Great tour if you accept it is not a tour! - Although not a guided tour, it is very flexible. Our driver Jeremy had an itinerary but was willing to change to fit wishes. And he was very helpful and welcoming.

Amazing experience - Let your driver know what your travel style and preferences are, they are very accommodating. We wanted to dawdle and stroll around without rushing and our driver was happy to accommodate. But if you want to squeeze in as much as possible and rush then they’re happy to match your energy. Our driver Kevin was amazing, we had so much fun chatting with him and he knew so many cute hidden gems. This was an incredible and stress-free way to explore Taiwan. We were in good hands and felt very well taken care of :)

Lovely day trip! - It was a smooth and efficient trip. It was well timed, the sites were lovely, and Alvin was so friendly and a great driver! 6 hours was just enough to make it a complete day trip without being exhausted. Would recommend!

Amazing Scenery - Didn't see much since it was raining. The weather was not favourable but the driver still took us to all the places.

Unfortunately, more promised than kept - Very nice guide, but a Mercedes van with Wi-Fi was sold. We got a conventional taxi, with little comfort no wifi or water. It's a shame...

Not a guide - We booked the English “private tour” but then found out it’s just a private car with a driver for 8 hours. The driver also didn’t speak much English. He doesn’t go into the attraction areas with us and just waited outside.
