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.

We had a great time. Kevin has had such an interesting life so far, and his worldly experiences added flavor to his stories and the history of Taipei and Taiwan.
