David, my host, was a great communicator. He contacted me frequently to ensure I had everything I needed to find the meetup point and to confirm I knew how to get back. He is very knowledgeable about the City of Taipei and its culture. We spent a considerable amount of time at the Longshan Buddhist Temple. It was enlightening and an amazing experience. I have so much more understanding of it. The city is culturally rich and vibrant. I highly recommend David if you would like an inside look!

Alec is very knowledgeable and I learned so much more from him than I would have just visiting these places myself. The tour was very enjoyable and enlightening.

What you’ll do

You’ll join one of our local Taipei hosts for a take to the streets, or mountains for that matter, of Taipei - your wish is our command!

 

Amidst the hustle and bustle, you’ll fall in love with the flavors, sounds, colors, and inherent spirituality of Taiwan’s capital. It’s like a concentrated hub of intoxicating extremes, and your host can’t wait to share the very best of their home city with you.

Depending on the timing of your experience, you might like to check out the Shilin and Raohe night markets, climb Elephant Mountain for stellar views over the city, shop in trendy Ximending, or get close to nature in Yangmingshan National Park.

It’s all about doing Taipei, your way, remember? Our hosts provide insight, giving your adventures some local authenticity, but you dictate the pace. We’re excited. Are you excited?
