Half day in Taipei with a local

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!

Megan is why this trip was so special! My spouse and I had such and amazing time! We never felt out of sorts and Megan was there to guide us and show us her world. I can’t thank her enough for such a special time.

Alec was great, funny, and very knowledgeable. We had a great time with him and highly recommend !

David, my host, was a great communicator. He contacted me frequently to ensure I had everything I needed to find the meetup point and to confirm I knew how to get back. He is very knowledgeable about the City of Taipei and its culture. We spent a considerable amount of time at the Longshan Buddhist Temple. It was enlightening and an amazing experience. I have so much more understanding of it. The city is culturally rich and vibrant. I highly recommend David if you would like an inside look!

Charlotte was THE best guide. Warm, funny, knowledgeable and spoke superb English. Our 4 hour tour was well paced, well thought out and well delivered.
