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.

Great to get a brief taste of the interesting City of Taipei. Best if your layover is minimum of 7hr (because it does take sometime to get into the City by express train- no problem though).
