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.
Show moreIch 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!
Show moreThis 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.
