Hi there! Nice to meet you

Judy

I love all kinds of food because it reflects life style and culture of a city. I also love strolling on the street, looking for anything interesting. I am a great storyteller and know many of the secrets of the streets. I spent many years in Canada so I have an interest in western culture as well as eastern culture.

Always hard to write a negative review when you genuinely like the tour guide. Judy is a lovely woman and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her as a city guide, just not as a food guide. Judy is not a “foodie”. One of our stops was the 7 Eleven where she pointed out her favorite prepackaged foods! I’ve taken many food tours all over the world, and for the cost of $134 I expected much more.Disappointing

Judy was the perfect guide for our tour of Taipei and its diverse and culturally vibrant food scene. Her knowledge and passion for this tour was evident throughout the night. It was the perfect way to begin our stay in Taipei, as she provided us with a blueprint for the different foods and neighborhoods (and the food we tried was AMAZING!). Thank you Judy for a very memorable night!!Loved this tour!!

Great vibe and a perfect pace on this walking tour with Judy! Even though the highlight is a lot of absolutely delicious local delicacies, the tour taught me about urban planning and architecture, history, culture, farming, transportation, and geography! I lost count of how many different dishes we tried, but they were amazing and Judy was careful to listen to what my food preferences were and adjust accordingly... even though many of the sizes were described as "small", I feel like the portions were enormous! Easily large enough for 2 or 3 people to sample! 10 Stars for 10 Tastings!

My family of 5 and I enjoyed meeting with Judy .It was a very easy meet up because of her detailed instructions . Upon meeting her , you can sense the joy and positive energy that she brought to the tour . She has a very welcoming, excited vibe about her . We enjoyed all the food choices that she had us try . It was nice that she would ask us first how we would like to proceed with each tasting , making sure she was catering to our needs and requests. She made sure to engage everyone in our party , putting everyone at ease . The foods that she had us try were dishes we would not have tasted on our own , so we were very grateful for the tour . My personal favorite was sitting down in this small eatery that served fish balls stuffed with pork in a soup , with a side of vegetables and noodles . I also enjoyed getting in line to try the taiwanese burrito . The nougat crackers were also a big hit . All in All it was an enjoyable , awesome food tour . Thank you very much Judy !!!!!Excellent Food Tour

I recently had the pleasure of a one-on-one food tour in Taipei with Judy, and it was an unforgettable experience. I appreciated how Judy tailored the tour to my preferences, taking into account the places I'd already visited and the foods I'd already tried. She introduced me to hidden gems and local spots I would never have discovered on my own, all while ensuring everything aligned with my pescatarian diet. Judy's knowledge of Taipei and its food scene, and her friendly conversation made the tour even more enjoyable. Beyond the food stops, she provided insights into the neighborhood we explored and even suggested other places I could visit during the rest of my trip. If you're looking for a personalised food tour in Taipei, I highly recommend booking with Judy. Solo food tour with Judy

Judy was full of positive energy and showed us hidden gems for us vegetarians. We thoroughly enjoyed her company and it was very nuce to have guide like her show us around. She catered to what we like and prefer, so was very flexible and itinerary was fluid as we stopped at places we wanted at the night market. Overall, she was very much great guide if you are new and looking for basics of taiwanese cuisineGreat way to start the trip

Judy was great. She customized the tour based on what we had already done. She added fun places and really knew the history on the areas. Much more than a great food tour.Comprehensive tour

Judy is an exceptional host, local and guide. She has a bucket load of energy, made the entire experience so much fun, really thought of how to make the tour both vego and meat friendly, knew the area and the gooooood places to eat. Highly recommend but wear stretch pants to accomodate the food belly!! Must do

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! Great Taipei Experience
