Review of Taipei’s private 8-hour custom tour, with temples, Taipei 101, Elephant Mountain, hotel pickup, transport, and practical value advice.

Review of a private Northern Taiwan day tour from Taipei, covering Yehliu, Jiufen, Shifen Waterfall, and sky lanterns with hotel pickup.
“Well worth paying extra for a private tour! My wife and I really enjoyed the afternoon and evening, and Junior did an excellent job of keeping us on a good schedule while also allowing some freedom and flexibility at each place. He also did a good job of navigating and managing any crowds, and even went out of his way to ensure we had great seats at the A-Mei teahouse restaurant in Jiufen. Couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we liked that it was an afternoon/evening tour instead of only being earlier in the day like most others.”

Explore Yangmingshan volcanoes, flower gardens, hot springs, Beitou culture, and Shilin Night Market on a small-group Taipei day tour.
“Today I did this one day tour to Yangmingshan Nationalpark and Beitou. Some people canceled last minute so I was the only one on the tour, which was a great experience. We went to different spots in the (super huge) Nationalpark. Not possible to visit everything but we've seen many nice spots (flower clock, sulfur deposits, pond etc.). My guide Jerry568 made the tour perfect. He knows everything about the area and takes you to all the great places. We also stopped at a small hot spring where I put my feet in. My guide found the perfect place for our lunch. Super delicious place in a little university town.…”
