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!

We went around with Green and explored the Shilin Night Market and the neighboring area. Green was very engaging and knowledgeable, and we learned a lot about the culture and cuisine of Taiwan. We tried many interesting bites and even explored local temples in the area. It was a memorable experience!
