Such a fantastic tour by Jean! Very well paced and we ended up eating the perfect amount of food. We really learned a lot.

An excellent morning tour of the traditional food and sights on offer in Dadaocheng / Dihua Street area with Jean and the 6 people on the tour with me (2 couples, 2 other solo travelers). In fact we had such a lovely morning as a group that Jean kept going an extra hour! I ate at places and dishes that I would never have ventured into walking around alone, so highly recommend this tour for showing me the delicious tastes and experiences out there as an intrepid and non-chinese speaking westerner. While I didn't love every dish, the majority blew me away and it was an overall encompassing taste of Taipei, as well as temples and history thrown in. We ended up eating 10 - 12 dishes, by the end we were sharing a couple plates as everyone was so full.
My only criticism is that we did waste a bit of food, and perhaps knowing that it is a whole morning food tour with plenty of dishes, they ask some of the vendors to provide smaller portions instead of saying don't feel bad if you don't finish it.
One point I was impressed at is how little cutlery/packaging waste we generated - most of the places we sat and were served with crockery and silver cutlery. It was also nice to have those little seating breaks on a walking tour. On that note, it was a bit of a drizzly morning, but that didn't impact us at all - so don't be put off by any inclement weather.
Thank you for a wonderful, educational, tasty and fun morning Jean, and my fellow food tour buddies. Highly recommend this tour and would love to try one of their other offerings when next in Taipei!

As was the case with my two previous tours, the Traditional Food Tour was excellent. Our guide was CC and she was wonderful--very friendly and knowledgeable. Most of the food choices were not average, run of the mill and, if not for the tour, I don't think I would ever have tried most of the dishes offered. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys discovering new foods.
