Hi there, I'm Claire, and I'm thrilled to be your local host in Taipei! My friends describe me as considerate, friendly, and trustworthy, and I'm always open-minded and thoughtful when it comes to planning the perfect itinerary for you. What I love most about Taipei is the city's incredible convenience - whether you want to hit the beach or hike in the mountains, it's all within easy reach! And of course, there's the food - Taipei has a way of surprising your taste buds, whether you're looking for street food or haute cuisine. I love strolling through the city's charming streets and alleys, where I can always find new hidden food gems to try. And when I want to escape the hustle and bustle, I head to the coast or mountains to hike or simply listen to the soothing sound of the waves. So if you're looking for an authentic Taipei experience, I'm your go-to host! Whether you're seeking scenic spots or delicious food, I'll make sure you have a blast. Can't wait to meet you!

My reviews

    Excellent choices of foods. Claire, the tour guide, was very flexible and very considerate. It was a great way to understand the Taiwan culture of dining out.

    I felt like I was like meeting an old friend who offered to show me around the city. A great guide for someone who wants a combination of planned and spontaneous activities off the beaten path. Excellent information about historical sights.

    Ask for Ping-Hui! I was visiting Taipei for the first time and only had a limited window for sightseeing. Ping-Hui met me at my hotel and made sure that I agreed with itinerary. She also went the extra mile to accommodate my interests and requests.

    The tour was very planned. Ping-hui made sure that I approved the itinerary and went the extra mile to accommodate my interests and preferences. In only 4 hours, my knowledge of Taiwan’s history and politics has greatly improved. I recommend this to everyone!
