Great day with Steven! We wanted to bit of an adventure for our day and he took us on some nice hikes explaining the history of the areas, to a very local restaurant with fresh seafood (who knew how many types of crab are caught in Taiwan!) and to the Yehliu Geopark which was almost like walking on the moon with fossils! Highly recommended!

Charlotte planned a great tour of Taipei for me and hanging out with her was like hanging out with an old friend! She explained a lot about the history of Taiwan and also took me to a night market to try some new foods! Would absolutely recommend booking this tour!

Megan is knowledgeable and it was really helpful to sightsee with a local especially if you’re looking for a short tour during a layover with limited time.
