Yessss - Great value and comfort if you want to visit Alishan in one day from Taichung without caring about the maze of public transport. Our guide knew perfectly the story of the main trees of the forest which helped us to understand better what Alishan is, and not just having a hike in the woods. Recommended hiking shoes, possibly waterproof since it rains most of the times, and a light jacket, even if humid we were at 16°C in August

Best way to go to Alishan if you have limited time only - I went on a join-in tour by myself, I was a bit worried about being awkward at first. Later I made friends with other travelers during the tour, so it turned out to be an unforgettable trip. The weather wasn't too good that day but apparently it's usually foggy at Alishan. I guess that's why it's a bit mysterious there.
