Perfect Introduction to Taipei - Cola was lovely. Her enthusiasm was infectious and she gave us an excellent introduction to Taipei, one of its most interesting neighborhoods (and the pineapple cake) and some of its principal monuments and sights. Great way to start our week in Taiwan!

Sunny day in Taipei - We were lucky to have Garen Chan as tour guide, she went all the way to explain in details about everything we need to know about Taiwan. We absolutely love her and her passion about Taiwan culture. Hence, she is very nice and helpful. Thank you Garen, we would definitely recommend this tour.

Exploring Taipei's Secrets with Daphne - Daphne provided an outstanding tour of Taipei, making my first visit to Taiwan an enriching and memorable experience. Her extensive knowledge of Taipei and Taiwan's culture brought each location to life, and I appreciated her willingness to tailor the tour to my interests. At the delightful tea shops, she patiently allowed extra time for me to explore, taste, and eventually select a beautifully fragrant Taiwanese tea – a challenging choice, given the variety! As a vegetarian, I was especially grateful for her helpful tips on ordering in restaurants and finding vegetarian options at the night market.
Daphne’s tour also revealed some fascinating “hidden secrets” of Taipei, little gems that only a local would know – but you’ll need to take her tour to discover these for yourself! She even took the time to teach me how to navigate the subway, making me feel more comfortable exploring on my own afterward. Her additional recommendations for things to do and see post-tour were much appreciated as well. In short, Daphne was an exceptional guide, and I would highly recommend her tour to anyone visiting Taipei.

Great tour - Thank you Garen for a great tour. We learnt so much about Taiwan and it’s history. Garen is so knowledgable and really took the time to answer all of our questions. We’re so glad that we did this tour as part of our trip to Taiwan and feel that we would have missed a lot had we not done it.
As well as being a fantastic tour guide, Garen was very friendly and also offered to take lots of photos of us at the various sites we visited. We now know a lot more about Taiwan and also have some great photos from the day! Would recommend!

Great tour when in Taipei - My husband, Jeff and I thoroughly enjoyed Garen's tour. It was pouring rain all day and she managed to give us the best tour without getting soaking wet! I was amazed! I would give her a 20 out of 10 if possible. Her knowledge and passion about the history of Taipei, ability to maneuver through the rain and cater to our likes and needs was orchestrated with perfection! I highly recommend her for any tour. We would have booked her again if we had more time. Thank you Garen!

Guided Walking Tour of Taipei City - We did a 3-hour tour with Chia-chien Jessica and we are so glad that we did! She took us around to some city highlights that we never would have found on our own and she explained the history of Taiwan as well as some of the culture and traditions in a way that was super engaging and interesting. We also got to take public transit and ride bikes! She was fantastic! If you are spending a few days in Taipei, this would be a great way to learn more about how to easily get around the city.

Perfect Intro To Taipei - This was my first trip to Taipei and I didn't have a lot of background knowledge about the city or strong feelings about where to go. I just wanted to maximize the little time that I had to familiarize myself with what makes Taipei so unique. Daphne delivered! She was the perfect guide; well-informed, approachable and friendly. She showed me around several areas of the city where we experienced and discussed the highlights of the city's markets, culture, history and food scene. The tour was informative without being dull and structured enough to maximize the variety of experiences while still leaving plenty of flexibility to accommodate my interests on the fly. Highly recommend!

Great way to start a trip to Taipei - Daphne was wonderful and communicated and showed us so many interesting parts of the city. We loved getting to know the history. Daphne was wonderful about sneaking in a chance for tea tasting. And afterwards she sent some great suggestions for hikes and day trips.

Brilliant city tour - We had the most wonderful time with Daphne in Taipei. She went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable adventure. Her knowledge and sense of humour gave us the best platform to thoroughly enjoy Taipei but Daphne far exceeded that by giving us recommendations for the rest of our trip as well. I could not recommend an excursion with Daphne more to make sure that you see all the sights across the city sprawl.
