Fantastic - A great tour all round - plenty of time for each of the sites and to soak in the food and culture. Our guide was Jerry 568 and he is funny and informative, sharing lots of information about the sites and about Taiwan's culture and history in general. Highly recommended!

Must try - I choose a small group tour with my friends. Three attractions we went are a way better than we expected. Guide Jerry 568 is excellent to show us all the main spots of attraction and shared Taiwan’s histories while he was driving to the next point.

Wonderful day trip /tour - Best day trip /tour we could have asked for. Our driver was informative, clear communicator, punctual and funny. He even took photos of us and had recommendations for food and other activities. Our favorite day of our trip so far.

Great way to explore Taiwan! - The tour itself is a great way to explore Taiwan. It doesn’t take all of your energy since you’ll be able to rest inside the car. Yehliu was interesting because nature can really make unique things. It was nice to see different mushroom rocks all over the geo park. For Jiufen and Shifen, it’s always nice to learn more about history! The waterfall is a beautiful sight to see too. It’s like a mini Niagra Falls.
Hank was our tour guide! He is knowledgeable on the topics he discussed with us and he made sure to introduce all the places we visited, and not only that, he also gave other facts about Taiwan. He also made sure that we’re all accounted for and he made sure that a senior citizen we were with was able to enter and exit the car properly. He is a caring tour guide and we would definitely recommend him.

Must Do!!!! - Unlike our guide for the one day Taipei tour, Jerry was MUCH better. Very knowledgeable guide with tons of info. He knows the routes to avoid most tourists, and always the best spots for photos. Everything on the itinerary was a must see. If you’re going to release a lantern, don’t go for the first shop on the road, go further down as it’s less crowded and you have more room. We started our tour at noon so we can see the lanterns lit up in Juifen at night. However businesses are closed at 7:30 so don’t expect to eat here

Great day trip from Taipei - Great day trip, highly recommend. Very affordable compared to other tours. Expect it to be like having a private driver instead of a tour guide, which was fine by us. Tommy spoke English, he was great!

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.
