Hi there! I'm Winnie, a local host in the fantastic city of Taipei. This city has so much to offer, from its rich culture and history to its museums full of artifacts from thousands of years ago, not to mention its friendly people and unforgettable food experiences. And let's not forget the excellent metro system that makes getting around a breeze. When I'm not exploring the local museums, I love visiting the seaport city and checking out the open-air markets. And, of course, I can never get enough of the delicious food here in Taipei. So whether you're interested in learning about the city's history and culture or just looking for some fun and food, I'm your gal! I'm an expert when it comes to finding exciting attractions and great open-air markets, and I can't wait to show you the best of Taipei.

Winnie showed us Lin family grounds and home. It was something very unusual and a site we would never have discovered on our own. The Longshan Temple gave us insight into religious life. Lunch was a great treat. Very filling and delicious.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a city tour in Taipei, and it exceeded all my expectations. Winnie, my tour host was well-organized, introducing me to a perfect blend of cultural immersion, historical insight, traditional foods and shopping. In the 5 hours we managed to comfortably see Lin A Taipei historical house, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, changing of the guards followed by the beautiful Longshan Temple. Winnie provided a terrific overview of Taipei's charm in the short time I had available. Highly recommended this tour!

Winnie is a real pro! She knows her stuff. We packed in so much in our half day tour. She showed us so much, and we really learned a lot about the history and the culture. She set us up to be able to use the metro throughout our trip, which I don't think we would have ventured into without her guidance. Five Stars! Would definitely recommend.
