Taipei Amazing... !!!

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.

Highly recommend this customizable tour

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.
