Jason was our tour guide for this trip. He contacted us in advance to confirm The booking. Since this was not a private pick up, he provided us with clear details on how to find the meeting point. He also made sure that we were able to find his car with detailed pictures. It felt like a private tour because it ended up Only with the two of us in the car. He ensured that we had plenty of time to explore tam sui and historical areas. He warned us in advance of how traffic will be jammed before and after the trip. Throughout the car rides, we were able to learn about his life and daily living of Taiwanese community. We got To know him at a personal level. He helped us took great photos throughout the day. When we got back to beitou, he went out of his way to drop us off at the Gaia resort for our hot spring experience instead of our hotel at Taipei. Since we finished the tour early, he assisted us with translation and convinced the resort to move our scheduled appointment to an earlier time. We never felt rush. Overall, we would heartily recommend Jason as a tour guide to our friend and family. He made our trip to Taiwan very memorable. He was super nice , friendly, and accommodating.
