Jessica was a great tour guide! We loved our tour through Taipei. The bike tour was an easy ride along the river, which was beautiful, and a fun way to explore Taipei. Included lunch which was authentic and great tasting. Highly recommend Jessica and this tour!
Our visit to Taipei was thru a cruise ship which meant limited time onshore and overpriced shore excursions to touristy areas. We wanted to see and experience the “real” Taipei where the locals live and do their daily routine. Judy and David were great! They dove us right into best areas that would have taken us hours to find on our own. Plus the ratio was 2on 2! My wife and I with Judy and David, you can’t beat that for personal service. If you rather be in a group of 25+ people being herded like cattle by a flag waving tour guide then don’t design up for Judy’s tour!
I really enjoyed this multi-faceted tour! We strolled the old streets and visited one of the more ornate and older temples along the river and then pedaled along the scenic river stopping to explore the mangroves along the way. Our ultimate destination was a picturesque and bustling bay teeming with history, food vendors and activity. We arrived in time to enjoy some tasty treats and take in a majestic sunset. Jessica was a great guide and a fun travel companion. I highly recommend this tour!
I had an amazing time on the photography tour with David and Judy in Taipei, which I booked via 'WithLocals'. We hit both a day and night market, and I learned about street photography in a very relaxed atmosphere and enjoyed some of Taipei's best street food. David and Judy were awesome guides. They knew their stuff and were really fun to hang out with. They helped me to take great shots, and we chatted about the markets and their cultural significance, which added a cool layer to my photos. I left the tour with new photography skills and some amazing shots. If you're into photography and want a unique Taipei experience, definitely book a tour with them on 'WithLocals'. I whole hardly recommend it!
