Pauline is extremely knowledgeable and welcoming. We learned a lot about the local history and culture. What we learned carried a long way in our following days in Taipei. We asked about culture, local activities and Pauline answered in great details with passion. Food Tastings were absolutely amazing and delicious. Prepare to be full!
Garen is truly amazing, passionate about her country, and she explains how the Taiwanese people evolved their food, influenced by its rich history. Not only will you taste excellent food, but you will learn about the food history, and the very rich history of Taiwan! I highly recommend booking this food tour with Garen.
This is a must do tour!! Pauline was amazing!! She took us to places we would never have found in our own. She shares insights on history, culture and all the delicious dishes. Thank you for a great experience!
My husband and I booked the “Award-Winning Private Food Tour of Taipei: The 10 Tastings” with Garen in April. We have taken many private tours around the globe and Garen ranks with the best. In short, she was the high point of our trip. Not only did we get a taste of great local Taiwanese food, but along the way Garen shared her insights into Taiwanese culture. We felt like we were experiencing Taiwan with a generous, well-informed friend. You really couldn’t ask for more in a guide. Thank you, Garen!
What a lovely tour with June. She knows Taipei but, more importantly, she knows her food. It was incredible!
My husband, daughter, and I booked this tour during our 24-hour stopover in Taipei, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Judy was an exceptional guide who thoughtfully introduced us to a wide variety of local cuisine and shared excellent recommendations. We enjoyed exploring local markets, learning about Taiwanese food culture, and sampling an impressive range of dishes, desserts, and beverages. The places she selected were clearly popular with locals, giving us an authentic experience that we would not have discovered on our own. We left with full stomachs, wonderful memories, and a deeper appreciation for Taipei’s vibrant culinary scene.
Wonderful guide, June. Very informative with detailed explanations. We learnt so much about the food & history. Tasting a wide range of food & drinks. Excellent tour. Thank you so much.
Garen was a wonderful guide. She was knowledgeable on all the foods, and taught us much about the customs and history of Taipei and Taiwan.
Great tour! June shared Taipei’s history while we tried local delicacies. She engaged all members of my party with positively and understanding. My four 18-year olds are still referencing the tour and June.
June was fabulous fun, lots of different food to try and a few tea stops. As we wandered around the little lanes if we saw something that looked interesting she was happy to stop and explain. We also got a Taiwanese history lesson, very interesting.
