the moment we met out tour guide, Alice, it felt less like a guided tour and more like spending the day with a knowledgeable, fun, and engaging friend. Her English is excellent, making communication effortless, and her extensive knowledge as a Taipei local allowed us to experience not only the major sights, but also hidden gems and local treasures that we never would have discovered on our own. What truly set this tour apart was Alice’s ability to bring the city to life through its culture and history. She provided fascinating context and stories at every stop, and she patiently answered what felt like my husband’s million questions with patience and expertise. Beyond the tour itself, she also shared fantastic recommendations for restaurants, neighborhoods, and other places to explore during the rest of our stay. If you’re looking for an authentic, personalized, and memorable introduction to Taipei, we cannot recommend this tour (and specifically our guide Alice) highly enough. She made our visit so much richer and more enjoyable than we ever expected.

    Great tour - we were lucky to have a flexible guide who could tailor the experience to what we like. Key for us was the visit of the local authentic market of Dongmen - only locals go and no sight of tourists!
