    Vila provided excellent insights into life in Taipei. She was amazing! The historical and cultural experiences were the highlight of our visit to Taiwan. She even helped us navigate Uber in Chinese and placed an order for us at a local Taiwanese restaurant. We truly felt like we got a taste of what it would be like to be a local. My wife sends a special shout-out for taking us to some fabric stores. Thanks Vila!

    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.

    Maria was a spectacular local host providing us wonderful access to hidden local gems that we never would have found on our own. She tailored our days together (we loved her so much we ended up booking two extra days!) considerate of our American teenage boy’s preferences but also ours as experienced travelers.

    Ken was an amazing and friendly guide. He showed me amazing spots on Miyajima and told me interesting things about Shintoism, post WW2 Hiroshima and other interesting facts about Japan. Would recommend this guide if you want a fun and chill day exploring Hiroshima and Miyajima.
