Incredible tour - We did a tour with James Chen and he was great! We did the 9 hour tour that include Jiufen. He arrived at our hotel right on time and was super friendly, and even came prepared with water for us! He was very informative and knowledgeable on the tour and answered all our questions. As it got sunnier/windier he was even so kind to even offer a jacket or umbrella. He helped arrange a vegetarian meal for us, being mindful of allergies, helped us communicate with vendors to buy souvenirs, and gave good suggestions of foods to try. He also took pictures of us at all the landmarks! We had a great day tour thanks to him and feel we couldn’t have gotten such a great experience if we had been on our own.

Excellent tour with an excellent tour guide - Chia Jung did an excellent job touring us. He has warm personality, loves his job and most of all speaks English very well. He even has the accent of an American English speaker. He is a good conversationalist. He took care of us until the last minute of our tour; and took us lots of pictures too. We will for sure recommend this tour to our friends back home with special mention of Chia Jung as a tour guide. Excellent tour. Perfect 5 stars🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 rate.

A terrific time touring Taiwan's beautiful countryside with Tony - We had such a fun and informative day. Tony was wonderful, delivering above and beyond our anticipated itinerary. He put so much energy and thought into finding secret spots to maximise our experience and to create special memories for us. He is such a good human who clearly loves what he does and thrives upon seeing his guests enjoy themselves as well. We are so grateful for the time we spent with him. He opened our eyes to parts of Taiwan we didn't know existed and taught us about the flavours, culture and history with passion and good humour. We'll remember our time with him with huge smiles for years to come.

Excellent day trip with James Chen, private guide. - James Chen was an amazing guide for our day in the mountains! He’s everything a guide should be and even though he apologized for his English we thought his conversation skills were excellent. He kept us moving, provided umbrellas when it started to rain and introduced us to a totally different side of Taiwan than the big city. He took us to the most wonderful little eatery when he found out we wanted Tai soup dumplings, even calling ahead so the proprietor could have them ready when we got there. He takes many pictures and has contacts which provide excellent services like tea ceremony and lantern lighting. One of the best days we had on our trip to India and Asia.

Great Place! - One of the highlights of our Taipei trip! Everyone in our family enjoyed the scenic drive going out of Taipei. The releasing of the lantern was a good experience and knowing the history behind it all was a plus. Thanks to our helpful and friendly tour guide Mr. Chia Jung for making our tour a memorable one. Look for him when you book this tour!

Great way to see many areas of Taiwan! - The tour is a great way to explore many areas of northeast Taiwan in a single day! Our guide for the day provided us a wonderful balance between touring us around and allowing us time to explore ourselves. My only wish was that we would have had some more time to explore Jiufen!

Driver versus an actual Guide - Our guide didn’t really do much talking, just mostly took us from spot to spot instead of actually being a guide and sharing more details, historical backgrounds/significance. Also timings were off from the tour description as we spent very little time in Shifen as an example. Places were good to see, just needed to have more engagement .
