Relaxing Ride

Vincent arrived early in a very clean and comfortable vehicle. It was a bit of a splurge to have a private driver, but it was very much worth it for such a long, full day.

Sun Moon Lake One-day Tour

I recently visited Sun Moon Lake and highly recommend it if you're looking for a beautiful and serene place to experience in Taiwan. I had a wonderful one-day tour from Taipei with my guide, Danny. He made the long journey feel effortless, and we visited several key spots, including Wenwu Temple, Shuishe Pier, Xuangguang Pier, Ita Thao Pier, and Ci'en Pagoda.

Sun Moon lake private day tour (leaving from Taipei)

Justin was a great driver and guide. We asked him to make adjustments to the itinerary which he accommodated. He told us about unique things and facts. He took photos for us, so we could all be included. He made sure that we had the better glass bottom gondola, which was neat. I would recommend Justin and the private tour to family and friends. Very nice experience. We wish it could have been a little bit longer, but we understood what we were getting.

Wonderful day trip to Sun Moon Lake and Wenwu temple

Our driver and your guide, Justin, did a fantastic job touring us around Sun Moon Lake and Wenwu temple as a day trip from Taipei. The advance and clear communication about pick up, timing and other expectations was very much appreciated. The electric bike ride was my favorite. The color of the water is a shade of blue that is very unique for a lake in warm climates. The Wenwu temple is also a unique temple with the iconic lion-dragon statues. I also enjoyed the green rock structures / carvings that was a surprise you cannot necessarily see from photos from the front view of the temple.

Not worth private day trip

Day private trip is not worth money & time at all as sun moon lake is not something great except one stays overnight to enjoy lake serenity away from the city hustle bustle, mostly suitable for Taiwanese week end break.

Operator response

Thank you very much for your evaluation.It happens when you don't like the scenery of Moon Lake, not because of our bad service. ccording to the English tour guide who served you that day, the weather was hot and you just strolled around the lake casually. You didn't take a boat tour or ride a bicycle, and you were not willing to experience various activities. Is our service bad? It's so unfair to rate us one star. Sun Moon Lake is a famous scenic spot in Taiwan. You can't just leave such a bad review if you don't like it. Maybe you should understand the whole situation before placing an order.

Relaxing and enriching experience

We had an unforgettable day trip to Sun Moon Lake from Taipei with a private driver, and it exceeded all expectations. The 3-hour drive (one-way) was comfortable and scenic. Upon arrival, we visited three stunning spots around the lake: the iconic Wenwu Temple, the serene Xuanguang Temple, and the picturesque Ita Thao Village. Each stop provided breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. For lunch, we dined at a local restaurant that served delicious Taiwanese delicacies. The meal was a perfect reflection of the region’s flavours. Overall, it was a relaxing and enriching experience that we would highly recommend to anyone visiting Taiwan!

Rent a car and drive by yourself

This tour are limit scam, you pay $350 fine but you have to pay for the parking space mean don’t see why we have to pay that, after its only a drive you have to do everything by your own and then if on the way back they have traffic you have to pay an extra 500 for the car. I will agree to be charged if i ask something extra but not for something im not responsible.

Operator response

Hello, your comment is far from the truth. First, your travel date is December 1st (Sunday). Our product descriptions are very detailed. It takes 3 hours to drive from Taipei City to Sun Moon Lake and 6 hours to go back and forth, so there are only 4 hours left in Sun Moon Lake. It was a holiday that day, and the driver of our company reported to me that there was a serious traffic jam on the way back to Taipei after the trip to Sun Moon Lake, which resulted in two hours of overtime work. Depending on the product content, an overtime fee of NT$1,000 will be charged. Since you don’t want to pay, just tip the driver 500 yuan. Drivers also agreed there would be no mandatory overtime pay. I hope you will read the description of the product content carefully when you have time and don't say this is a scam. Customers we have served before have given us great reviews.
