Paul introduced us to a couple of new experiences- knife massage, stinky tofu, mango beer. The tour is way overpriced.

We asked for the tour to end early and for the tour guide to take us back to our hotel because his driving made us motion sick. He blamed it on the Mountain Roads, but I told him it was his slow driving. I didn’t appreciate him ignoring what I was trying to tell him. We didn’t tell him this to avoid hurting his feelings too badly, but his driving was also quite terrifying, going so slow and awkwardly that when he changed lanes, he was badly cutting people off. This also meant that the trip back to the hotel took much longer than he had estimated, despite minimal traffic. We were a little worried that he was trying to squeeze out time with us to minimize trouble he would be in with his agency. The car he picked us up in did not have seatbelts ready and working for the two main back row seats, meaning my Mom and I couldn’t sit together in the back unless one of us sat in the middle. This tour was too expensive for the vehicle to not have been prepared to be used like…a normal vehicle. Apologies for the sass here, but this was a major oversight in our opinions. Lastly, while our guide was a nice person, we felt that his English was not fluent enough to hold a conversation with him. We found we were both missing each other’s points often. He was trying his best, but we do a lot of travel and he did not meet the average English speaking level we typically encounter with professional guides in Asia. Overall, we did not see much because we were too uncomfortable to continue the tour with the tour guide. Therefore, we cannot recommend this tour to anyone.

James was an amazing tour guide. He was friendly, educational, and spoke very good English. I felt like I learned a lot about Taiwanese history, politics, and culture. Some places I had already been to but he offered new information! I was traveling by myself at the time and he made for great company while also remaining professional. I highly recommend!
