Experience Taipei
Beyond the Guidebooks

Our night market food tour with Green was a highlight of our trip to Taipei! He was accommodating of our wishes, and extremely knowledgeable. He gave us tremendous insights into Taiwanese culture. A tour like this would not have been possible on our own. We did not see another Western tourist during the entire evening! The food was interesting, and delicious. Highly recommended!

I had very little time in Taipei, and my host understood what I wanted to see, curating my itinerary to fit all the important things.

Green was an awesome tour guide! In addition to showing me all the best food stops, he was a great conversationalist and gave me interesting insights into Taipei and Taiwan. Highly recommend! Thanks Green :)

Not only did we explore a night market, but we visited a couple of Taoist temples and explained the rituals and belief systems associated with them. Also, she was flexible about the itinerary; she did not make me repeat a market I had already seen.

We had a great time trying new foods and leaving about Taiwan from our guide Lin. She was very friendly, knowledgeable and took our lead on the pace for the tour. We even toured a temple nearby which was an added bonus.

We enjoyed lots of food and interesting conversations with Lin. We also got a tour of a temple nearby which was an added bonus!

Jenny was fabulous. I can’t have asked for a better experience and she far exceeded my expectations!

Very informative tour guide. We covered most basically highlights of Taipei. Taipie is a beautiful city. Highly recommended.

Megan was a great tour guide! She tailored the tour to our interests. I enjoyed learning about the history and experiencing and learning about the temples.

I enjoyed experiencing the temples and learning about the customs

Megan is knowledgeable and it was really helpful to sightsee with a local especially if you’re looking for a short tour during a layover with limited time.

Alice was an excellent guide, taking us through the Night Market and letting us sample the many foods …She gave explanations of the many different food options!

My tour guide Alice was amazing in organizing everything we could do in three hours, and she was also cognizant of me getting to the airport for my flight. I saw historic sights, ate amazing breakfast and lunch. She was such a kind and informative guide! I truly enjoyed my experience my last day in Taipei.

Alice was very communicative first the start regarding what my interest could be and how she would be planning the time we had together. She did everything in her ability to make this tour include everything that I wanted to see and eat! She was amazing and made my last day in Taipei really fun and amazing!

If you want to eat like a local this tour is a great opportunity. My guide Alice did an excellent job walking me through the Night Markets and showing me the foods that Taiwanese people love. Although there are some outlandish options that might test a westerner, there are also plenty of tamer options as well. We even got lucky and scored some fresh Chinese Bayberries which have a very short season.

Daphne was a great guide! She explained concepts and customs along with historical facts to make the four hours fly by. It was a very interesting and educational experience.

Daphne was an amazing guide! She was personable and smiling and genuine.

We didn’t get to do the whole tour because we had short time and our flight was delayed. Daphne did a great job organizing everything and the tour was really nice. We toured a temple, ate in the market, and walked around the Taipei 101 building. Would recommend for someone with more time to spare since the ride to the airport is an hour.

It was our fist time and first day in Taiwan, and we got a best experience with a beautiful, kind and extremely nice guide Daphne.everything was easy - meeting point, transportation around and so on. We were surprised how much we could see during the tour. She also gave us recommendations about dining, shopping etc. Thank you, Daphne, we immediately got best impression of Taiwanese people and Taipei!

Dragon went above and beyond. She is knowledgeable, thorough, and we had a very informative and enjoyable day with her.

We had a great experience using City Unscripted with Dragon as our guide for a night market tour. They were very responsive, and quickly sent a questionnaire to learn about our preference, which helped make for a highly personalized tour. Dragon was incredibly knowledgeable and did a great job of understanding our preferences and ensuring we had a great experience. We ate lots of tasty food and learned a lot about Taiwan (food, night markets, and much more). We really enjoyed our time, and I'd feel good about booking with City Unscripted again.

We would 100% highly recommend dragon/ Peining Lung for this Private walking tour. She is friendly, well spoken, very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humour.… We had such a great time she took us on the trains metro & bus around the city and was all ways on hand showing us how to understand the metro lines. Conversations were not only on the sites we visited but also on the culture, different types of foods, and religions If you want to see the very best of Taipei then please don’t hesitate to have Dragon as your tour guide I promise you will have an amazing day and learn so much.

Dragon was wonderful and we would recommend her for any tour! She was knowledgeable and kind and was fun to be with!

My tour guide and the tour company were super helpful. They're also very informative and quick to response. I got contacted 5 days before the tour. Winnie- my tour guide speaks fluent English, very nice, and answered all my questions. She explained the history and culture of Taiwan and also showed me how to navigate around the subway station. Would definitely recommended.

Winnie is a great host. She is very informative and helpful with everything. I enjoy my tour with her, it was a great pleasure. Definitely recommended!

Winnie showed us Lin family grounds and home. It was something very unusual and a site we would never have discovered on our own. The Longshan Temple gave us insight into religious life. Lunch was a great treat. Very filling and delicious.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a city tour in Taipei, and it exceeded all my expectations. Winnie, my tour host was well-organized, introducing me to a perfect blend of cultural immersion, historical insight, traditional foods and shopping. In the 5 hours we managed to comfortably see Lin A Taipei historical house, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, changing of the guards followed by the beautiful Longshan Temple. Winnie provided a terrific overview of Taipei's charm in the short time I had available. Highly recommended this tour!

We were given a full 6 hours if experiences and sightseeing from a lovely local guide who was very knowledgeable.

Completely customizable. VIila was an ncredibly responsive and personable guide. She introduced us to shops and experiences we could never have found on our own.

Ich hatte einen großartigen Tag mit Vila! Ich habe viel gesehen und erlebt und sehr viel erfahren über Geschichte, das heutige Taiwan bis hin zu heimischen Gerichten, die ich in einem einheimischen Lokkal auch genießen konnte. Eine Top Empfehlung! Danke Vila! I had a fantastic day with Vila! I saw and experienced a lot, and learned a great deal about history, modern-day Taiwan, and even local dishes, which I was able to enjoy in a local restaurant. Highly recommended! Thank you, Vila!

Had an amazing time with Vila on my layover tour in Taipei! Vila picked me up from the airport and drove me around the city showing me a local fish market and outdoor food market, the famous Dihua street, and the beautiful Chiang Kai-shek memorial. We tried yummy treats all around and she showed me some wonderful spots to pick up some tea and a few other little souvenirs. She did a wonderful job customizing our few hours to what was important to me and shared so much about her culture and the history of Taiwan. I would definitely recommend booking a tour if you have a long layover rather than just sitting it out in the airport.

We had a great night exploring a local night market trying the food and visiting a temple as well Kevin was a good host.

I’m so glad we extended the Taipei holiday its amazing here and the hotel and tour guide were amazing

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.

Laid back tour guide that tailored to our needs. I would recommend him to others for a general sense of Taipei (which is what I was looking for) however I would look elsewhere for the nitty gritty detail.

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

Cindy was a great host! We had a very nice tour with her and saw many locations. She is also great to talk to and gave us a lot of her perspective on her life in Taiwan.

This tour was very memorable because my guide, Cindy, is extremely knowledgeable not only about Taipei but about Taiwan as a whole. Her prodigious grasp of history and of current events in Taiwan provided a wonderful backdrop to the sites and places that we visited. She brought me not only to attractions frequented by tourists but also to other interesting, less-crowded places. I highly recommend this tour and suggest that you ask for Cindy as your guide.

Our guide, Cindy, was excellent! She knew all of the places to go! It was Chinese New Year’s Eve, and though some places closed early, she made the best of it! She is most knowledgable about the city, night market, and various foods. Cindy made sure that each of us had something we would like.

Roro was an amazing guide. She shared so many local customs and foods with us. As it was our first visit to Taipei, Roro was the perfect introduction to the city. A better more fun guide couldn't be found.

She really chose nice secret spots and i teresting places to visit!

Roro was an amazing guide. We were shown such interesting people and foods. The night market was a maze and Roro guided us through with ease. So many different foods to choose from. She explained everything as well as the different customs and things we saw. She was a perfect leader. Roro answered all of our questions and made the experience one to always remember. She is a treasure and a definite perfect addition to Viator. We would wish her to be our guide in the future. 10 out of 10

Roro was a most excellent guide. She knew so many special places and foods. She gave us insights into local cultures and customs. We couldn't have wished for a better person to introduce us to Taiwanese foods. She is a treasure. Next visit we will request her to guide us again.

Excellent choices of foods. Claire, the tour guide, was very flexible and very considerate. It was a great way to understand the Taiwan culture of dining out.

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.

Ask for Ping-Hui! I was visiting Taipei for the first time and only had a limited window for sightseeing. Ping-Hui met me at my hotel and made sure that I agreed with itinerary. She also went the extra mile to accommodate my interests and requests.

The tour was very planned. Ping-hui made sure that I approved the itinerary and went the extra mile to accommodate my interests and preferences. In only 4 hours, my knowledge of Taiwan’s history and politics has greatly improved. I recommend this to everyone!

Yui was my City Unscripted tour guide in Taipei. She was a great listener, asked spot-on questions, and shared heaps of info. She made sure the tour was tailored just for me, which was tops. Yui chatted about the local food, how it's made, and the culture here in Taipei. She really got what I was after and made the tour exactly what I wanted. Yui gave me some bonza ideas for other things to do in Taipei, based on what she knew I was keen on. At the end, she took me to the train station and gave me clear directions to get back to my hotel – no worries there! I had a very good time with Yui, and I'm stoked I chose her as my guide. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch guide in Taipei.

We had a great time with Yui. She customized the trip to our preferences and was fun to spend time with. The food was - of course - excellent.

A must do to get the real feeling of the city! We had the most wonderful day seeing so many "must do" in Taipei! Jandy was a pleasure to be with and extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Jandy!

Jandy was so delightful and knowledgeable! We were able to see so much of the city in a few hours. I highly recommend Jandy! She was fantastic!

Guide was excellent.
