“Our tour with Charles was fantastic! He showed many unique landmarks of Taiwan in a timely manner and taught us so much about the country. He was very easy to talk to as well. We highly recommend this tour, the more “tucked away” spots of Taiwan we visited were incredible to experience. The wishing lantern we got to make and release was also cool to do. Thank you Charles!”
