The best private layover tours & experiences with locals

If you have a long layover in the Taiwanese capital, you have two choices. You could sit around and wait at the airport for your next flight, watching time crawl by. Or, you could join a local guide on the ultimate Taipei layover tours that take you into the heart of the city and make the most of the little time you have! You might not think a layover gives you enough time to get the full picture of this fascinating city, but City Unscripted Taipei airport layover tours will prove otherwise. This isn’t just any tour – we’ll take you into the city, and show you a mix of the top attractions and hidden gems that only someone like your local guide would know about.

Meet some of our local hosts around Taipei

See Taipei on your layover

Who says you have to wait out a long layover in a stuffy airport lounge – especially when a city like Taipei is right on your doorstep! A few hours is more than enough time to experience the spirit and soul of the Taiwanese capital, and Taipei layover tours with a local show you the old and new halves of this incredible city. Don’t be fooled by its futuristic facade, because Taipei airport layover tours will also reveal parts of the city that feel like an open-air museum. From Taoist temples and treasure-filled museums to traditional dining, you’ll learn that history here is tangible.

Get a local guide to lead you

Don’t worry about running late or not making it back to the airport on time. You may not be familiar with Taipei, but your local host certainly is! On Taipei airport layover tours, we pick you up right at the airport and make sure you don’t put a foot wrong as you navigate through this futuristic metropolis. Your local guide will be your GPS, guidebook, and translator, making your experience absolutely seamless and sorting your transport for you! Taipei layover tours couldn’t be any easier, and you won’t need to worry about a thing – we’ll get you back to the airport with time to spare.

Layover tours tailored to you

Taipei has as many distinct personalities as the various people who travel with us. You’ll discover on Taipei layover tours that the city is simultaneously a modern entertainment hub, a historic jewel, and an oasis of forested landscapes. Which side of the city are you most excited to explore? That’s the question we ask when crafting Taipei airport layover tours that are 100% tailored to you. You let us know what your interests are, and we’ll plan a tour that shows you everything you’ll love about the city. We couldn’t think of a better way to spend a layover – can you?

Latest reviews from our guests

Winnie was very knowledgeable and chose 3 landmarks to visit during my short stay to explain how Buddhism got established in Taiwan and how Chiang Kai Shek came over to Taiwan as Mao and communism was taking root in mainland China. She had a wealth of information to share and explained some of the current political views developed.
