Itinerary
Meet your knowledgeable tour guide at your hotel lobby and start your private day tour in Taipei City. Enjoy the flexibility of this private tour and create your own custom-made itinerary with the help of your knowledgeable tour guide. This private tour provides you sightseeing not only in Taipei City but the outskirts of Taipei City like Yehliu Geopark, Shifen Waterfall or Jiufen Old street. If you are first time in Taipei, you can have the classic Taipei City tour to explore the highlights of Taipei City and schedule as follows: Begin your day trip at the most well known Longshan Temple, learn the culture & religions of Taiwan and admire the ancient architecture built in 1738.
The most prominent historical landmark in Taiwan, the CKS Memorial Hall was erected in honor and memory of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, the former President of the Republic of China, and was opened in 1980 as part of a national park and gathering area. A huge complex includes the Liberty Square, National Theatre and the Memorial Hall where you can see the show of guard exchange.
Dihua Street has been an important centre for commerce in Taiwanese products and produce such as Chinese medicinal herbs, fabrics, incense materials, and for the post-processing of Taiwanese tea since 1850s. This street offers visitors a glimpse of mid-19th century Taipei as well as the city’s thriving artistic side.
Built in 1969, the complex contains the main shrine, as well as the famous guard changing ceremony. Most visitors will leave the area as soon as the guard changing is complete, but be sure to walk inside and explore the fascinating and beautiful Chinese architecture.
Founded in the Beijing Forbidden City in 1925, the National Palace Museum moved to Taipei's Shilin District in 1949 and opened in 1965. Over 600,000 key artifacts were relocated to Taiwan to preserve them during the Chinese Civil War. Visit the museum to explore the collection—admission is optional. Note: The museum is closed on Mondays.
Discover Taiwan's iconic landmark, once the tallest building in the world from 2004 to 2010! Feel free to enjoy stunning views from outside for free, or take it to the next level by visiting the observatories on the 89th floor (at your own expense). Come experience the marvels of this architectural wonder!
This option offers a great vantage point to enjoy the Taipei City skyline and the iconic Taipei 101. The trail includes a roughly 40-minute stair climb—about 25 minutes to go up and 15 to come down—but trust us, the breathtaking panoramic view from the top is completely worth it! If you're not into the climb, no worries—just ask your driver or guide for other options. Maybe relax at a cozy café and enjoy a bubble tea, hot coffee, or some delicious local snacks instead. Both adventure and relaxation await!

We had a really good time during our layover in taiwan. Thanks to bubble who drove us and became our tour guide. He was really accommodating and assisted us in all venues. He made sure we visited all our intended itineraries specially those that are a bit far from the city. Highly recommended!
A wonderful experience. Mr Wand our guide did an excellent job of showing us his city. He showed us so much history. we even got to watch the changing of the guards at the National Revolutionary Martyra Shrine. A great experience. Such an amazing tour made possible by Mr Wand. Thank you,
Paul was great for families, so great that I asked my mom if I could write a review myself. He spoke great English, he was funny, he shared lots of stories about taiwan history, he took us anywhere we wanted to go, and provided lots of info for every place. He was great for families and an awesome guide. I would leave a 6 star review if I could. (Written by a 11 or old)
Sean was amazing. Very patient with us . Was very knowledgeable of all the sights and answered all our questions. His driving was fabulous. Sean is the man can’t go wrong booking his tour
Paul made my tour very enjoyable. He was very knowledgeable regarding the history and went at a comfortable pace. I was able to see the things I was most interested in seeing. Paul had very good English and we had a wonderful lunch!
We had the best time with our guide Junior yesterday. We got to learn about Taiwans history and culture. We saw so many temples. We also got to go to Taipei 101. We decided to eat lunch there because it had a food court with a lot of options. Junior was kind enough to offer to take our photos along the way. The car was comfortable and he always kept the AC going because it was such a hot day. Taipei was so beautiful and our tour was great!
We had a wonderful day exploring Taipei with our guide Vincent. He was so welcoming and friendly. Vincent took us to the best places to eat. We travelled as a family, so it was lovely that Vincent was able to accomodate our diverse interests as a family. Would definitely recommend him as a guide. We only wish that we had more time to explore other parts of Taiwan.
Our private tour guide was Nicolas. I can sit here and write a book of how great he was, but it I’ll keep it shorter and to the facts. On a scale of 1 thru 10, 10 being best: Per our pre tour communication Nicolas scores a 10. Locations chosen, he listened attentively 10. Answering our questions, he answered not most but ALL our questions, and I know some history, again another 10. Choices of places to eat, we asked for authentic Taiwanese, another 10. After tour, I have to give him another 10. He even took time after to send us additional links of other locations to eat during our time. Nicolas, thank you for taking such good care of us! You will be remembered!
Our private city tour of Taipei was fantastic. Our driver/guide, Sean, was excellent with his knowledge of history and where to go. I would highly recommend.

Highlights included the National Museum, a tea tasting, and lunch where he introduced us to the local cuisine. Nicholas was knowledgeable regarding Taiwan historical events as well as providing a glimpse into daily life. We had a very enjoyable day!
