We did the old town walking tour with Leo. He also had a female who assisted and it was her first time and she did a great job.
We met at NTU Hospital MRT which was only one stop from Taipei Main Station on the Red Line.
This tip based walking tour takes you through Taipei's old town, i228 Peace Memorial Park, the Presidential Office, Inner City Market, Zhongshan Hall, Ximending, and the Red House.
Its a great introduction to Taipei and worth doing it on your first day to get some orientation of the city.
