What you’ll do

You’ll join one of our local Taipei hosts in Taipei to experience life after dark, local style! And while we all have our own unique way of enjoying a night out, we’d recommend you start yours with a spectacular sunset, either from Taipei 101 or from the peak of Elephant Mountain, closely followed by some serious street food feasting at one of the city’s colorful night markets.

Get lost in the sea of busy locals and eager vendors, feel the buzz of Taipei nightlife and surrender yourself to an evening of crazy and unexpected fun!

Belly full, you could explore one of the city’s famous nightlife areas, like Ximending. Get lost in the crowd, sample the local food, check out the cool shops and admire the blinding neon lights and the animated signs.

Then, the ultimate Taipei nightlife experience - KTV karaoke (if you’re not ready to share your talent with the world yet that’s okay, you can have your own private booth).

But whether your idea of a good time is bar-hopping, a whole lot of eating, or something a little different, your host has you covered.

He also took into account how we needed to slow down and took care of translations.

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.
