We hadn't seen that many family friendly tours on the web, but this one is such a good idea! Our guide Sandy was fabulous, she was great with the kids and had planned the tour really well. She definitely took all of our details into account and the tour felt completely customised to us. It was so much easier having someone bubbly and fun to show us around and take the pressure off abit, and the kids loved her too. Definitely recommend this to any families! We wouldn't have seen half as many kid friendly spots if it weren't for Sandy!

We had a great time. Kevin has had such an interesting life so far, and his worldly experiences added flavor to his stories and the history of Taipei and Taiwan.

Ich hatte einen großartigen Tag mit Vila! Ich habe viel gesehen und erlebt und sehr viel erfahren über Geschichte, das heutige Taiwan bis hin zu heimischen Gerichten, die ich in einem einheimischen Lokkal auch genießen konnte. Eine Top Empfehlung! Danke Vila! I had a fantastic day with Vila! I saw and experienced a lot, and learned a great deal about history, modern-day Taiwan, and even local dishes, which I was able to enjoy in a local restaurant. Highly recommended! Thank you, Vila!

This was a great experience exploring Taipei's night market for the first time. I really appreciated having a local guide who could communicate with the street vendors. The meat buns from the Michelin Star place was probably my favorite food the entire evening. I also really appreciated the guide giving me a tour of a local temple while providing cultural and historical context about it. This was overall a great evening.

The tour involved two night markets in Taipei. Mr. Green was very knowledgeable and flexible. He explained local history, took me to the best place to eat in each market, and ensured that I experienced the local culture.
