An outstanding tour with YOLO Tour and our guide, Paul, who organized everything smoothly. The highlight was Paul thoughtfully guiding us to the Taipei Grand Mosque for Dhuhr prayer, making it an unforgettable and deeply meaningful experience. Highly recommended!
Caleb was extremely flexible in what we, as tourists, wanted to see. He provided great recommendations and took us to out of the way locations. We had a 9.5 hour layover and are glad that we left the airport to experience a little bit of Taiwan.
We had an 8-hour layover in Taiwan and decided to join the 6-hour day tour. James was amazing and incredibly accommodating. We told him we wanted to see art, temples, and try local food, and he customized the tour to match our interests perfectly. He took us to the peaceful Baoan Temple, where he explained the paintings and taught us about the gods. He also shared fascinating insights into Taiwan's architecture, artistry, and history. We visited Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Taipei 101, the Grand Hotel Taipei, and he pointed out the various government departments and ministry offices around the city. To top off our short trip, and knowing we were foodies, James brought us to places where the locals eat. We visited Dihua Street to try delicious sticky rice and Plantica for the best boba tea we've ever had. It was an unforgettable experience, and we highly recommend this tour—especially with James as your guide!
Junior was the best guide ever!!!! We had limited time and he was able to allow us to see so much! He had great knowledge of the city, speaks English clearly, is so kind, and made for the best short tour possible!! He was always waiting for us after each site to rush us to the next so that we could do more than we expected and got us back to the airport right on time!!
I booked an 8hrs private tour, and Jack’s hospitality, kindness and air conditioned Mercedes were fabulous (it was 92 with humidity). We became friends and shared a great lunch together! We hit every stop on the itinerary with the right amount of time!
I had an amazing layover tour in Taipei! Nicolas Ying did a wonderful job customizing the itinerary based on exactly what I wanted to see and experience. They were knowledgeable, flexible, and made the most of my limited time, ensuring I saw the highlights that mattered most to me. Everything was well organized, and I never felt rushed. I highly recommend this tour to anyone with a layover who wants a personalized and stress-free way to explore Taipei!

The experience my family had was great/amazing. The tour itself was customized and agreed with SEAN WANG. It was very historical , different/informative lessons a person should learn for 6-8 hours which maybe overwhelming but they’re Not. We wish we had more time to explore the beauty , adventures, cultures, food of Taiwan . Our Guide SEAN WANG was very professional, punctual, very detailed and like a real historian:) He knows well his roots, country and his job. Next time we’re back or even a stop over, my family will not hesitate to request SEAN to be our guide again. Thank you so much for the time , information you gave us during our very short stay in Taiwan. See you next time:)
Vincent was an excellent guide—friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. He made the tour enjoyable. He was also very patient and attentive with my senior mother, making sure she was comfortable and included. We truly appreciated his kindness and professionalism.
