Definitely recommend - I recommend this tour! Small group, we had a wide variety of local foods that I would have never had exploring on my own. We also learned a lot about Taiwanese history and culture while on the tour.

Lots of different foods to try! - Great tour with a knowledgeable guide and a small group of people. We tried things we'd not have been brave enough to try if on our own or been confident enough in Chinese to order; definitely enjoyed it all. And there was lots of it! The bitter tea was memorable...

Taipei Eats - Old School Food Tour - My two daughters and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Taipei Eats . Jean was a wonderful guide and we learnt so much , as well as eating the best Taipei has to offer . We visited places we would never have found , often having been run by the same families for generations . And ate so many examples of interesting food - often these tiny places specialise in only one or two dishes . A highlight of our trip to Taiwan , and one I would highly recommend .,

Incredible Culinary Experience in the heart of Taipei 🇹🇼 - An absolute MUST try when visiting Taipei! Taiwan is known around the world for its incredible food and getting to know the history of the food, the local favorites and many interesting facts about the culinary experience is a great way to begin your adventure in Taipei! Our guide Tina was so knowledgable, friendly and eager to share her knowledge and fun facts with everyone in the group. There is sooooo much food you will be eating so come hungry! The variety of food she had shown us and that we tasted was delicious! Everything is so well organized. As you walk through the Dadaocheng district Tina shares all she knows about the architecture, food and more so you not only get a food tour but a well rounded Food + Taipei/Taiwan history tour! I highly recommend Taipei Eats, there is no better company out there!

Best food tour ever! Flexible to the groups' interests. - As my group has all lived in Asia and mainland China for a long time, we thought the Old School tour would give us more Taiwan specific treats. The booking ended up only being our group of friends and we were so impressed by Tina's knowledge of local cuisine, excitement to share the history of each dish, and flexibility and overall willingness to curate a wonderful experience for us.
The beauty of Taiwan's food is that it embraces and fuses together elements from its multicultural history and population to create some of the most interesting and best foods for all different palate preferences. We easily tried 15+ dishes throughout the tour and were so happy she modified the tour as we went to introduce us to new foods. By the end of the tour, I felt able to use the local language and slang and to describe these foods.
I would gladly book another tour through Taipei Eats on my next trip to Taiwan. Best value for money of any food tour I've done across 3 continents.

Truely a great Taiwanese food experience - The food was amazing and the back round combined with the knowledge that Tina brought to the table was amazing, im positive that without Tina in dept knowledge of food and vendor type and location i would not have been able to experience the true traditional taiwanese food.

Unique and delicious food with a fun group! - We're really glad we took this really unique tour and intro to DaDaoCheng - while the area is distinct and "known," the intro to various 40, 60, and 80-yr vendors of traditional foods was invaluable. Our wonderful guide Jean also gave us a good amount of history and background on the area, how it developed, and how it has changed. A great time!
