Nice tour of Taichung

We covered many of the highlights in Taichung, with a very knowledgeable guide. There were very interesting bits of trivia along the way, which were enjoyable. You learn about the history behind the city and some of the buildings in it, and also got to know some nice pastry shops in town. It's worth your while.

Taichung Old Town Tour

Although we had to spend the 5/1 trip on foot because of the rain, the tour guide Shine vividly introduced the culture, history and local food of Downtown Taichung, allowing us to experience it in a more in-depth way, which was impressive. .

Very great experience

Tour guide Christine's explanation is very detailed She is very friendly and I feel she is passionate about Taichung culture She also prepared a ppt to supplement the relevant information of the scenic spots. Make the explanation more detailed There are also many small questions and answers along the way, which increases the interaction of the journey and makes this guided tour more interesting. And her English is very fluent and there is no communication barrier at all A guided tour of just 2 hours is better than a paid tour Highly recommend everyone to participate!!

First time taking a guided tour

It was my first time to participate in this kind of guided tour. I really learned a lot. From Taichung Railway Station to the nearby store culture, I was able to learn more about it. I also learned that things that I thought were ordinary things actually contained many stories. Inside, I am very grateful to Jiahao for taking me on this itinerary. The introduction was smooth and detailed, allowing me to better understand the culture and history of Taichung.
