"We thoroughly enjoyed the food tour with Agnes as our guide. We learned so much about Taipei cuisine and variations across the country - it was great to have someone talk through all this detail as soon as soon we arrived in Taipei. As an amazing bonus Agnès provided such great information about Taiwanese history so we parted full of a delicious mix of food and knowledge. Thank you Agnès, a Superb tour it was lovely to spend time with you - I would highly recommend this tour."
"We came to this evening tour with varying levels of knowledge of Taiwanese history and culture. Our wonderful guide Garen helped us level set, first providing a general history of the country, city and the neighborhood we were in. We got to visit the temple around which the night market grew, then plunged into the market itself. Garen showed us the ropes and helped us find what we were interested in and some surprises too! She was also very caring and helpful with a senior member of our group, for which we were very grateful. A fantastic experience. Thanks, Garen!"
"William met us at the Cruise Terminal and took us for a very interesting and informative day out prior to our late evening flight home.
He is easy to understand, very accommodating and knows his city and its sights.
He understood our need to take it easy and helped us where admissions, etc needed a local language speaker.
The day ended at the Chiang Kai Shek Memorial which was the crowning glory."
"It was super fun seeing some of the cool areas outside of Taipei with William! I enjoyed the waterfall the most! Super pretty and scenic. It was also fun to see Jiufen and Shifen! "
"I loved the tour with Garen! She was super knowledgeable and not only taught me about all the great food taiwan has to offer but some of the more cultural and historical aspects as well!"
"My friend and I spent an excellent few hours with Agnes. She was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, using the food to introduce us to some of Taiwanese history and parts of Taipei that we wouldn't have otherwise got to visit. Couldn't recommend her and the tour enough!"
