Our guide spoke very little English. We finally gave up and asked to be taken back to ship . I tried emailing company with no response. Tomorrow we are scheduled to have another tour from Keelung. Will anyone show up? Will they speak English? Very disappointed.
Thank you for sharing this feedback, and we’re very sorry your Kaohsiung tour was disappointing. A guide with limited English is not the experience we intend to provide. We sincerely apologize for the frustration this caused, as well as for not responding to your emails at the time. We’re glad you still joined the Taipei tour and that it went much better. Your comments have been shared with our team so we can improve our guide matching and communication.
Excellent tour. Joseph Chien was one of the best tout guides we have had. He took is to dome very cool places and was very knowledgeable about everything.
We created our own agenda. (My son lived in Taiwan a short time ago and made a list for me.) Overall, we accomplished everything we set out to do. Chin communicated well before the trip and as we arrived by cruise ship where he met us. He made it easy to find him!
Thank you for your review! We’re happy to hear that you could follow your own agenda and visit all the places on your list. It’s great that Chin’s communication and meeting you at the cruise port made everything smooth and easy. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again on another tour in Taiwan!
