Tony and Florence were absolutely wonderful and made our first visit to Taipei and asia one of the best. Florence spoke english very well and gave us great historical insights about Taipei. She helped me choose a great itinerary that gave us the best and made the most of our 8 hour tour. They put in 120% effort into making us feel very comfortable and made our experience effortless. They even took lots of pictures of us, and gave us research an out the places off their own cellphones. I highly recommend the Taipei city private tour and will definitely use them again when I come back to do tours some of the nearby towns.

Fun day in Taipei! My husband and I enjoyed the tour with Thomas our guide. He was knowledgeable and very nice/accommodating. Learned some history of the town and enjoyed some rice noodle soup, traditional tea tasting, mango shaved ice, and bubble tea from the original shop! The time of the tour could be cut down a bit, in my opinion, but would recommend booking a tour with this company.
Thank you for your kind review! We’re so glad you and your husband enjoyed exploring Taipei with Thomas and tasting so many delicious local foods. We appreciate your feedback about the tour length and will keep it in mind. We’re happy you would recommend us and hope to see you again on another adventure in Taiwan!
