Charlie was a great guide. He met us at our hotel, he was early! Despite the weather (lots of rain in June) he took us to numerous spots and made our day wonderful. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great day in Kaohsiung.

We were impressed with our guide Aaron even before the tour began. He contacted us the evening before to give us clear instructions on the meeting place. Due to adverse sea conditions we were arriving earlier than expected & staying overnight. With no time constraints for getting back to the ship, Aaron offered to change the timings of the tour if we so desired. We really appreciated this. Aaron was waiting for us when we got off the ship & our tour of Kaohsuing city began in his clean air conditioned car. After seeing the sights of the city, we headed out to Fo Guang Shan Monastery where we spent the next few hours. What a magnificent place it is! From there we headed out to the Dragon & Tiger Pagodas & the many (often crazy) Daoism temples surrounding Lotus Pond. Throughout the day we were given so much information on the history & culture of Kaohsuing, which made it extremely rewarding. A tour not to be missed.

So happy with this experience spending the day with Ben. He was patient, entertaining and adapted the tour to suit our needs. It was a great way to see a number of sights in this city when we only had a limited amount of time.

We had a great time with our tour guide Charlie Lee. He spoke English for me and Mandarin to my parents. He was very knowledgeable and kind- and very patient and thoughtful. My father is elderly and can’t get around easily so he made sure to accommodate for us. He had water, tissues, umbrellas and even lychee treats for us for the trip. Our favorite was the Buddha museum, the would recommend this tour!
A four-hour stay at Bukko-ji is too long. I understand that half the time there means that Kaohsiung has few tourist resources.
We had a full day tour with Gary, Gary was wonderful and very knowledgeable. My sister had a mobility scooter and he was very careful to take us to places we could all enjoy. Had a terrific local lunch and highly recommend you tour with Gary. He makes the visit to taiwan memorable.
Had a great visit Kaohsiung. The full day tour was awesome. Very knowledgeable tour guide and we saw the highlights plus had some very local food.
