Hi there! Nice to meet you

Yi Hsuan (Kate)

I love traveling and discovering the local life and cultures. I lived in Berlin for one year on a Working Holiday visa. From that time, I started to travel in different ways, in which I had the access to chat with locals, to learn different cultures and to discover the local things and food in Europe.

I also like to wander in small unknown streets leading me to somewhere out of tourist areas, and the food, the things, people and the stories I had with them always surprised me and made my journey unique and unforgettable.

Therefore, I would like to show you the real Taipei in a local way and hoping you'll be impressed and have a memorable and also unforgettable journey here.

We have seen and learned a lot of things about the real life in Taiwan. When we remember Taipei in the future, we always will associate it with "our Kate". She was extrem flexible. She changes the daily program due to weather conditions in our interest. Friendly, emphatic, knowledgeable and with a good sense of humour. All in all: Two perfect days!Two perfect days in Taipeh

Had a fun couple of hours with Kate moving around the Wanhua district - covering couple of temples and a night market. One of those temples was a real treat to be at, with fewer visitors and a more peaceful environment. No tour can be complete without tasting the street food that the night market has to offer - and Kate carefully selected dishes that I hadnt already tried out before. Loved the Aiyu juice most of all - as refreshing as its origin story ! Kate also helped with suggestions for places to watch the new year fireworks from ! A relaxed evening with an all-smiles companion - what more could you wish for.

Yi Hsuan (Kate) was a marvelous guide to all things Taipei. I had only a 10-hour layover in Taipei and decided to explore the city. Yi Hsuan was able to arrange a tour just for my interests—with a tea tasting and visit to an ancient tea factory that is still operating, a stroll through the old neighborhood, a visit to the Temple of Love, a fascinating night market, and even drawing lots and checking my fortune at the famous Longshun Temple. Throughout the whole tour she was kind, knowledgeable, and willing to share her views on life in Taiwan. It was a fascinating experience and I would highly recommend her to my friends and family. What a truly great night in Taipei.A Wonderful Guide and a Great Experience

The food we ate and the stops we made gave a great first introduction to taiwanese cuisine. Yo Hsuan knows so much much about the food and the neighbourhood and showed us many sights we would have overseen without her. Thank you for the great tour!!!Food, food, food and a great guide.

We have been very happy with the tours we have had using Withlocals, and Kate was a real find. Her young enthusiasm makes her a good choice, and she speaks English very well. We enjoyed the tour she gave, and taking us to the market was a great experience, as she introduced us to foods we would otherwise never have tried. We recommend her highly.Best way to learn about Taiwan
