A day with Mickey - Mickey our driver and tour guide was very friendly and helpful. He took our suggestions and added his own as well. Very hot sunny day so lovely to have a comfortable, air conditioned vehicle. He even took pictures and sent them to me. Thank you Mickey for a lovely day.

I wouldn't hesitate to book another tour - Ryan was our tour guide and we had a great time. He went at our pace and took breaks when I needed it. In Juifen he showed us all the little shops and took us to a literal hole in the wall that opened to a beautiful restaurant. Amazing views. I would definitely recommend this excursion to my friends and family.

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!
