    What travelers think of our experiences in Asia

    Awesome, personal, special tour. Balanced pace. Alice was very knowledgeable, gentle, and sweet. She met me on her scooter and we had a really special day. We tried local foods and sweets, special authentic tea, went to the hot springs, and much more. It was a really special experience.

    April was amazing! She asked us what we wanted to see and then showed us the area, ending in the free observatory at sunset looking over Taipei! Highly recommend

    We had such a great tour. Our guide Megan was very knowledgeable about what foods to try, places to shop in. We were able to see the water color festival down by the river. I would highly recommend.

    Alice was a fantastic guide. So warm, patient, helpful and informative. She tailored our half day tour to our particular preferences and even spent extra time with us at the end helping us navigate the very confusing path from Taipei main metro to railway station to catch our train to our next town.

    Megan was our friendly guide and took us on a private custom tour of Taipei giving us tips along the way. Megan was knowlegable and understanding. Highly recommend for an introductory tour to Taipei.

    Alice was an incredible guide! Not only was she incredibly knowledgeable about the areas we visited, but she also created a perfect itinerary to meet our need and goals for our trip. I would refer Alice to anyone looking for a special experience in Taiwan. If you are lucky enough to book her, your vacation will be one you won't soon forget, thank you Alice!!!
