Reviews of Our Taipei Experiences

The travel time between destinations took up a lot of time but the experience itself was amazing! We made the most with the time we had and the tour guide gave us great insights with each destination and time to explore and go souvenir shopping. I enjoyed the tour guide’s energy and advice on how to be like the locals and navigating the metro system

Great to get a brief taste of the interesting City of Taipei. Best if your layover is minimum of 7hr (because it does take sometime to get into the City by express train- no problem though).

She was amazing! She treated me like a friend from the start, taking me to a fantastic local brunch spot. We also explored some great sights together. One of the highlights was a visit to a Michelin-rated restaurant, where the noodles were absolutely delicious—and the best part? I only paid about $20! Such a steal. As a true foodie, she made sure my belly was always full, and I loved every moment of it!
