Super fun day trip out of Taipei. Met some wonderful people felt like we’ve been fast friends and still keeping in touch with them a week after meeting them and all of us have gone off to our separate locations. The Geo Park was beautiful and the hike with the steps literally felt like the Great Wall of Taipei, according to my guide the night market was fun and delicious. I would highly recommend this.
Itinerary was a great mix of nature with social which brought us to visit wonderful natural sights such as the bitou cape park and also walked the Keelung night market as the social part. The itinerary description should indicate upfront that there are some hiking required at bitou cape park because that involved quite a fair bit of climbing up and down stairs. The Keelung night market should allow more time for us to walk around and explore because one hour allocated just to look at food stalls and shopping was definitely not enough especially for those who visited this night market for the first time.
Aaron is a very charming tour guide and so informative! Today was mostly about bring one with nature. A beautiful hike along the coast line to an equally beautiful geo park with fascinating rock formations. Then to the picturesque rainbow houses of Taipei and finished off with the night market. Thank you for a wonderful day!
Aaron was great. He went out of his way to help us navigate the restaurant menu as my partner has food intolerances plus need a gluten free meal. He was wonderful going to the kitchen to get them to undertake and prepare a delicious meal. The tour with him was fun as he went thru history etc. The views as spectacular.
It was a refreshing experience to feel the nature of Taiwan. I was very happy to see the colorful house, go to the night market and eat delicious seafood. It is a walking tour, so comfortable sneakers, light clothing and a backpack are recommended. You may also want to bring a raincoat or umbrella. The weather is changeable in autumn.
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed experiencing Taiwan’s nature, seeing the colorful houses, visiting the night market, and tasting delicious seafood. Your tips about wearing comfortable shoes, light clothing, carrying a backpack, and bringing a raincoat or umbrella are very helpful for future guests, especially in autumn when the weather can change quickly.
VERY DISAPONTIING! The tour operator refused to cancel even with bad weather. We had to climb more than 2000 steps in a rainstorm and more than 25mph winds. It was very dangerous! We were all frozen and soaking wet. But wait, there were several more stops where we got wet and had to wait for the guide to come back because he kept disappearing. Overall it was a miserable experience. Also they never told us to have cash, because the lunch place did not take credit card. Also they changed the meeting point last minute and it was a cluster with everyone trying to find the guide. I emailed them the day before and day of and 8 times and they never responded. Very poorly organized and even worse communication. Buyer BEWARE!

Jason is a 10! I thought that this would be a tour where we were taken to different places to get great photos. I had no idea that he was going to run around and take pictures of us. I made connections with some really great people and had really rich conversations throughout the day. The one constructive piece I would give the tour team is that the tour should suggest to wear good walking shoes because we hiked all the way up the mountain… And then back down.
That's absolutely fantastic! We're thrilled Jason earned a perfect "10" not just for guiding, but for running around and ensuring you got those great photos—he clearly redefined your expectations of a tour!
Although my original tour was cancelled, the company organised another tour to Yilan. Great tour guide Peter. Professional and knowledge. I enjoyed the tour. Thanks again.
It's recommended to go on this tour if you have limited time in Taipei and would like to go to Keelung still. The van was cozy so my friend and I enjoyed lots. We were lucky the weather wasn't too bad tho, heard it rains quite often in the city.
This tour is meant more for summer time not to do during winter time i had to skip one or two places as the weather doesn’t allow and we could not do the night market as it was too early and had head back to the hotel. i think this company need to indicate certain specifications in the tour itinerary as to when is it a good time to go However our tour guide Mr Anderson was nice and accommodating. I booked a pte tour paid more but i ended tour early and also no water provided i would not recommend this company
