Charlie was the most amazing driver/guide/person we could have ever hoped for. I could spend the whole day writing about our day out with him. We had the most incredible experience with our driver in Kaohsiung. From the moment he picked us up, he was kind, patient, professional, and genuinely cared about making our day special. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw everything we wanted, adjusted the itinerary to fit our interests, and never once made us feel rushed. He taught us so much about this beautiful country. He took us through beautiful countryside, temples, Monkey Mountain, and hidden scenic spots we never would have found on our own. His driving was safe and smooth the entire day, and he was so thoughtful and accommodating with my family. You can tell he truly takes pride in what he does. What stood out most was his kindness and heart. This did not feel like a standard tour — it felt like spending the day with someone who genuinely wanted us to fall in love with Taiwan. We absolutely did. If you are considering booking this tour, do it. This was the highlight of our entire trip, and we will remember this experience forever. Thank you for such an amazing day and for treating us with so much warmth and care. Highly, highly recommended! We love you, Charlie!

We had a delightful day with Robin! We were in contact beforehand to arrange what we would most like to see and Robin arranged this into the day in a logical sequence and so things never felt rushed. It was a great way to see viewpoints and places we couldn’t have managed alone. We saw: - the giant Buddha - lotus pond / tiger and dragon pavilion - amazing beef noodle lunch - the dagan bridge swing open at 3pm - pier 2 area - monkeys on monkey mountain - viewpoint across the city from high point - view across the harbour from Xiziwan

We believe that a custom tour should feel seamless and unhurried, especially when visiting such a diverse range of sites—from the spiritual atmosphere of the Giant Buddha to the fun of seeing the monkeys on Shoushan (Monkey Mountain)! I am also glad you got to witness the Dagang Bridge swing—it’s a local highlight that requires perfect timing—and that you enjoyed a classic beef noodle lunch. I will certainly pass your kind words along to Robin; he will be encouraged to know his planning helped you see so many viewpoints and landmarks that would have been difficult to manage alone. We hope to welcome you back to Taiwan to explore even more of our beautiful island in the future! —Lawson @ YOLO Taiwan
Nice tour from Robin covering all the things we wanted to see. Most official and commercial signs were also in English. Robin’s English was ok. As we had temporary mobility problems. Robin was superb in limiting the waking I had to do. He even found a wheelchair for me on our biggest tour site - wonderful.
