Great experience!
Agnes is an outstanding host. Full of knowledge about Taiwan, Taipei, and the history. She really shows endless passion for her city and her country.
She showed me some wonderful places, besides the normal tourist tracks, without excluding the must sees. And she was flexible to even fulfill special wishes.
Full recommendation!

Good tour
June was a fantastic guide. We didn’t get to eat the food usually highlighted in Taiwan (like beef noodle soup), but I appreciate her approach because we were able to try food from places that tourists would not think to visit - like a morning wet market.
She was also attuned to our needs and was very helpful in giving recommendations. Enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend.

Great mix of food, history and culture
Garen was fabulous. We did a food tour but she mixed in a lot of interesting history, culture and commentary on modern Taiwan and it's people. I am also gluten free, which she accomodated as best she could (not easy in Taiwan), even dropping additional things off to one of the restaurants to prepare for me.

Garen is knowledgeable, fun & knows her Taiwanese food. She shared the culture and history of Taiwan and she took us to a Daoist temple. She showed us how to pray. She showed us how to get answers to questions. She explained the offerings.
Garen was fun to hang with and was clearly respected in the neighborhood.
