Jennifer, we were so lucky to have you as our guide. It was such an amazing day! We were truly so impressed by how you could drive and guide at the same time with so much passion, knowledge, and love for your beautiful country. You did absolutely everything to make our day perfect. There was nothing we couldn’t ask for. You had no problem at all changing the itinerary so we could enjoy every single minute exactly the way we wanted. That flexibility and kindness meant so much to us. We feel so happy and grateful and we will definitely recommend you to anyone we know who plans to visit beautiful Taiwan. Thank you so much for helping us create memories that we will treasure forever. You made this trip truly unforgettable!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are very happy to hear that you had such an amazing day in Wulai. Jennifer will be so glad to know that her passion, knowledge, and care made your experience special. We are also happy that the itinerary could be adjusted so you could enjoy every moment in the way you wanted. Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation. We hope to welcome you back to beautiful Taiwan again one day.
Jennifer was our tour guide to a wonderful day in Wulai. Wulai was recommended by a local bar tender in Taipei. We are so glad that we were able to visit this beautiful spot. The memories of this trip will be long lasting! Jennifer was communicative and checked in with us ahead of time. As an LGBTQ+ couple, we felt very safe, and welcomed by Jennifer, which was a great relief as we explored rural Taiwan. (This was true everywhere we went in Taiwan - very LGBTQ+ friendly!!) She picked us up on time in a friendly and welcoming manner. From the get go, she was informative, and asked for our preferences for the tour, quickly reorganizing things so we could have the day suit our interests, while staying on time. Jennifer gave us options for hot spring spots, and showed us the stunning waterfall at Wulai, and the little train that took us to the old street area. We were especially impressed by the indigenous culture, which Jennifer introduced us to. The trip included a visit to the local museum, which we loved. There was time on the tour for conversation with Jennifer, but also for us to explore things on our own. We found a lovely cafe in the old street, and great food. The last part of the tour was visiting the Sun Moon Light hot springs. A beautiful facility with multiple outdoor pools with different temperatures. We loved this spot, and would have liked to stay there longer! The views of the mountains and river from the pool area are incredible. We would love to go back to this relaxing place in the future. Like Jennifer pointed out, “the mountain is always beautiful, no matter if it rains or shines”, we loved this kind of outlook and point of view in life, since the day of our tour was a drizzly winter day, nonetheless a beautiful day, with fog creeping through the mountains! Jennifer drove safely and made us feel comfortable throughout the trip. She offered to take our picture in different spots, and even drew a picture from one of the photos for us. We would love to have Jennifer guide us again in the future throughout Taiwan.
Thank you so much for sharing this lovely and detailed review. We’re very happy to hear that you had such a memorable day in Wulai. It’s wonderful to know that Jennifer made you feel welcomed, safe, and comfortable, and that she was able to tailor the tour to your interests. We’re especially glad you enjoyed the waterfalls, the scenic train, the indigenous culture, and the museum. Wulai truly is a special place, even on a misty, rainy day. Thank you for choosing this tour and for your kind recommendation. We would be delighted to welcome you back to Taiwan and again in the future.
Wulai was beautiful! The mountain srive was ducj a cintrast to the city. We went during a storm but everything was gorgeous in the rain. Fujitsu was a very knowledgeable guide and he made sure we were safe and comfortable even in bad weather. I highly recommend the experience. I
Thanks a bunch for the awesome review! 🌧️ Even the rain couldn’t dampen your Wulai adventure — that’s true traveler spirit! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the mountains, waterfalls, and Fujitsu’s expert (and heroic) guiding through the storm. He’ll be happy to know his umbrella skills paid off! Hope to see you again for another fun (and hopefully sunnier) trip! ☀️🚞🌿
Me and my family had been so looking forward to this trip in Taiwan. I saw jiufen’s photos on internet it makes me get obsessed with it... old street and so on. The highlight of this tour is releasing sky lantern at the Shifen old street, which also a beautiful nostalgic old street. Looking forward to the tour tomorrow (there’re three days)!!!
Jiufen is a beautiful small town at the top of a mountain that faces the ocean and it's also the perfect place to enjoy local cuisine!
