Meet your knowledgeable tour guide at your hotel lobby and start your private day tour in Taipei City. Enjoy the flexibility of this private tour and create your own custom-made itinerary with the help of your knowledgeable tour guide. This private tour provides you sightseeing not only in Taipei City but the outskirts of Taipei City like Yehliu Geopark, Shifen Waterfall or Jiufen Old street. If you are first time in Taipei, you can have the classic Taipei City tour to explore the highlights of Taipei City and schedule as follows: Begin your day trip at the most well known Longshan Temple, learn the culture & religions of Taiwan and admire the ancient architecture built in 1738.
The most prominent historical landmark in Taiwan, the CKS Memorial Hall was erected in honor and memory of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, the former President of the Republic of China, and was opened in 1980 as part of a national park and gathering area. A huge complex includes the Liberty Square, National Theatre and the Memorial Hall where you can see the show of guard exchange.
Dihua Street has been an important centre for commerce in Taiwanese products and produce such as Chinese medicinal herbs, fabrics, incense materials, and for the post-processing of Taiwanese tea since 1850s. This street offers visitors a glimpse of mid-19th century Taipei as well as the city’s thriving artistic side.
Built in 1969, the complex contains the main shrine, as well as the famous guard changing ceremony. Most visitors will leave the area as soon as the guard changing is complete, but be sure to walk inside and explore the fascinating and beautiful Chinese architecture.
Founded in the Beijing Forbidden City in 1925, the National Palace Museum moved to Taipei's Shilin District in 1949 and opened in 1965. Over 600,000 key artifacts were relocated to Taiwan to preserve them during the Chinese Civil War. Visit the museum to explore the collection—admission is optional. Note: The museum is closed on Mondays.
Discover Taiwan's iconic landmark, once the tallest building in the world from 2004 to 2010! Feel free to enjoy stunning views from outside for free, or take it to the next level by visiting the observatories on the 89th floor (at your own expense). Come experience the marvels of this architectural wonder!
This option offers a great vantage point to enjoy the Taipei City skyline and the iconic Taipei 101. The trail includes a roughly 40-minute stair climb—about 25 minutes to go up and 15 to come down—but trust us, the breathtaking panoramic view from the top is completely worth it! If you're not into the climb, no worries—just ask your driver or guide for other options. Maybe relax at a cozy café and enjoy a bubble tea, hot coffee, or some delicious local snacks instead. Both adventure and relaxation await!
Your personal driver-guide will wait for you with a sign (YOLO Taiwan + your name) at the pick-up location.

Nicolas Ying was Great! We were able to adjust the tour sites as the day went on and he was very flexible our changes. We felt by the end of the day that we had seen all the highlights and the best that Taipei had to offer!. Thanks to Nicholas.
An excellent tour. Our driver/guide, Sean, was very knowledgable and let us choose to see the things we wanted to see. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour to friends and family.
What a wonderful day exploring the city. Hicks Wang was our guide - he was very knowledgeable, friendly and capable and ensured that we had the best experience possible. I would thoroughly recommend this tour and definitely give our guide a thumbs up.
Paul 是一位 knowledgeable, experienced,且又風趣的導遊· 一天8個小時的行程安排的非常妥贴· 讓我們今天的台北一日遊的盡興又愉快·
Jennifer showed up early and professional. She is full of energy and strives to help me see as many places as possible as I wished. The private car transport was super convenient. She is very knowledgeable and I would book with her again
This is the way to see the sites. We loved our private tour, the air conditioned car, the kind and knowledgeable guide, and the beautiful city. Thank you.
Hicks was such a good tour guide, he loved this city and showed us a very good time. Highly recommended
The tour was completely amazing. Roger was outstanding!!! I couldn't check in until the afternoon and he was kind enough to move the tour earlier. He knew every section of the city... and the food he recommended... no words... delicious.
We had a great tour. Our tour guide, Steven, picked us up at our hotel and we discussed the itinerary for the day. We chose to do a hybrid tour of both the Northern coast and the city of Taipei. The ride was safe and comfortable. We had plenty of time at all of the stops. Steven added many details and information that made the tour extra special. I would highly recommend this tour.
