"We had such a great food tour experience with Garen! We had dishes we would not had tried exploring on our own & even learned how to order food in the local restaurants. She explained details behind each dish and shared the history of the local vendors. We also learned about Taiwan's history and ended the tour with a full belly. What a great cultural and gastronomic experience!"
"We were very lucky to have Eva as our guide in Taipei. She was excellent – highly knowledgeable and able to adjust the route and content easily to our interests. Her English is very good, and her friendly, open personality made it a real pleasure to spend time with her.
Eva went far beyond expectations, sharing additional tips for the rest of our trip and answering our questions even after the tour. She provided so much useful information and made our experience in Taipei truly special.
We sincerely thank her for her kindness and professionalism – we couldn’t have found a better guide!"
"Overall, it was a great experience that we had on our very first evening in Taipei – lots of different snacks, interesting information about the local food culture and a few other tips included. Kate is a very attentive and open-minded host, we can highly recommend the tour with her."
"We loved our tour with Daphne. She was on time, a super safe driver, really charming and informative and a great person to spend the day with. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to book with!"

"We had a brilliant experience with Garen. Her food tour was fun, informative and definitely took us to places we wouldn’t have found on our own. The food we tried was delicious and we really liked the way Garen paced the tour so that we weren’t overloaded. We did the tour early in our trip and really appreciated the tips and advice Garen gave us to help us with the rest of our trip. Highly recommend!"
"We had an amazing food tour with Garen! She showed us around some great local spots in Taipei and introduced us to so many delicious dishes/snacks. Garen was also incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of Taiwan, which made the experience even more special. It was the perfect mix of great food and local insight. Highly recommend Garen and this tour to anyone visiting Taipei."
"We had a great time with Daphne. She took us to the must see stops during for a first time visit to Taipei, and she did a great job explaining the historical and cultural context. One of the highlights for me was her tour of the historic Longshan temple and her explanation of the Taoist practices and beliefs. Dihua street and the Chiang Kai Shek memorial were also fascinating. Would recommend!"
"We had such a fantastic time on our food tour with June around the Dongmen area of Taipei. From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely at ease. She was friendly, conversational, and full of fascinating stories about Taiwanese food, history, and culture.
Every dish she introduced us to was absolutely delicious, and she helped us appreciate the flavours, traditions, and little details behind each one. We also learned so much about Taiwan’s famous teas, something we’d never known much about before, and it added a whole new depth to the experience.
What made the tour truly special was June herself. She clearly knows this neighbourhood inside out, and it showed in the way she interacted with the stallholders and restaurant staff. We could tell she’s part of this community. She even went out of her way to invite us to a local wet market the next morning, which was such a generous and thoughtful gesture.
June offered wonderful tips on things to see and do in Taipei and really gave us a local experience we could never have created on our own. For a few hours, it felt like we were exploring the city with a friend rather than a guide.
This was the perfect way to start our holiday in Taiwan. Delicious food, great conversation, and a truly authentic insight into Taipei life. Highly recommend this tour and especially June!"
"We had a wonderful time on the walking food tour with Garen. Each place she took us to was delicious and she took the time to explain why she chose each restaurant and the food. Each item, and the sequence of each stop, was thoughtfully chosen. She also spoke to us about Taiwan’s history and culture. It was an excellent introduction to Taiwan. One of the best tours we’ve been on! Thanks, Garen!"
