Hi, I’m Daphne
Hi, I’m Daphne

I am Private tour guide
Hello, my name is Daphne, and I am your go-to person on all things Taipei or Taiwanese. 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.

My reviews

We didn’t get to do the whole tour because we had short time and our flight was delayed. Daphne did a great job organizing everything and the tour was really nice. We toured a temple, ate in the market, and walked around the Taipei 101 building. Would recommend for someone with more time to spare since the ride to the airport is an hour.

It was our fist time and first day in Taiwan, and we got a best experience with a beautiful, kind and extremely nice guide Daphne.everything was easy - meeting point, transportation around and so on. We were surprised how much we could see during the tour. She also gave us recommendations about dining, shopping etc. Thank you, Daphne, we immediately got best impression of Taiwanese people and Taipei!

Daphne was a great guide - she provided lots of information but also allowed me to linger or to ask further questions depending on my interests.

I did a layover tour with Daphne and it was incredible! City Unscripted had a nice questionnaire to help personalize your trip, and Daphne helped me get exactly what I wanted out of the trip - a look into the city, customs, and history as best as I could in a single day. She even set me up for success when her time with me ended by guiding me to one last location and arranging pick-up for me at a later time at my request. What a fantastic personal experience - would absolutely do again!
