Latest reviews from our guests

Daphne was Amazing to say the least. She had us on perfect time for each of the venue's. We arrived at Chiang Kai-Shek and saw the statue and then the doors started to close as we were about to leave. So that was perfect. Then we saw the guards marching down to bring the flag down for the evening all while the sun was setting. We saw the Taoist Temple and the Ocean Goddess Mazu. Learned about the details on the prayer and each of the items used and how it is done. She was very knowledgeable. We then did my favorite thing in tasting all the local food at the street market. She told us of the must have's and we tried a few of them till we got full. The entire place was beautiful and clean. We then went to the shopping district and saw how vast the place really is. My wife and girls were completely amazed with the entire place. I would HIGHLY recommend Requesting Daphne. Could not have been any better with the time we had. She schedule the perfect pickup with a private car, the car and driver were very clean and the drive was kind. He was safe and was on time both for the pickup and drop off. Amazing time for a layover. We would have not been able to see so much without Daphne.

Daphne was Great. We really enjoyed ourselves and the timings were perfect as she put together a great itinerary for us and our time in Taipei. She knew where to go and when to get there and recommended specific things for us to try at the street market. We would have missed out if we tried to wander on our own. Plus we got direct information for questions we had during our tour that she had great knowledge on. I would recommend this tour and I would Request Daphne specifically. Our pickup was perfect and the driver was kind and the car was very clean and comfortable.

Daphne our guide did a fantastic job introducing us to Taoism and the Songshan Ciyou Temple we visited. We then walked over to discover many of the incredibly delicious delights of the Raohe Street Night Market! A must-see for all visitors! Arrive hungry! My 3 teenagers and I loved it. Taipei is a very safe and clean city, people are kind and helpful.
