A Great Layover in Taipei - Yi Hsuan (Kate) was a marvelous guide to all things Taipei. I had only a 10-hour layover in Taipei and decided to explore the city. Yi Hsuan was able to arrange a tour just for my interests—with a tea tasting and visit to an ancient tea factory that is still operating, a stroll through the old neighborhood, a visit to the Temple of Love, a fascinating night market, and even drawing lots and checking my fortune at the famous Longshun Temple. Throughout the whole tour she was kind, knowledgeable, and willing to share her views on life in Taiwan. It was a fascinating experience and I would highly recommend her to my friends and family. What a truly great night in Taipei.

Fantastic night market tour! - My night market tour with Jones was the highlight of my quick weekend in Taipei. He is a pleasure to spend time with and is incredibly knowledgable — he shared so much about the history of the markets and shops. I also learned a lot from him about Taiwan and Taipei. He brought me to so many great spots, and I got to enjoy delicious food along the way. I had such a great time and would absolutely recommend a tour with Jones. Truly a wonderful experience.

Wonderful night tour in Taipei!’ - We were a very last minute reservation, but Jessica came through and made it happen! She was a wonderful and energetic tour guide and introduced us to the Taiwanese culture! Her love for her country and her heritage shined through as she taught us Taiwan! ! It was a night my husband and I will not forget and we are already planning our next trip to Taipei ! Hopefully Jessica will be available to give us more tours in Taipei!

So good I booked another tour for the next day! - What an amazing adventure to see Taipei through Garen’s eyes. She was able to paint the full experience of Taipei with history, culture, overall vibe and at the same time enticing the four senses all in just a few hours. I walked away wanting more so I booked another tour with her the next day and it was even better. Belly full with Taiwan’s signature dishes as well as loaded with images to please Instagram for days. You’ll be pleased to be in the hands of a true professional guide.

Great time around Taipei at night! - This was a quick night as my Uber driver dropped me in wrong location so the first half hour was finding the correct spot. It was also raining so had to navigate around the night market to stay dry, but Jessica was a trooper. She was entertaining and gave great history and stories to the Temple, the night market, rainbow bridge and Taiwan in general. She suggested food I should try and was always on point with the exception of an ice cream dish I wanted and was fabulous. I was stuffed when we were done and she was helpful in getting me back to my hotel on the app without incident. Would highly recommend but would change the address meeting point on the website and ticket. Maybe have the temple as the meeting as everyone knows where that is! Kudos and thanks again! Will come back again and go hiking!

A Magical Evening Indeed - We had a great time with Daphne exploring Songshan Ciyou Temple, Raohe Night Market, and the Taipei 101 area. Not only did we see beautiful sites and eat great food, Daphne gave us historical information and ensured we were having fun the whole time.

Evening tour of temples and night markets - Jones as an excellent guide for my first night in Taipei. Though With Locals, I was able to express my preferences for a private tour. Picked me up at my hotel in his car and we started at a high vantage point for an overview if the city geography and history. Jones' explanation of temple customs and culture expanded my knowledge.
At the night markets, Jones started with Midwestern boy with familiar foods and then expanded to the less familiar. Extremely helpful to have Jones translate with the owners of the food stalls, as choices that cost $1.50 have options for fillings, seasonings and sauces.
With Locals web site and phone app are both very solid and smooth. Once you book, I had frequent and helpful text exchanges with my guide on What's App.
Highly recommend this booking platform and this guide.

A great food tour - Jessica took us to the Shilin Night market and we tasted lots of of great (and not so great) foods. She was good fun and explained everything. We will always remember the stinky tofu!

You can tell she loves her city and was very knowledgeable about the history and on trendy places that are of interest to tourists! She answered all of our questions and gave us some great insider advice!
I would absolutely go on another tour with Daphne.

Had such a nice time, we booked a 2nd evening tour for 10 Tastings. - Having never been to Taiwan & Taipei, these tours were definitely the way to go. Jessica was our host/tour guide & she established a warm, welcoming rapport right from the start. We learned so much just in touring the Songshan Ciyou Temple & how it’s history is intertwined with the Raohe St. Night Market. During our night market walk-thru, Jessica was always attentive for any questions or concerns we had as we tried different foods. Our last stop was the park at Taipei 101 & the Taiwan Lantern Festival was happening while we were there. Jessica was kind enough to take lots of pictures of us throughout the tour which we really appreciated as we are not the kind of travelers who stop to take pictures to document everything but rather the ones who enjoy the moments. When we come back to Taipei, we hope to book more tours & request her as our guide.
