Taiwan hi light tour - This was our first trip to Taiwan and we booked this 8 hour tour which was fantastic. Our driver Jackson was very prompt and the vehicle was very clean and roomy. Jackson was very knowledgeable and made our trip a blast adding some great American sing along music. Truly a great guide and we highly recommend him.

YOLO in Taiwan : A Private Day Tour for Three Workaholic Siblings ♡ - Our day started early at 8AM. Day prior, our driver/guide Junior Wy sent a message thru WhatsApp confirming our tour. He was at our hotel at 8AM sharp. He drove a sedan (BMW) -- a very proficient driver who drove fast but safely. Junior took us to Yehliu Geopark, Pingxi, Shifen, and Jiufen. Today was a sunny and humid day so I appreciated his effort to show us around despite the heat. He took us to routes that weren't packed with people and was able to show us a lot of places. We walked a lot and for me that's ok since I needed to burn calories anyway. On our way back home, he drove us to Keelung City and offered to take us to any other place we might want to see. We were back at our hotel by 3PM. Overall, this tour was very much worth our time and money. It was convenient, safe, comfortable, and so much better compared to if we joined a group tour. Junior was a good tour guide who spoke good English; was proactive; and with a great personality. 10/10 will book YOLO Taiwan again when I go back to Taipei!!

Amazing day, awesome tour! - The tour guide, Vincent Lee, picked me up at the exact time we set, we immediately embarked on the tour to Shifen waterfall. The guide explained a lot to me, afterwards we arrived at Shifen Old Street where I released the Lantern. Afterwards we went to Jiufen Old Street with a little detour at the coast, because I loved the view so much! It was a great day!

Great tour, thank you Paul! - We had an incredible day exploring northern Taiwan on a private tour. The pace was perfect — efficient without feeling rushed at any of the scenic spots. Opting for the 12 PM departure allowed us to end the day with a lovely dinner in Jiufen, where we enjoyed a beautiful view of the sea and mountains from the restaurant. Paul Yang was our guide, and he truly enhanced the experience. His patience stood out, giving us extra time whenever needed, he also captured fantastic photos at the best locations. His knowledge of Jiufen's best routes and hidden shortcuts was greatly appreciated. As someone prone to carsickness, I really appreciated Paul's smooth driving and comfortable vehicle, making the journey even more enjoyable. Would definitely recommend the tour & Paul.
