Great tour and guide!

Garen is an inspiring whirlwind of energy and fascinating insights that makes the food tour in Taipei an absolute pleasure. The food is of course tremendously delicious, however Garen makes it about so much more by weaving in truly rich context about the origins of many of the items and how it all relates to Taiwan’s history. As a result, we learned much more in these few hours than we did on many of the equivalent tours we have been lucky to enjoy in other Asian countries. Garen was also particularly considerate in ensuring the tour, conversation and pace was adapted to my son’s interests. All in all, highly recommend Garen as a food tour guide in Taipei.

Eva was incredibly nice. She was very accommodating with what we ate since it was just me and I couldn’t possibly eat all the food she had to offer! She was extremely knowledgeable of the local history and Taiwan overall. Eva is heavily involved with the Taiwan community and her wealth of knowledge derives from how much she loves her country. I am definitely going to reach out to Eva again as she also offers tours around Taiwan! Thanks so much Eva!

Garen is the best tour guide ever!

My husband and I travel extensively and have experienced all levels of tour guides and we both agreed that Garen is one of the best. She was engaging, knowledgeable, and prepared in every possible way…from answering our political questions about Taiwan’s history to giving us alcohol wipes before we ate. We asked her for recommendations on where to buy the most random things and she was literally texting me places days after we finished our tour. We plan to return to Taiwan in the near future and we will definitely book a tour with Garen again.
