Departure at 11:30 in the morning, the journey ends 2000 at Taipei Station,.

The time is right, the tour guide is clear, the trip does not stop too long in every place.

Extremely enjoyable day at Shifen and Juifen

Our guide, Alex Cheng, was amazing and made this trip one of the most memorable experiences of our lives. He spoke fluent English and was extremely knowledgeable of the historical significance of the places we visited and gave us wonderful insights into interesting facts you won’t find in tour books or online guides. I would definitely recommend Alex as a tour guide.

Great except the tea house

Everything is great except the A-Mei Teahouse the guide suggested us to go. A-Mei Teahouse is not great and very expensive.

It was a memorable experience since it was my first travel outside my country

The views are astonishing, relaxing, and I took many photos. Taiwan has a lot to offer 3 days and 2 nights accomodation are not enough to visit those magnanimous places.

Operator response

The best tour guide peter

Peter was an exceptional tour guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. From start to finish, he made the experience engaging and enjoyable for everyone. He shared fascinating insights about each location, answered every question with enthusiasm, and even gave helpful tips for exploring on our own. His passion for the area truly stood out, making the tour not just informative, but memorable. Peter also managed the group with ease, ensuring everyone felt included and comfortable. Thanks to his recommendations and storytelling, we left with a deeper appreciation for the places we visited. I would highly recommend Peter to anyone seeking a top-tier guide.
