Great tour of the mountains above Taipei - Great tour in the mountains so close to Taipei. The scenery was beautiful, especially the blooming cherry trees but the highlight was visiting the volcano, a site I will always remember. The guide was a great source of information and a very safe driver on very challenging roads. I highly recommend this tour.

Highly recommend Nicholas Ying as guide/driver for 5 hours tour to Yangmingshan National Park - I was lucky to be assigned Nicholas Ying as my guide and driver.
I had a 5 hour tour with Nicholas to Yangmingshan National Park where we visited Yangming Flower Clock park, Xiaoyoukeng Recreation area, Qingtiangang Grassland Trails and Jingshan Suspension Bridge. Although it was foggy but Nicholas had checked the weather conditions before arriving to decide which area to visit first so I had an enjoyable time. Nicholas also went pass Yangmingshan American Military Housing area to show me the area and a hidden spot with a beautiful view of Taipei city. For lunch Nicolas recommended me a very nice local Taiwanese Traditional Vermicelli restaurant which was delicious.
I highly recommend Nicholas as he was always considerate, punctual, very informative, took initiative, flexible if there were any interesting things along the tour and very sincere. He was also a foodie which was another bonus as I was always interested was very local food.
Nicholas was also a very careful driver which was a bonus. He made sure I was comfortable in the car especially since we did travel a lot in very wet and rainy conditions.
I was lucky to have Nicolas for 3 separate day tours in Taipei and I highly recommend Nicholas for anyone traveling to Taiwan.

A Very Pleasant Day - I'll admit, I didn't have high expectations for this tour- a simple volcano tour, but I was pleasantly surprised! My son and I had a great time. The hikes weren't challenging at all, really just a pleasant stroll through some beautiful grasslands, and through hot springs! The scenery and conversation with our guide Paul were great.
I've been on tours where the guide was a little too polished and well rehearsed like a professor, and guides that felt like they were a friend showing you around. Paul was a friend showing us around. In fact when he learned my son and I desperately wanted to try beef noodle soup, he offered to take us to his favorite spot back in Taipei, communicate with the waitstaff for us, and allowed us to arrange an Uber back to our hotel. We emphatically agreed!
We highly recommend

Fantastic half day trip - We had a great time on this trip. Jimmy our guide was fantastic and credit to his company. Looked after us so well and even brought us some breakfast to start the day with. Jimmy even took some photos of us which he sent us which was a lovely touch. Would highly recommend this trip. Also do the early start to beat the crowds.

10/10 highly recommend - Nicolas Ying was our tour guide, and he was fun and awesome! We learned so much about the history of the area from him, and he took us to several beautiful locations on Yangminshan mountain that we would probably have totally missed out on our own. We also really appreciate that he helped us take so many pictures to remember our experiences. I plan on booking with yolo Taiwan again in the future and hope Nicolas is our guide then too!!!

Lief was a great guide.... - Lief was a great guide. He was very patient with my 8-year-old son and allowed us to explore things at our own pace.
I highly recommend him!

Fun half day tour - Despite getting unlucky with the rainy weather our amazing guide Nicolas Ying made sure we had a great time and customized our itinerary to your liking. In addition to the sightseeing we enjoyed Nicolas knowledge of culture and history.

Good but not great - The tour is good but by no means great. The sulphur emissions are interesting but you can't see far due to fog that seems almost always present. The other things in the area were so ordinary that they shouldn't even be part of the trip. They showed us grasslands with a few water buffalos grazing. If you are from Asia, water buffalos are the most ordinary things. They also showed a small pond where the water is white due to minerals, calling it the milk pond. Hardly interesting. They also showed a little shallow rainwater pond which they called a lake! It is definitely not anything like a lake. However, the flower clock area is very interesting and worth spending time.
