A great way to get our bearings and get us out and walking! It’s just your group and the guide so no one around even really notices your tour. We’re learned a lot about the history of the area and how to get around. Our guy was very personable and friendly. It was definitely a good pick of a tour!
We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the private walking experience, found it a great way to get your bearings, and appreciated being out and about without crowds around. It’s fantastic to know you learned a lot about the history of the area and how to get around, and that your guide was personable and friendly throughout the experience.
David, my host, was a great communicator. He contacted me frequently to ensure I had everything I needed to find the meetup point and to confirm I knew how to get back. He is very knowledgeable about the City of Taipei and its culture. We spent a considerable amount of time at the Longshan Buddhist Temple. It was enlightening and an amazing experience. I have so much more understanding of it. The city is culturally rich and vibrant. I highly recommend David if you would like an inside look!
We’re pleased to hear that David’s proactive communication and on-the-ground expertise supported a seamless and insightful visit. We appreciate your strong recommendation and should you plan future explorations, we’d be glad to help curate another impactful experience.
This was a last minute decision on my part & I’m glad I did it. I was in Taipei for work & only had a few hours to spare before I flew out. I was matched with a lovely local girl called Charlotte. I loved how the walk was tailored to my interests. Everywhere she took me it was things I was interested in. Charlotte is a really friendly personable girl, so easy to ask her questions & have a great conversation with her, I really appreciated her local knowledge but also her bright bubbly personality. Such a great way to see a city being guided by a local, I thoroughly recommend it!
We’re thrilled to hear your spontaneous tour in Taipei with Charlotte turned out to be such a wonderful experience! It’s great that her warmth, local insight, and personalized approach made your short visit so memorable. Thank you for your kind words and recommendation!
My tour guide Alice was amazing in organizing everything we could do in three hours, and she was also cognizant of me getting to the airport for my flight. I saw historic sights, ate amazing breakfast and lunch. She was such a kind and informative guide! I truly enjoyed my experience my last day in Taipei.
We’re so happy to hear your last day in Taipei with Alice was such a memorable one! It’s wonderful that she made the most of your time with historic sights, delicious food, and thoughtful care for your schedule. Thank you for your lovely feedback!
Completely customizable. VIila was an ncredibly responsive and personable guide. She introduced us to shops and experiences we could never have found on our own
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled that Viila made your experience so unique and memorable. It's wonderful that she could introduce you to those hidden gems, just the kind of personalized touch we love to offer!

Quick little tour with good insight on government, history, food, culture and the sights downtown. Need to be fit enough to walk the adventure and ride the metro
Your positive review is incredibly valuable to us. Thank you sincerely!
Green was awesome!! He was so kind to bring our infant daughter a Taipei flag colored pinwheel and everything. He was very nice, did a great job leading us around the city - we had a great time walking all around Taipei!!
Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad to hear you had a wonderful time exploring Taipei with Green. It's great to know he made the experience extra special for your daughter as well. We appreciate your feedback and are happy you enjoyed the tour!
This review is for the 6hr tour. Megan was our tour guide and she was best. She was so kind and accommodating. We didn't have a private car to take us around so we had to take the train between locations but Megan made it easy and we were able to spend a good amount of time at each location (we went to Taipei 101, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial, Dalangdong Baoan Temple, and a night market). I highly recommend this your if you don't know where to go or how to navigate the train very well haha
Hi! I am so happy to hear that Megan did it again! She is a great host and always tries her very best to personalize the experience for our guests. Your review has brightened our day. Your support means the world!
Garen is a wonderful guide, who explains not just the food of Taiwan but also the history and culture. Touring the market was a perfect introduction to the tastings that followed. Garen was able to customize the tour to my particular interests -- much appreciated.
Hi Stuart, Garen and our Team at City Unscripted are touched by your positive review. Thanks for choosing us and we look forward to welcoming you back.
