Amazing views! Our guide Eric was very knowledgeable. Enjoyed walking thru the woods. Would recommend.
Great tour and guide. I would definitely recommend for anyone that wants a 1-day tour from Taichung. Very reasonably priced.
Purchase Date: January 10 Service Purchased: Tour guide booking via TripAdvisor Tour Date & Time: January 12 at 8:00 AM What Happened: We arrived on time at the designated meeting point provided by the tour operator: Exit 7 of the high-speed train station. Upon arrival, no tour guide or representative was present at the location. We immediately contacted TripAdvisor support through the in-app chat to request assistance. The support agent instructed us to call a phone number. We explained that we did not have an international phone plan and could not make international calls. We asked for an alternative way to contact the guide. The agent then told us to contact the tour operator via WeChat, an app we did not have installed. We informed them that we did not use WeChat and could not download or set it up at that moment. The response we received was that they could “only wait five more minutes” and would otherwise leave without us, despite the fact that no guide was visible at the meeting point. After that message, there was no further assistance from the TripAdvisor chat, and the tour did not occur
Great tour - well organised and I highly recommend it. Our tour guide Alicia was fantastic - spoke in English and explained everything very well. She even organised a vegetarian lunch for NTD 120! Bus ride is long and the hike is for two hours (easy) so be prepared!
A peaceful and enjoyable time strolling through Alishan with our guide. He was informative and made sure everything ran smoothly.
Thank you to Stella (Miss Chen Chen Hyun) for the professional and attentive care of our family at "Aly Mountain Day Tour", and both Mom and Dad (over 75 years old) had a great time. The trip was rich and smooth throughout the day, and we appreciated many beautiful views. Stella drives safely and stably, the trunk is clean and comfortable, Stella also carefully observes the needs of the elderly, flexibly adjusts the journey, and for us to take many beautiful photos, let us bring valuable and good memories home. Thank you Stella!
Dear Traveler, We sincerely appreciate your kind words and feedback. We're glad you had a positive experience with us. It was our pleasure to assist you, and we look forward to the chance to serve you even better next time. Thank you once again!
Take motion sickness pill for mountain road if you are sensitive. Weather is much cooler on the top ~2200m - and definitely if it is cloudy. Be ready to sit in the bus ab 4 hrs on one direction.
We sincerely apologize for the lack of coordination regarding the long travel times and the lack of prior warning about the road conditions and temperature changes. We will conduct a thorough review to improve our pre-trip communication, ensuring guests are better prepared for the mountain climate and long journey, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.
An immersive experience of a magnificent mountain forest. Well planned in that the walking was all downhill! We didn’t realise we couldn’t use a stroller, so this was an ambitious tour to do with a toddler (15 months). A backpack would have been better than carrying and walking with her. Our guide Cook was patient and good humoured and did his best to make our experience enjoyable and memorable.
Alicia was a great tour guide, taking us through a hike that was at a relaxed pace but still full of lots of information and things to see.
Out guide Captain Cook was great in explaining about the Alishan forests. The whole day was well organized and very interesting!
