A Fantastic Tour with Marc: Fun, Insightful, and Full of Local Flavor! - Marc’s curiosity about the area’s history and customs, along with his experience as a Chinese Medicine Doctor, made him an awesome guide for our tour. His stories and knowledge really added to our experience and helped us see the city in a new light. What really stood out was how generous he was with his time. After the tour, he stuck around for beers with us, answering questions and sharing great local recommendations. Thanks to his tips, we ran into other tour participants around the city and checked out the spots he suggested, which made our time in Taipei even more enjoyable. If you’re thinking about a tour in Taipei, definitely go for this one! You won’t regret spending time with Marc and getting to know the area better.

Top of the Bill entertainment! - Great entertainment with guide Marc! Top of the bill. He knows a couple of things about Taipei and Chinese Medicine. He applies it during the tour. He guides you along the street facades and temples , gives plenty of background information and knows that the public likes some entertainment of the local tastes and architecture and storytelling. So great entertainer and practitioner on the way😀
