What a wonderful tour - We truly enjoyed our tour with Phyllis, she was punctual picking us up from our hotel with a clean, spacious van and provided us with cold water. My husband and I really appreciated her lesson on the history, background and culture of Taiwan. She's very kind and sweet and went above and beyond. Thank you so much for helping us take pictures too. The sights outside of the city were beautiful. Please don't hesitate booking a tour with this company.

A Five-Star Tour with Phyllis - We had the absolute pleasure of having Phyllis as our tour guide during our trip to Taiwan, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the moment we met her, Phyllis was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. She made our day trip to the Yehliu Geopark, Jiufen, and Shifen truly unforgettable. At Yehliu Geopark, Phyllis brought the unique rock formations to life with her engaging stories and in-depth knowledge of the geological wonders. In Jiufen, she guided us through the charming alleyways, helping us uncover hidden gems, local delicacies, and the rich history behind this picturesque town. And in Shifen, she made sure we had the most memorable time lighting sky lanterns and exploring the iconic waterfall. What really set Phyllis apart was her genuine care, attention to detail, and the personal touches she added throughout the tour. She tailored the day to our interests and pace, always making sure we were comfortable, well-informed, and most importantly—having fun! If you’re planning a trip to Taiwan and want an enriching, stress-free, and truly special experience, we wholeheartedly recommend Phyllis. She’s not just a tour guide—she’s a wonderful ambassador of Taiwan’s culture and hospitality. Thank you, Phyllis, for a day we’ll never forget!

Private Driver, not really a “tour” - It was great to see the sights, have a private driver, and not have to wait on public transportation. We were able to see so much more in a short period of time. Our van was clean. Our driver, Jimmy, was very nice. This isn’t necessarily a tour, but the hiring of a driver. He did take a few photos for us when we arrived at our locations. Maybe some drivers offer more unprompted information than others. Our driver took us to our locations and let us explore on our own…which is our preference anyway.

A great day all around. - We booked our tour in Taipei while enjoying a port day on our cruise ship. Our guide, Charles picked us up right at the cruise terminal in Keelong, and met us after customs. It was raining so we went with our second option, seeing the sights in Taipei while enjoying a very nice, clean van. After seeing several very important and interesting stops, and after the rain had subsided Charles took us to the North Shore to see the rock formations and waterfalls so we got to see all the things we hoped for. Thank you to Charles for being so accommodating and providing us with a never to be forgotten experience. A private guide is the only way to go…skip the ship excursions and the crowds and save some $$$

Solo day private tour of North Easternal Coast area - I travelled in April and on this day temps reached 34 degrees Celsius so wear appropriate clothing and footwear. Driver Ian was amazing and his English was very good. Picked me up bang on time and spent the next 9 hours travelling around the North east coast. including Shiefen, Yehliu and some waterfalls. Highlight was the last stop where the guide and I had a lantern and as per customs wrote wishes on each of the sides (it's roughly 1.5m high, and 1m square so quite big) and then had it lit to fly off with all the other lanterns. When I reached my hotel I forgot some gifts I had bought and left in the car, but Ian let me know and then arranged a taxi to bring them to my hotel. Above and beyond. Thanks Ian. Well worth the money even though I was travelling solo.
