Jeremy is great! - Our day with Jeremy touring northeast Taiwan was probably our favorite day during our weeklong vacation. We were a small group so switched from Mercedes van to minivan but the minivan was nice and clean. Jeremy was right on time. He was so kind and took amazing photos of our family. He also knew all the secret spots to get amazing photos and he showed us less touristy breathtaking views. He answered all our questions and shared a lot of fun anecdotes about life in Taiwan. We felt like we got a better understanding of the country’s history and also of the people. He had a special snack for us that Taiwanese people use as a good luck charm for electronics. I know it sounds crazy! But so fascinating to learn. Jeremy made our tour in very busy spots a lot easier. He would walk us to the best spots, park or drop us off to reduce unnecessary walking. He just made it an easy and pleasurable day despite some traffic and some rain. Our family, including two kids, were entertained, educated and also felt relaxed. Jeremy was also flexible should we want to stay longer somewhere. Overall, a great guy and a wonderful tour. Thanks Jeremy and for all our beautiful family pics! Looks like we hired a professional photographer toon

Perfect day out with... - Perfect day out with Phyllis, who is an experienced, friendly, and highly knowledgable guide. These sights are easy to get to and should not be missed on a trip to Taiwan.

Tour of North East Taiwan - We had an amazing tour. Jeremy was a great guide, taking us to some amazing places. The weather was a little dreary but it didn’t spoil our enthusiasm. We tried our first Taiwanese dishes and they were delicious. I have limited mobility and Jeremy was attentive and always helpful. We would highly recommend Jeremy and this tour.

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 :)

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...
