Exceptional tour guide Paul. He’s so knowledgeable and will highly recommend him and his team. Very detailed and patient. Great driver as well.
We had a lovely day with Stephen, a great guide with a comfortable car
Our family took a one day tour with Paul. It was a fantastic trip and Paul was a great guy. We saw everything we wanted to see and got detailed explanations along the way. We would recommend this tour to anyone.
Stephen was an awesome guide! He was very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. He always checked in with us and made us see such wonderful places Taiwan! His knowledge and enthusiasm made our entire experience seamless and enjoyable! If you are visiting Taiwan, we highly recommend this guide and tour, he delivered such a wonderful tour from start to finish!
We had a great time seeing the northern coast with Stephen. We saw a lot and Stephen made sure our trip was efficient. We added a few little stops to the usual and still got back on time. It’s was a great day. Highly recommended.
Kevin, the tour guide is very knowledgeable and inspirational.
All of them were very happy and liked the tour. For all of them were very good experience. Thankful for all tour
See interesting geography and history of Taiwan. Knowledgeable and friendly tour guide who took us to places and saw things we wouldn’t see if we went on our own.
Paul was an excellent driver. Very knowledgeable and helpful suggestions since I have limited mobility.
Stephen was great in adapting to the itinerary that we wanted-picked us up at the airport, dropped our luggage off at our hotel and took us to the three hotspots we wanted to visit in Taipei! ( 101 - Roehe Night Market and evening drive by of the Chiang Kai shek Memorial-It was very easy to communicate with him -and he was very accommodating! the car was new, clean and held all our luggage !
Had a really good time on the tour but it was made better by Eric the guide. He was informative, showed me and pointed out all the good sights, was funny and was just one of the best tour guides. Overall a good tour of northern Taiwan made even better by him. Thanks Eric!
We had a great day with Stephen our driver and his comfortable and pristine mini van. Even though it was raining, Stephen took good care of our family (2 adults 2 kids) and made everything to make the experience enjoyable. He was funny, polite and shared a lot of great info about our destination and Taiwan in general. Highly recommended.
We LOVED our tour with Eric "Superman" He had such great enthusiasm and passion! We had so much fun. He did a fantastic job of showing us where to go and what to do! We were so happy we did a private tour for just our family because it was so nice to have Eric whisk us through the crowds! Everything was so easy and we really had a fantastic day!
Eric is the man. He helped us so much. So friendly and knowledgeable. Also found us vegetarian food. Bless this man.
Personalized and exceptional, Stephen guided us through the gorgeous YehLiu Geopark, a sentimental lantern-release at Pingxi’s Old Stefan railroad street, and a fun night tour of red lantern-filled Jiufen.
What a great tour! Ben was the best and took us to all of the area hot spots. We saw so much. Ben knew all of the hidden gems and how to dodge the holiday crowds. He was very knowledgeable about the area and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. I would highly recommend this tour!

This is a must book trip! It takes you out of the big city into the mountains and beautiful beach! What a great day!
Eric was absolutely the best guide I have ever been with. Informative, accommodating and very knowledgeable. He took us to a temple build into a cave only a mile from the boat that was amazing if your booking this tour try to get Eric
Thank you for the wonderful experience, Ms. Dillian and Routor. Very imformative and accommodating tour guide. We were able to visit a lot of places.
Our driver was exceptional! He was a great communicator, always on time. I highly recommend Stephen.
I absolutely loved this tour. My family was able to see some of the highlights of Taipei. We took a lot of cool pics. Our guide, Stephen P., was very courteous and informative. I definitely recommend him and this tour!!!
Eric made the most of a rainy day and was very helpful. We enjoyed the A-Mei Tea House and the lanterns.
Great experience! Awesome tour guide, very knowledgeable and took amazing pictures. Thank you for a great day.
It was great. Our tour guide Steven was one of the best we ever had. He was very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend
Private car tours offer the flexibility to alter the time spent at each attraction. Paul, my driver/guide, shared the history plus a narrative of the surrounding towns & culture.
I chose this tour because I wanted to get an impression of how Taiwan is outside the city of Taipei and I only had limited time available. Paul, my guide was very professional and knew exactly were to go best. He was also an attentive and save driver. I had lots of questions as I was in Taiwan for the first time and he answered all of them patiently. Thank you Paul.
Eric did a great job modifying our itinerary to show us off the beaten path places when the weather was less than ideal. He has a clean and spacious car, he is a great driver, and full of interesting information. You will definitely see different things than a regular tour bus would give you. He took many great pictures of my wife and I along our journey. Also, Eric came quite prepared. He has hiking poles, umbrellas and water!
Our guide, Eric, worked with us to provide a tailored experience based on our interests. He used multimedia to give us unique information at each stop. Eric’s suggestions for local foods and souvenirs helped make the day extra special.
The experience was great! Everything went well. Stephen was very helpful. I will highly recommend this to my friends and family.
We had Eric as our private driver and (defacto guide). His enthusiasm for showing tourists his country was evident. We had 8 hours with him and I gave him the free reign to determine our itinerary and route. In that time he ensured that we had a smooth ride and saw all the top sites with plenty of time. He gave us tips on what to do and where to eat and where to meet. The day went smoothly and we all had a great time
Absolutely phenomenal. We thought the rain might ruin it, but Eric was an amazing tour guide who tweaked the schedule to make our day fantastic! This was my favorite part of my trip to Taiwan!
This is a tour that you just have to book. It's one of those gems where you will see so much in the time allowed. And, you'll never feel rushed at all. Our driver/guide, Eric, rates as one of the best guides that we've ever had. He's knowledgeable, funny, flexible...just a really good guy. And if you want to see all the main sites on this tour, but have a desire to venture off the beaten tourist path and see some fantastic, unexpected sights, ask Eric for the 'Taiwan-style' tour. Honestly...'Taiwan-style' tour...make time and ask for it. You won't regret it . We had a blast with him.
Stephem is such a nice and great tour guide. He was responsive before the trip. He picked us up on time, explained the destinations, walked with us everywhere, took great pictures for us.
Limited knowledge but good language skills. Enjoyed the experience, had to miss portion due to time constraints
Stephen was amazing. At our request, he changed up the trip to do a mostly city tour of Taipei. He took us to some very fun, off the beaten track places. Super interesting. Full of energy. The day flew by.
A great tour, run by a great host. Highly recommended. Our goal was to see the Queens Head … and it is truly magical… smaller than I thought but no less spectacular. Our host Stephen brought the whole area alive by pointing out different rock formations which we would have been missed on our own. Our second visit was to the old gold mining town where we had local tea. It has to be poured away 3 times before drinking…but will leave you to visit to find out why! Finally we set off a lantern from a railway track….and then watched a train go right though this area!! Very tight but safe. Stephen was an excellent host. On time and attentive to our needs. He was also very informative which was much appreciated. If you want to get out of Taipei and explore rock formation, waterfalls and more then consider this trip. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
Experience was good. Be prepared for rain! Launching sky lanterns was awesome! Would have given 5 star, but guide was pretty quiet unless we asked questions.
We had a wonderful day with our guide Eric. A stunning drive through the mountains learning about the history of coal and gold mining in Taiwan. We stopped at stunning locations which my photographer husband particularly appreciated. Eric was also very helpful as my husband has a broken bone in his foot so not as mobile as we had expected him to be, Eric thoughtfully dropped us and picked us up from as close as possible to the different sights.
Excellent tour of Northern Taiwan. The driver Eric was fantastic and fun. He shared all his local knowledge of the sites we visited. We definitely want to come back to Taiwan in the future.
From the minute that I was picked up at my hotel the journey started. Eric was so proud of his country and showed me his secret places. His car was a new Tesla with a glass roof which made seeing things on the way easy. We visited waterfalls, little villages with streets lined with local teas, food and crafts. We also visited historical sites in Northern Taiwan. He made it easy for me to wander small streets alone because he gave me a phone with GPS so he could monitor me in places where he could not park or drive. I messaged him when I was through and he was there to pick me up. I saw temples and even a cave called The Budda's hand ( a natural rock formation that looked like a real large hand imprint). Never would have found that. We passed many food vendors and he had me try samples of the delicacies that were local to the area. It wasa8 hour tour and there was so much to see. Beautiful coastlines, natural rock formations , quaint villages, and also Taipei itself. He also showed me short videos on his car screen of areas that I saw, especially if they were relevant to places we were visiting. Eric was so eager to please and answered all of my questions fully. He is a credit to the Viator team. I can't say enough positive things about him. I also saw the memorial to Taiwan's leader Chaing Kai Shek. Instead of being dropped off at my hotel, he showed me a shopping area nearby where I chose to go in order to get some shopping done. Eric was a treasure and a great representative of his country
Too much cost for what we got. Driver (Stephen) always seemed to be in a hurry, and didn't really act in a guide capacity, mostly leaving us on our own so that we missed the lighting of the lanterns at Shifen Old Street, because he didn't walk up the hill with us and explain where to go. We also arrived back at our lodgings an hour early, so I'm not sure what the rush was to complete the tour. Not a great experience at all.
Eric was a wonderful guide! We learned so much about the history of Taiwan. He took us to places known only to locals so we could avoid the tour bus crowd. Highly recommend as a way to see the sights in comfort.
Stephen was great. He was personable, courteous and considerate. He answered all our questions and gave us lots of information about the different places we visited as well as along the way. I highly recommend him
I would have given five stars but we didn’t get to to Shifen waterfall ( not drivers fault- but should have been told when we booked that it was closed for Lunar New Year- not the night before.) Also our tour was shortened further by an hour due to driver wanting to finish early. I had to pay the driver an additional $2200 TWD for working new year and having already paid over $600 aud, it worked out quite expensive. Our car was lovely and the places we visited were great too. Geopark, Juifen St, and Lantern. I thought we may have been taken somewhere more personal as well, but that was not the case although it was a private tour. Finally, our driver was in a hurry to get home and was well over the speed limit and having a baby with us, I do not feel this was appropriate. In saying all this, we did have a lovely day.
Stephen was AMAZING and made sure our tour was perfect for our family. This was absolutely worth the cost. We loved everything and will remember this as part of making our vacation very special.
We book a three person private tour. Our driver and guide, Eric, was knowledgeable, friendly, and spoke great English. Pick up location was was at our hotel which made it extra easy. We were pleasantly surprised to be picked up in a very clean Tesla. Next time weare in Taiwan, we will book another tour.
We really liked a trip with Stephen. We had a very interesting conversation with Stephen about a history of Taiwan. He showed us beautiful places on north coast of the Taiwan. Highly recommend this trip.
Our trip was so enjoyable as we got to see several amazing attractions of taiwan in 1 day. Yehliu Geopark, Jiufen Old Street, Shifen Waterfall, Pingxi Sky Lantern Town have beautiful views, naturally formed, culture based, exciting and non tiring journey. Stephen is the best tour guide and driver who speaks good english, explained well about the places we were going, drove us safely, a very pleasant and friendly man. Thank You.
