Latest reviews from our guests

    Roro asked what we were interested in and she was able to educate us on history of Taipei and old neighborhoods full of character.

    Had an amazing time with Vila on my layover tour in Taipei! Vila picked me up from the airport and drove me around the city showing me a local fish market and outdoor food market, the famous Dihua street, and the beautiful Chiang Kai-shek memorial. We tried yummy treats all around and she showed me some wonderful spots to pick up some tea and a few other little souvenirs. She did a wonderful job customizing our few hours to what was important to me and shared so much about her culture and the history of Taiwan. I would definitely recommend booking a tour if you have a long layover rather than just sitting it out in the airport.

    Perfect layover activity. Green met us at an easy to find spot and was very knowledgeable with Taiwan. He presented an itinerary but was understanding and flexible when we needed to adjust it. Perfect mix of culture and history.
