A practical review of Taipei’s private Shilin Night Market tour, with food tips, guide insights, pricing, timing, and advice for families and solo visitors.

Taste 10+ Taiwanese dishes across Shida, Taipei University, and Yongkang Street on a three-hour small-group food tour.
“I’ve always known Taipei is a foodie heaven, but as a non-Chinese reader, the idea of navigating street-food markets on my own felt like a competitive sport—with the added fear of accidentally ordering something that stares back. Enter Sky. She guided us through a beautifully curated food tour where every stop actually hit. No filler, no tourist-trap snacks pretending to be iconic—just dish after dish of “how is this so good?” Highlights for me: the pork and bamboo buns, the beef with tomatoes, and a bunch of hidden gems I never would’ve found (or confidently ordered) by myself. Sky also paced the tour perfectly with little “flavor breaks” and palate…”

“May Ei was the absolute best guide. She messages us a couple of days before to let us know to bring cash, which was very helpful as I’ve gotten so used to using my phone for everything and never get cash out anymore. May Ei helped us get the famous black pepper buns first and then showed us the temple and explained the gods and history, patiently answering all our questions and helping us understand how to do a blessing like the locals. We then spent over 2 and half hours wandering the market with her taking us to spots we would never have known were the best to go…”
Review of Taipei’s Raohe Night Market walking tour, with food tips, guide insight, value, drawbacks, and practical advice before booking.
“Our guide was very nice, but didn't know much about the market and food options. While she was pleasant to be around, we were hoping for someone who could help us maximize our experience, taking us to the must-visit stalls and helping us avoid boring ones. We didn't feel she had a great knowledge of the landscape or which vendors were located where.”
Review of Taipei’s Jiufen, Shifen Waterfall and Raohe Market tour, with practical advice on timing, guides, weather, stairs and weekend traffic.
“Our tour guide Vince was great. He has lots of energy and knowledge and made the day a lot of fun. Plan for inclement weather even if the city says it will be nice. Lots of rain. Better to have more than needed. There will be room to store your extras above if not needed. For this tour be prepared for plenty of stairs.”
