Private trip to Yehliu, Jifen & Shifen - We availed of the day trip on Monday, Oct 28, 2024. Our Guide/ Driver Howard was fluent in English. There were only the 3 of us, so we fit comfortably in a clean Toyota Camry. The trip to our first stop took about 1 hour, but the ride was educational and fun because Howard was sharing facts about the places and Taiwan. He would recommend what to watch out for at every stop or the must-see things. He was also very reachable through text (WhatsApp) in case we wanted to spend more time at a particular place. But what we liked the most is that we felt safe during the trip. Definitely would recommend it to friends.

Taiwan Must See - The tour guide was great! He was very attentive and full of fun facts. Going with a tour allowed us to see everything in one day. Otherwise this would be a multi day event.

Excellent day trip - We had a wonderful experience exploring the different areas outside of Taipei! Each stop is unique and special. Perfect day trip. Gary was also a wonderful guide. He went above and beyond taking many photos of us. He helped us a lot during our time in Taiwan. Make sure to ask for Gary!

Great Day Trip Excursion, excellent bilingual tour guide! - George was an awesome tour guide, and his English and Mandarin fluency were very appreciated, since one half of my group spoke English and the other half spoke Mandarin.
We experienced a major, unforeseen downpour and George was very flexible in tailoring our day’s schedule so we could still make the best of the weather and our trip. He even brought us to a local market so we could pick up some dry clothes to change into. It was incredibly thoughtful.
My parents, whom are very hard to please, had a wonderful time. They were born and raised in Taiwan, and still asked George to point out any new places and sights to see. They walked away feeling like they learned even more about their home country.
I highly recommend this tour and hopefully you’ll be lucky to get the same guide that we did!

Scenic Sightseeing - Louis our operator was very friendly, knowledgeable and a great tour guide. The experience was amazing having a private tour guide that worked on our timetable and also show us some unique things you wouldn’t get if you were on a group tour. The three distinct cities and unique experiences in all were a perfect day and great way to explore Taiwan. We really appreciate Louis and would definitely use him next time we are in Taiwan.

Did not received a guide, only a driver - We were very disappointed by this tour. It is marketed as a tour with a licensed English speaking guide. In other reviews I see people saying they received a driver and a guide. We received one person to show us around, Lin. Lin was a great driver but was really nothing more than a driver. We didn’t receive any information that a true tour guide would have given, and Lin I do not believe would qualify as a licensed English speaking guide. He was trying his best and very kind but did not speak English well enough to be a guide. For example before leaving one of the stops we tried to tell him we wanted to get one of the food dishes before we left but he could not understand. He could answer very few of our questions and communication was difficult. We have done many tours all around the world and are very patient when trying to communicate with others with a language barrier, but when it comes down to it he should not be marketed as an English speaking guide, he should be marketed as strictly a driver. This was really not worth $415 for strictly a driver, I regret spending money on this and wish we rented a car on our own.
