Paul was the best driver and covered everything I wanted to see! He took me to really good lunch and a little car karaoke on the way back.

200% recommend!

The trip was very well organised. Since this was a private tour option, I was given a lot of liberty to chose the destinations and they were very good with accommodating with my special requests. Vincent, my guide is a wonderful guide, very kind, helpful, resourceful, great conversationalist and knows the routes very well. His enthusiasm is infectious! He made my trip so memorable - I have some mobility issues and he was so so helpful! I actually immediately booked another tour with him (talk about good word bringing more work). He is a man of many talents and it really shows in his work as well. He surely clicked the best pictures of my trip to Taiwan! 200% recommend!

I will recommend him to any of my friends back home in America to contact and reach out to Nicholas for his expertise, friendliness, and easy going attitude.

Don't waste your time with other tour services but your trip through Viator. You will not be disappointed.

Our guide was fantastic! She had a nice clean vehicle and had many recommendations for our 10 hour tour. There's no way I could have planned a trip like this in one day. It was fantastic!

Yilan is a wonderful little town!

We had Jackson as out tour guide. It was our first time with our kids and it was our daughter’s birthday. Jackson took us first to a farm where we fed animals and he guided us and helped us get food and took amazing pictures! After that he suggested a wonderful hot spring, a whiskey distillery for my husband and a crayon experience for my daughter. While at the crayon experience he let her draw on him and she still talks about him. Highly recommend!!

Family-friendly Day Trip to Yilan

Vincent Hsu was our tour guide/driver and he meticulously planned our day according to our group of 8. We had grandparents with us as well as four young kids under age 10 and Vincent planned a fun day for all. We started at the Kavalan Distillery, then went to a delicious lunch at Red Lantern (famous for their Cherry Duck), then did Zhang Mei A-Ma’s Farm where we got to feed and take photos with sloths, alpacas, capybaras, kangaroos, and tortoises! We ended our tour with a visit to make green onion bread with the famous Yilan three-star green onion, and while waiting for our handiwork to bake, got to play with fireworks at Vincent’s recommendation for the kids. Vincent was communicative both before, during, and after the tour and a bonus is that he is an excellent photographer and captured so many great moments throughout the day. If we were to take another tour, we would definitely book with Vincent again!

Amazing Time in Yilan!

My boyfriend and I were visiting Taiwan for the first time and wanted to see more outside of Taipei City. From the time of our booking, we got great communication from YOLO Taiwan. Our guide Hink Wang is so amazing! He is so knowledgeable and has a great personality. He took pictures for us and was a great part of making our experience one of a kind. We visited the Kavalan Whisky Distillery, Zhang Mei Ama’s Farm and Mr. Brown Coffee Castle. Everywhere was fabulous! We especially enjoyed Kavalan where we did a tasting and Zhang Mei Ama's Farm where we checked off feeding capybaras off of our bucket list. I'm so glad we chose this custom tour since we got to choose what we wanted to do while also enjoying our ride and guide. Truly a five star experience and totally worth it!

Flexible Kavalan and Yilan tour, love it!

Trip was to check out the Kavalan distillery and the surrounding area. Our tour guide was Henry Huang who was great and professional. Enjoyed his stories and background of the surrounding area. He picked us up at the hotel that we stayed at and was very accommodating as we were finishing up breakfast. We got to Kavalan Distillery ahead of schedule, got a chance to do the blending and tour in a very comfortable manner. As we had little kids with us he took us to a popular animal farm which my little ones thoroughly enjoyed. For lunch, he recommended a restaurant where they specialized in duck, called Red Lantern which I have to say turned out to be awesome. We only had time for 2 stops and that’s what we expected already. I think you can try more stops but that would have been quite a rush. In general, I felt that this tour was great in the sense that our tour guide Henry was very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating (He knew the area very well) and it felt that we were able to customize the tour time frames (how long we wanted to spend at each location) fairly easily. So would definitely recommend and use this tour company again and hopefully get a chance to have Henry again.
