Such a fun and memorable day exploring different areas of Taipei. Alice customized our tour based on our interests and requests. She confirmed the itinerary in advance so it could adjusted if need and was flexible the entire day. Our group of nine loved the tour from start to finish, and learned a lot more of Taipei than if we had done it on our own. Thank you Alice.

Touring Taipei with Alice was an absolutely wonderful experience. From the very beginning, it felt like the perfect match—Alice grew up in Taipei, and her deep local knowledge brought the city to life for us. She offered a variety of tour options and thoughtfully tailored the day to suit our family’s interests, making everyone feel included. Alice took the time to connect with each member of our family, showing genuine warmth and curiosity, which made the experience feel personal and relaxed. We truly had the best day: visiting the iconic Taipei 101, eating our way through the city, hiking in the afternoon, and ending the day with more incredible food and shopping. Throughout the day, Alice generously shared her knowledge, stories, and love for Taipei, making the city feel vibrant, welcoming, and unforgettable.

Green was responsive from the start and continually attuned to our family’s needs. I had specific requests about tour venues and start times, and he emailed with every change. On the day of, he even sent a selfie so we could spot him easily. When a situation with our teenager delayed us, he was gracious and reassuring. After we arrived (short one teenager), he shared his own experience, put us at ease, and adjusted the itinerary to fit our priorities. His history and cultural context at the National Palace Museum and Longshan Temple hit the perfect balance—deep enough for my history-buff husband, engaging enough for both teens. Shilin Night Market was the best: top hits, great food, efficient pacing, and we still made it back for massages. What a great day!

What you’ll do

You’ll join one of our local Taipei hosts for a take to the streets, or mountains for that matter, of Taipei - your wish is our command!

 

Amidst the hustle and bustle, you’ll fall in love with the flavors, sounds, colors, and inherent spirituality of Taiwan’s capital. It’s like a concentrated hub of intoxicating extremes, and your host can’t wait to share the very best of their home city with you.

Depending on the timing of your experience, you might like to check out the Shilin and Raohe night markets, climb Elephant Mountain for stellar views over the city, shop in trendy Ximending, or get close to nature in Yangmingshan National Park.

It’s all about doing Taipei, your way, remember? Our hosts provide insight, giving your adventures some local authenticity, but you dictate the pace. We’re excited. Are you excited?
