Wonderful walk around Dadaocheng - Booked a 2hr private walking tour for 2 with May and it was a evening well spent walking through Dadaocheng and learning about it's rich history and architecture. May was very enthusiastic and we liked that she brought us to a place to buy Taiwanese tea. She was patient and accomodating, and even recommended places to buy souvenirs. The entire experience felt as if a friend is showing you around her favourite places. Highly recommended for anyone who is into history and culture!

Alex is the best! - Alex Feng is an excellent tour guide. He arrived early and made a good impression of being friendly and enthusiastic. He gave a very interesting tour of the Dadaocheng market area with some history of Taiwan and of the merchant culture plus sampling of the herbal and culinary delights. We were fortunate to witness a street performer who magically changed multiple face masks. At the end of the tour he offered his cell phone number in case we needed any assistance during the remainder of our stay.

The historic side of a place - Worth the experience visiting this historic quarter of the city. It's not just about the touristy side of a place but also its past as well. My guide May Ei was particularly knowledgeable about the topic.

Fascinating afternoon exploration of an older part of Taipei - Our tour guide Gina did a great job showing us Dadaocheng! She was able to seamlessly juggle between addressing the Canadian guests in English as well as my parents, who spoke Mandarin. While we had been to Dadaocheng several times before, it was always brief and singleminded, with the purpose to buy or eat something. This was the first time we had a leisurely stroll through the area, and Gina shared many interesting details about the architecture as well as led us to explore new shops that we would have never thought to visit. Was a great time facilitated by a great guide!

Fascinating history for a lively local neighborhood! - We had a wonderful tour with our guide Wayne (aka Pooh). He grew up in this neighborhood and was able to explain a lot of the history. It’s a fascinating neighborhood with diverse architecture, in addition to the bustling street stands full of amazing food. Wayne was also exceedingly generous with his time and went out of his way to help us with suggestions on where to eat and what to do. Great tour for an unbeatable price!

Experience the history and traditional culture in Dadaocheng - It was my first time join the waking tour with my classmates. Although I have been Dadaocheng many times before, I never knew its history background or visit the local tea shop and museum. As well as seeing an event that was held in front of a temple! All and all, this was an interesting and informative learning experience~
