A walk between worlds

At just three centuries old, Taipei is one of the youngest cities in Asia. At first glance, its sprawling cityscape and towering skyscrapers paint the picture of a modern marvel. But on a walking tour of Taipei, you’ll uncover snapshots of tangible history embedded in the fabric of the city. Stroll along streets hiding centuries-old Taoist temples, Japanese-era mansions and old merchant villas on a walking tour in Taipei. Between the old and new halves of this dynamic metropolis, both inextricably linked, Taipei walking tours are the closest you’ll get to traveling through time.

Latest reviews from our guests

    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!

    Green was responsive from the start and continually attuned to our family’s needs. I had specific requests about tour venues and start times, and he emailed with every change. On the day of, he even sent a selfie so we could spot him easily. When a situation with our teenager delayed us, he was gracious and reassuring. After we arrived (short one teenager), he shared his own experience, put us at ease, and adjusted the itinerary to fit our priorities. His history and cultural context at the National Palace Museum and Longshan Temple hit the perfect balance—deep enough for my history-buff husband, engaging enough for both teens. Shilin Night Market was the best: top hits, great food, efficient pacing, and we still made it back for massages. What a great day!
