It was challenging but definitely fun and do-able! - It was a wonderful day on Saturday. Thank you for being so upbeat and patient with all of us. It's a highlight of my Taiwan trip.

A day hike and meet new people - Good hike good guide good group! The guide is very knowledgeable and take care of all details. Many stairs and wild buffalos!

Beautiful hiking with full facilities - Cristian, our guide, had planned the adventure with accuracy and attention to details. With a pick up at 8h15 with a comfortable minivan, after only 40 min drive we were at the trail starting point out of the city in the middle of a beautiful tropical forest. The first 6,8 km are a mix of stairs and flat paved trail. We encounter a big group of wild buffalos taking a mud bath. The most challenging part is the climb up to the pick, that is reachable with a long sequence of hundred of stairs. Cristian is supportive and motivating. Up there a beautiful view of Taipei city all the way to the ocean. All along the trail, Cristian is enthusiastic to share his knowledge about the history of Taiwan its contradictions and contemporary challenges. At the end of the trail, Luke, the driver, was waiting for us and with a Short drive down, we were back in Taipei. 5/5 adventure with a kind a knowledgeable guide.

Tough, rewarding hike with beautiful views. - It's a tough hike given the large amount of steps that you need to climb. With that being said, the payoff of the views is worth it. Cristian was a friendly, knowledgeable guide who helped me achieve total victory.

Hiking on Mt Qixing, Yangmingshan - I was researching how to do a hiking at Yangmingshan when I chance upon HolaTaipei. Communication on email was clear and smooth, Cristian prepared us on the items to bring and recommended the route according to our experience. On the actual day, Cristian reached our hotel on time and took us to another route instead of the one we discussed a week ago. He considered the weather and terrain conditions and made calculated decision. He also planned the route in such a way that it’s easier to go up from one end and come down on the other end. During the hike, Cristian would share with us information not just about Yangminshan but also on Taipei and even research for us the places we wanted to go. We had a few stops to take some breaks and he also took nice photos and video for us! It’s a good choice to contact HoloTaipei, Cristian is the right person to go hiking with. We appreciate his effort in making the experience wonderful.

Taiwan with the best tour guides - The views were amazing, we took so many pictures. The tour guides were excellent. Definitely, true ambassadors of Taiwan.
