Latest reviews from our guests

Green met us at the hotel we were staying at in Taipei. He asked us what we would like to see and tailored the tour accordingly. We used the MRT so that we could see as many sites as possible which included the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, temple and dock. We also walked along streets to get a "feel" of what life was like in Taipei with Green pointing out interesting buildings along the way. Green shared his knowledge of the city with us. We had a very enjoyable experience. Would highly recommend the tour.

Such a great tour with Vania! She took us to very special sites that we wouldn’t find on our own. She helped bring an understanding of the history of the neighborhood and all of the amazing structures that make it so rare.
