Ganbay aka cheers - Guide: Garen is very knowledgeable and friendly. She got to know me and gave me a tour that was more customized to me. Food: EVERYTHING I tried was delicious. She shared the history of the food, owners and expert tips.

Great tour! - We loved our tour. Cola was a fantastic guide. Her spoken and written English were excellent so there were no communication problems. Cola is a really enthusiastic, friendly guide who engages you the whole time of the tour. She is very considerate and accommodating of what you would like to see and taste too. We enjoyed all the food we tried, especially the fish all soup which we were a little unsure of trying but it was delicious with very subtle flavours. Cola’s knowledge of the foods and the market was great. Thank you for a wonderful experience Cola. We can highly recommend Cola’s tour.

Great foodie experience in Taipei - We signed up for a 5PM food tour with June and we really enjoyed our time with her. She felt like an auntie introducing us to her neighborhood’s best bites. It was a nice opportunity to sample a variety of traditional Taiwanese culinary staples. Even though we met around dinnertime, June provided recommendations for breakfast and lunch eateries. She also brought us to local shops that sold high quality souvenirs, such as teas, lotions, dried fruits. We weren’t obligated to buy anything. She recommended these shops as they were known for their reliable offering of high quality products made in Taiwan. The shops were happy to let us sample their goods. June also filled us in on some of the history, culture, and politics of Taiwan. All in all, our group felt it was a great experience. June was a fantastic host who gave us a warm and friendly introduction to the various aspects of Taiwan life. We enjoyed our time and would highly recommend this experience to others.

Visiting Taipei for the first time in my life. - Kola is a great host and tour guide in Taiwan. Besides taking us through markets into local eateries, the tour felt intimate and tailor made to our specific tastes. I highly recommend Kola as your tour guide in Taipei!

Taipei-Dongmen Market food tour! - Cola met up with us for lunch time and we had our two kids with us (10yrs and 13yrs old). This was our first-time visiting Taiwan and we loved starting our time exploring Dongmen Market. We went to a fruit market, tried a pork bun (my daughter is very picky and still talks about this bun), Taiwanese spring roll, dumplings, fishbowl soup (sat down at the restaurant), sweet potato, went to Yong Kang Park, had bubble tea and scallion pancake. We also stopped at a really cute tea perfume shop, and she showed us a great place to grab coffee. The whole family truly enjoyed this experience, the best! Thank you so much to Cola you are one of a kind:)

Fantastic Food Tour in Taipei - Judy gave a fantastic tour of the Dongmen area of Taipei and one of the night markets. She was very knowledgeable and highly energetic. The tour went by very quickly. We highly recommend this tour whether this is your first time or tenth time in Taipei.

Pies, Noodles, Milktea and COLA - Cola and I and certified Foodies! My afternoon with Cola was very pleasing and engaging. We sampled local food delights - soy pork on rice with hot soup, the best sweet potato in town, spicy beef noodles and curry dimsum, spicy pancake and the Original Taiwan Milktea, yogurt with dried fruits, pineapple pie and taro cake with oolong tea. Mouthwatering! But what makes everything special is Cola herself. She was very candid and generous and happy and she made me feel like a local foodie too! Thank you Cola for a fun and interesting food tour.

Fantastic experience - A wonderful experience, absolutely worth the cost and time. We had Jones as our guide, and he did a fantastic job: he knew many of the restaurateurs personally, was full of great humor, and was willing to answer all of our questions, even ones not related to food. Was also attentive to preferences and allergies. If you’ll be spending any time in Zhongzheng, make sure to take this tour.

Too pricey for what you get 🙁 - Underwhelmed by this food tour 🫤 and totally surprised when the guide showed up his his car that was filled to the brim with stuff and said he was “in between moves 🤷🏻‍♀️” that kind of started the evening on a strange foot, but thankfully we didn’t spend too much time in the car and switched to an on foot tour. Nothing against the tour guide, he was quirky, but nice and down to earth and he gave us plenty of info along the way, but were just expecting something different for the price we paid and felt a bit taken to be honest. The first food stops were really cheap food options and although the food got a bit better along the way, this tour should really be offered at a much lower price point. For this reason, we really cannot recommend this food tour.
