What you’ll do

When you touchdown in Taipei, the first thing you’ll notice is the ornate beauty. Next, you’ll glance around and think, jeepers - there sure seems to be a lot to see here - and you’d be right!

In the colorful hustle and bustle of this city, it’s easy for first-timers to feel overwhelmed by choice. That’s where our local Taipei hosts come in.

You’ll join them to find your feet, and find where the best food! They’ll help you get the public transport system locked down, divulge details on all the best local hangouts, and allow you to feel settled in no time!

Feel free to ask away any questions you have and soon, you’ll be laughing in the face of mammoth shopping centers, navigating around the busy streets, and ordering away from street vendors as if you’ve been living here all your life.

Kickstart your trip and get right to the good stuff - we can’t wait to show you around.

    I felt like I was like meeting an old friend who offered to show me around the city. A great guide for someone who wants a combination of planned and spontaneous activities off the beaten path. Excellent information about historical sights.
