Description
The One Tour You Shouldn't Miss in Taipei If it’s your first time in Taipei — this is where you start. We are a team who believes the best way to experience a city is to ride through it. This isn’t a typical bike tour. It’s a thoughtfully designed experience that gives you an insider’s view of Taipei — from vibrant street life to quiet neighborhoods, you’ll see how the city wakes up, eats, and flows through the day. We start with a Taiwanese breakfast, then ride through hidden streets and cultural spots, sharing the stories behind the places we visit and uncovering layers of Taipei’s history. By the end, you’ll start to understand how these influences shape everyday life. It’s a slow, immersive journey filled with small surprises — connecting you to the heartbeat of Taipei. Perfect for design lovers, food explorers, slow travelers, and anyone who wants to experience Taipei beyond the postcard version. Small group only. Premium E-bike and gear — no sweat, just pure adventure.

Traditional Taiwanese Breakfast A classic way to start the day in Taiwan. Fresh soy milk served with crispy youtiao (fried dough), savory dan bing (egg crepes), or flaky shaobing (flatbread). Simple, satisfying, and full of local flavor.
Ａ cozy café that roasts its own beans. We’ll taste a few different kinds of coffee, each made from a different bean to highlight unique flavors. The barista, who’s also a certified coffee judge, will share more about the beans, roasting process, and flavor notes.
Songshan Ciyou Temple Built in 1753, Songshan Ciyou Temple is a Taoist temple dedicated to Mazu, the goddess of the sea. Located at the eastern end of Raohe Street Night Market, it has been a spiritual center for the local community for over 250 years. The temple showcases traditional Chinese architecture with intricate carvings, vibrant colors, and ornate dragon sculptures. Its six floors house over a hundred deities, reflecting Taiwan’s rich religious heritage.
Hulin Traditional Market, A local market where you can find fresh food, snacks, and daily necessities. It’s a great place to experience the real everyday life of Taipei.
Once a 1940s military dependents’ village, this charming spot tells the story of families who came to Taiwan with the Nationalist government. Today, it’s a cozy cultural hub with indie markets, art spaces, and cafes—a peaceful blend of history and creativity in the heart of Taipei.
Once the tallest building in the world, Taipei 101 stands at 508 meters (1,667 feet) with 101 floors above ground. Completed in 2004, it symbolizes Taiwan’s economic growth and innovation.
Rainbow Walk in Front of Taipei City Hall Located in front of Taipei City Hall, the Rainbow Walk, also known as the “Rainbow Starting Line,” was unveiled in 2020 to symbolize gender equality and diversity. It stands as an important emblem of Taiwan’s LGBTQ+ movement and the country’s progress in supporting equal rights. Every October, it serves as the gathering point for Taiwan’s Pride Parade, where thousands come together to celebrate inclusivity and equality.
National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall Built in 1972, this memorial honors Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the founding father of the Republic of China.

Great day seeing the sights. Food experiences authentic and tasty. Tommy was a great host. Very knowledgeable and welcoming. Biking around city was flat.
This was probably the best bike tour we have done (& we have done a lot of city bike tours!) . What made it amazing was our guide and all the food we got to taste as part of the tour plus the bikes were designed by the actual tour guide and were a pleasure to ride. Taipei is a fascinating city and seeing it by bike is a great way to do it!
Great tour and easy to ride ebikes. Tommy the guide made sure all was good before setting off. Great food stops. Very informative tour.
- Top communication before tour as weather could have changed plans. Tommy was caring guide and bought us ponchos when it rained - bikes were really fun and food tips were excellent
I had such a great day exploring Taipei on this tour. Tommy was a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. We explored all different sides to the city, including historical and cultural sites, all while tasting amazing food along the way. You’d never find these spots if you tried to figure it out alone. The cycling is easy and beginner friendly. Highly recommend finding an opportunity to join this tour!
It was a blast, we visited so many sites and places in Taipei. Eye opening experience, visiting local markets too was amazing. Amazing tour and guide was fantastic
So much fun! Teenage son and I loved cruising around Taipei with Tommy. Tons of varied stops, fantastic food, real talk about life, politics, and history of Taiwan. The ebikes are sleek and easy, a bit of riding on busy streets but felt ok w helmets. Cannot recommend more highly!
This is a very customized tour by a very knowledgeable local guide. The E-bike was state of the art custom designed and simple to use. The tour passed many of the iconic sites in Taipei but stops were also made at the local markets hidden off the beaten track local restaurants (breakfast and lunch) and historical sites. Tommy, the guide really knows his history of the island and enthusiastically shares his knowledge and experience of living and travelling in Taipei. I would highly recommend the tour to anyone that enjoys a delightful bike ride and insiders look into the depths of Taipei!
Fantastic tour with great bikes. This is a great way to see the city and to sample some local food and coffee. You definitely won’t go hungry. Tommy knowledge, enthusiasm and energy was infectious. He explained the history of Taiwan as we pedalled through some lovely districts of Taiwan. The route was well thought out avoiding the very busy roads. Nothing was too much trouble and we were lucky enough to have a few extra stops. Totally exceeded expectations 10/10. Thanks Tommy.
What a great way to discover Taipei. An ideal cycling city and with Tommy’s self-designed electric bikes (also our guide) it was a pleasure to do. Tommy knows how to captivate us with the stories about the history of Taiwan and Taipei. A 5-hour city tour in which a lot is discovered (by us) and told. Breakfast and lunch are included, so you also get what is eaten here. This is something you would never do otherwise, but it was fun to experience and taste. Tommy did the tour in a relaxed way and because the city is quite compact we could see a lot. In short, do not hesitate but do. Highly recommended.
