Itinerary
Picture this: a skyscraper so tall, it's practically waving hello to the clouds! Taipei 101 isn't just a building; it's the Beyoncé of towers, towering over the competition like a giant among ants. With an elevator that zooms up faster than your morning coffee kicks in, and views that'll make your jaw drop faster than a bad punchline, it's a must-see marvel that'll have you saying "101 reasons why I love Taipei!"
For foodies, Dihua Street is a culinary haven, offering a wide array of traditional Taiwanese snacks, street food, and local delicacies. You can indulge in mouth-watering treats like oyster omelets, braised pork rice, and traditional pastries, providing a delightful culinary experience.
Step into a world where ancient traditions meet modern marvels at Longshan Temple, Taipei's crown jewel of spiritual beauty! With its intricate architecture, centuries-old history, and vibrant atmosphere, Longshan Temple isn't just a sight to see—it's a journey through time. From its ornate rooftops to the tranquil courtyards, every corner holds a story waiting to be discovered. Come experience the heartbeat of Taipei's cultural soul and see why Longshan Temple is a must-visit destination unlike any other!
Step into history and grandeur at the iconic Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall! Unlike any other landmark, it's not just a monument—it's a living testament to Taiwan's rich heritage and political legacy. Marvel at the imposing architecture, immerse yourself in the serene gardens, and witness the changing of the guard ceremony—a spectacle that'll leave you in awe. With us, it's not just a visit; it's an unforgettable journey through time and culture.
Walking into Bopiliao Historical Block is like walking into a movie set where the director yelled “action” about 200 years ago and never yelled “cut.” The bricks are weathered into deep shades of red and orange, and the afternoon sun bounces off them like warm light in a period drama. Every corner seems to tell a story, merchants selling herbs, families cooking behind carved wooden windows, a paper lantern swaying slightly in the breeze. Of course, now you might see a couple taking wedding photos in front of those same walls, or a tourist (hi, that’s me) stopping every 5 feet to stare at the texture of a doorframe. Bopiliao doesn’t try to impress you with flash. It’s more like an old friend telling you a good story, one detail at a time.

Our tour was in TaiPei City, Taiwan with Viator . Our tour guide , Mr. Young Lin was outstanding. We had so many good experiences in a very short time and he was a brilliant and knowledgeable tour director, a real gentleman with inexhaustible energy and offered us a memorable experience. He wanted to show us this wonderful city, but also to have us let him know what we wanted to see as well. It was a perfect competition. We loved our wonderful lunch and his personal and sincere care of us during the day. Please ask for him in the future if you ever want something outstanding in terms of falling in love with the city that he loves.

We had a fantastic private tour in Taipei with Jennifer. Everything was perfectly organized from the start, and communication was smooth and professional. The tour focused on Taipei itself, which was exactly what we wanted. Jennifer guided us through the city highlights in a very efficient and well-structured way, making the most of our time. She is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, and explained many cultural and historical details in a clear and engaging way. We especially appreciated her flexibility and how she adapted the pace to us. The entire day felt relaxed, personal, and very well planned. We would highly recommend this tour and especially Jennifer to anyone who wants to explore Taipei in a comfortable and insightful way.

We had a very good tour of Taipei. We saw all the sights described, would be good if the 8 hour tour included lunch. Always challenging to find a guide who speaks fluent English in Taiwan.
Evan, our guide & driver provided a wonderful experience in Taipei. He met us at the cruise terminal which was a must. Over the course of the day, he demonstrated his knowledge of the sights, history, customs, religious traditions, and people of the region. We had many different experiences with him. Ate with locals in tiny noodle spot, wondered around 101, rode underground, watched changing of guard at Chiang Kai-Shek memorial, visited active temples, walked extensively around local sidewalk shops and neighborhoods. All in all, a tireing but very exciting day. In addition to his knowledge, Evan was a very nice, personable man. It was our pleasure to spend the day with him.
We booked this tour through Get Your Guide, and we loved every part of it from start to finish. Several days before the tour, Jennifer reached out to us, and we were able to discuss all the important details with her in advance. It was very important to us to have a customized full‑day experience, because we wanted to see not only Taipei but also the beautiful coastal scenery of Taiwan. Jennifer made exactly that possible for us. In the morning, we were able to visit Heping Island Geopark and the Wangyou Valley, both of which were absolute highlights. Afterwards, we headed to Taipei, where several exciting spots were on our itinerary. Jennifer not only brought us safely and comfortably from place to place, but also took wonderful care of us the entire day and shared all the essential insights and information. We had a truly fantastic day. Thank you so much, dear Jennifer!

Jennifer will be thrilled to hear your kind words—her care, knowledge, and dedication truly make each tour special.

Excelent tour! Our guide Shang was awsome !!
Thank you for the 5-star review! We are glad you enjoyed our Keelung Shore Excursion to Taipei Private tour. Hope to see you again for your next Taiwan adventure. Safe travels!
This was a top-notch tour from beginning to end. Benson picked us up in a comfortable vehicle and took us to many historic and cultural sites. He supplied plentiful information and was able to get us up close to each attraction with ease. I left a jacket in the van at the end of the tour, and he was kind enough to ship it back to the USA. I can't recommend him highly enough to anyone visiting Taipei. He will not disappoint.
We’re delighted to hear that you had such a memorable day on your Keelung Shore Excursion with Benson. He truly takes pride in creating personalized experiences, and your kind words about his knowledge, flexibility, and care mean a great deal to us. We’re especially happy everything worked out with your jacket — that’s exactly the level of service we strive to provide even after the tour ends. Thank you again for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back to Taipei on a future visit!
We had a terrific private tour with Evan, who picked us up from the Keelung cruise port. We saw more of Taipei than we ever expected to be able to, including Taipei 101 tower and mall. Memorial Hall, Liberty Square plus changing of the guard, an MRT ride, Dihua Street (old town), lunch (self-paid), and Lungshan Temple. Given the timing of our visit, we also got to enjoy decorations celebrating Chinese New Year as well as the beautiful cherry blossoms. Evan was such a thoughtful and informative guide, and we really loved our tour. We were dropped off at the airport in plenty of time for our 10pm flight. I highly recommend this tour!
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad you had a fantastic day in Taipei with Evan and enjoyed such a full experience before your flight. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him. Thank you for your recommendation—we hope to welcome you back to Taiwan again! ✨
