“Vraiment exceptionnel, dû bien sûr à l'intérêt de la ville et des sites visités, mais surtout grâce à la gentillesse, l'intelligence et la finesse de notre guide Melody Chin. Dans un français excellent, elle s'est très vite adaptée à nos centres d'intérêt, a établi un rapport très bienveillant et chaleureux, et nous a fait apprécié le caractère unique de Taiwan, pays d'avant-garde sur la démocratie et les technologies, ouvert et accueillant, dans le respect des meilleures traditions asiatiques. Merci infiniment à Melody, vraiment une très belle rencontre.”

“We had a great guide in Taipai called Ben. He’s a local but has spent time in the USA so communication In English was very easy and he had so much to tell us. We talked politics, religion, history, food (had a great lunch) and his insights were fascinating and gave us a greater understanding of Taiwan than we could ever have gleaned on our own. I hope you are lucky enough to get Ben, you won’t be disappointed.”
