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.

FAQs
Your questions, answered
Is this a traditional tour or something different?
This isn’t a traditional tour with a fixed script. It’s a fully personalized day shaped around your interests, whether it’s culture, history, neighborhoods, or hidden local spots. Your host is a knowledgeable local, more like a friend showing you their city. It’s flexible, one-on-one, and tailored entirely to you.
How does personalization work?
After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary.
Will I see famous landmarks or just hidden gems?
What if I don’t know what I want to explore?
Can I request a specific host?
Can I mix different themes in one experience?
Yes! You can blend food, culture, history, neighborhoods, or even a bit of nightlife if time allows. Just share your interests in the questionnaire, and your host will build the day around them.
What makes City Unscripted different?
How does my host personalize this experience?
Will I know my itinerary in advance?
Can I request specific places or types of stops?
Can I adjust the plan on the day?
What kind of stories and insights will my host share?
Will we enter attractions, or just explore from the outside?
Are food and drinks included, or do I need to pay separately?
Unless stated otherwise, food and drinks are not included. Your host will take you to great spots where you can order what you like and pay as you go.
Do I need to pay for the host's food or drinks?
Can my experience accommodate dietary restrictions?
Yes! You'll receive a questionnaire right after booking where you can note any dietary requirements, and your host will tailor the experience accordingly.
How much walking is involved?
Do you have deals with restaurants or set food stops?
No, unlike traditional food tours, our hosts are free to take you to their personal favorite spots rather than fixed locations. This means your food experience will always be unique, with authentic and unbiased recommendations from someone who knows the local food scene best.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Your experience will still go ahead, and your host will adapt the day to suit the conditions. One of the great things about City Unscripted is that no two experiences are the same, and your host knows the city well enough to find great “rainy day” alternatives.
Is this experience physically demanding?
We can tailor the experience to be as active or relaxed as you like—just let us know what suits you best!
Can we explore outside the main city?
What makes a night experience different from daytime?
Cities take on a completely different character after dark—whether it’s quiet lantern-lit streets, lively food stalls, or buzzing nightlife, your host will show you the best of the city at night.
Can I combine nightlife with food or cultural experiences?
Absolutely! Many night experiences blend food, drinks, and cultural spots for a unique evening adventure.
Is it safe to explore at night?
Yes! Your host will guide you through safe and exciting areas so you can enjoy the city stress-free.
