A taste of Taipei

What does Taipei taste like? You’ll get the answer on unforgettable Taipei food tours with a local guide leading the way. You won’t have to doubt that you’re tasting the very best the city has to offer when you’re alongside a food-loving local who’s already vetted Taipei’s top eateries. From our “Eat like a local in Taipei” experience to a “Street food experience in Taipei’s night markets,” our range of food tours in Taipei give you an authentic snapshot of how a local does dinner, and it’s 100 percent unique to the city. Beef noodles, flame-torched sausages, and peppery pork buns await!

International influence

Taiwanese cuisine is what it is because of its history of global trade and colonialism. To experience the city’s culinary traditions on food tours of Taipei is simultaneously to get a lesson in the fascinating past – and the politics – of Taiwan. In fact, this is a city where food and culture go hand in hand. On food tours in Taipei, let your local guide teach you about their hometown’s history as you sample iconic dishes with stories behind them. The sugary-salty, herbal, and umami flavors that define Taiwanese cuisine wouldn’t exist without indigenous and international input.

Dining after dark

Breakfast and lunch are always a treat, but after sunset is when the food scene really starts showing off. That’s because Taipei’s iconic night markets set up shop, attracting locals in droves. Taipei food tours would be incomplete without exploring one (or several) of these fantastic food spots scattered throughout the loud, lit-up city. On food tours of Taipei, you can navigate the chaotic lanes of food markets spilling out onto the streets. Follow the mouthwatering smells of local specialties wafting from hundreds of stalls, and see what a “midnight snack” should look like!

    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.

    Green was a phenomenal tour guide. He was knowledgeable and provided a unified overview of Taiwan with each stop. He didn't just take me around the city but more importantly taught me how to use the trains to get around and oriented me to the city as a whole so that I could feel confident and prepared to enjoy the rest of my trip in Taipei. It was easy and fun to spend the day chatting with him. A very friendly, local experience. Thank you Green!
