Our tour guide Kuan catered to our needs and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the places we visited. Maybe stinky tofu is not my thing but good to try.

It was a terrific tour that exceeded my expectations. My family and I enjoyed the tour and learned a lot. It was such a fun day!
And I can’t say enough about how great Tony, our tour guide was. He was friendly, informative, and you could tell he enjoyed guiding tours. He even took pictures of us using his camera and gave us the memory card at the end of the tour.
If you’re looking for a fun day tour from Taipei, I highly recommend this tour!
