Our 3-person family group booked a private tour guide, Charlotte, and we were very happy with her. She was with us for half a day. Her English was excellent since she went to college in the U.S. She was friendly and knowledgeable. As requested, she showed us how to use the subway system so we could get around on our own. When we visited C.K.S. Memorial, she explained about current Taiwanese politics and history, which was very interesting. At the Taoist Temple, which was a working temple, she told us what the worshippers were doing and to which gods they were praying. That was fascinating and gave us insight into how religion fits into people's everyday lives. The day before the tour, a family member accidentally left his cell phone in a taxi. We were advised to file a police report, but we didn't know how to do it or whether police officers were conversant in English. So we asked Charlotte to help towards the end of the tour session. She facilitated the process, and with the assistance of outstanding Taiwanese police customer service, we were able to recover the phone. Whew! She went over and above to help with the police. She never complained about going past the time we had originally booked her. Of course, we gave her a generous tip! I have no hesitation in recommending Charlotte. She doesn't just take her clients to places, but she also adds background context to the sights because she's an educated and interesting person.
