Tweedaags Sun Moon Lake & Alishan Forest Park Tour Package

I would classify this package as a scam. First of all, there was no private guide. The provider hired a charter driver to drive me to the two destinations in the morning of my trip; second, the driver is not a licensed tour guide. He wasn't even given the iternary as advertised. He was told to drive me to those locations. The driver was kind enough to show me some places that he knows of. Third, 3.5 hours from Taipei to the lake, another 3.5 from the lake to Alishan, then 5.5 hours from Alisan back to Taipei. That left 2 hours for Alisan! No way all the advertised agenda could fit in even the driver had been given the agenda. The cost for this nonexistent tour with private guide is about three times higher than the charter service.

Our driver/guide was named Randy, and he was very nice. He picked us up at our hotel, and since it was the day we arrived, let us rest (even offering me a pillow) in the car. He told us the history of Sun Moon Lake, showed us a restaurant to try President Fish and took us to a lovely church and temple. He dropped us off at our hotel and picked us up early to take us to Alishan. He was an expert driver, driving to Alishan is very windy, and took us to a quick restaurant which served beef noodles. He showed us exactly what to do to find the train to Alishan and drove us back to our hotel in Taipei. He also did a fantastic job of taking photos of my husband and I. If you want to start off your trip to Taiwan basking in nature and calm, I suggest this trip. It's so much easier with a driver than trying to take the train or bus on your own.

David is the best Tour guide in Taiwan. We feel very safe wandering around Taiwan knowing David's with us. Humor, Intelligence and Life lessons is a plus besides the stories and myths of the places that we visited. Thank you David!
