Beautiful scenery, perfect place for walk, hiking or riding a bike My tour guide Phillips was very welcoming, she show me around the best spot and we got nice food ! I you love frog theme, this is the place to be. When we went to the nine stone frog, I was able to saw six of them. Phillips told me that two day ago, you could only see two. That's how the fast the water level change ! If you are lucky, you can also see monkeys 😁 Very happy experience for me !

It was a great day on the lake. Long drive to get there though. But Phyllis was amazing and took great care of us!
Very convenient and overall a wonderful experience — Phyllis, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and did a great job sharing info about all the sites we visited. It was also really nice to be picked up directly from our hotel and dropped off there as well. Would definitely recommend this tour.
Perfect place and good food and mood
We drove to the lake from Taipei. The driver Mickey picked us up at our hotel and he was very prompt. The drive was smooth and the vehicle was an upgrade so we had very good space. Mickey make great recommendations and was very pleasant for the whole trip. He even offered karaoke for the drive back which was very entertaining. We had rain and he provided umbrellas as needed. Mickey spoke english which made the communication easy. The destination itself was simply amazing. Very beautiful with a nice variety of options. We did not do the biking along the lake due to the rain but we were able to do the boat ride. The only down side was the boat captain never spoke English when we were make the trip across the lake. Otherwise the whole experience was phenomenal!
The tour itself was nice although the Sun Moon Lake is hyped up on social media. We did the obligatory boat trip and the ropeway. The Wenwu temple was nice. Our driver Martin was good but nodded off at the wheel a few times in the morning while going to the lake, which made us very anxious. He nearly crashed into the car in the next lane at one point. I think the tour company needs to take this seriously and take appropriate measures.
Our private driver, Justin briefed us the detailed schedule for the day which helped us stayed on track. As it was the first time to Taiwan for some of us, Justin shared many useful information about Sun Moon Lake that helped us to navigate around. After a nice local lunch (at own cost), we proceeded with a bicycle ride around Sun Moon Lake to appreciate the scenery and bonding with my family too. We ended the day with a safe ride back to the hotel. Throughout the day, Justin took care of us and ensured our travel needs come first.
Very relaxed trip. Mr.Huang is super helpful and helped making our trip a very memorable experience. Thank you very much!
Justin was our driver and guide for this tour. He communicated with us in advance. He picked us up promptly from our hotel. Two main attractions on this tour are Sun Moon Lake and the Wenwu temple. Both are spectacular! The weather was just perfect. Justin guided us well. He made sure that he covered everything we wanted to see. Really a great experience!
Good driver who brought us around showing us the details, flexible to adjust place of visit during the trip
We had an absolutely fantastic Sun Moon Lake tour with Mr. Ryan Tang! From start to finish, Ryan went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. His energy, enthusiasm, and genuine care for his guests truly stood out. His recommendations for local food and milk tea were spot-on — we enjoyed every single one! And the sweetest surprise of all was when he treated us to bread at Feeling 18. That simple gesture showed how thoughtful and generous he is. Ryan is not just a guide — he’s someone who elevates the whole experience with his professionalism, warmth, and passion for what he does. We highly commend him and 100% recommend booking a tour with him. Truly exceptional! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Justin was an excellent driver and guide. He was knowledgeable, good-humored, and patient with us. Traffic on the long drive back was very heavy, but he was unfazed by it. We recommend him highly.
Solo traveller, unable to get onto a tour to sun moon lake from Taipei which included the sites I wanted to see (Ci en Pagoda & Wenwu Temple, without an extended shopping break in Ita Thou). It's 3.5 to 4 hrs drive each way from Taipei so planning time there is essential. Justin was my driver guide, set up a WhatsApp in advance and asked what I wanted from the tour, and locked in a proposal to fit the day. He collected me at my hotel door right on time 0720, and followed through on the plan despite bad traffic making it a 2000 return to Taipei. He was friendly and chatty without being intrusive, and he focussed time on the things that interested me (like the amazing Wenwu Temple) and we really lucked out on the weather, so it was a long day but fun. Transport was a comfy MPV. Recommended.
The tour was excellent. Sun Moon Lake is beautiful and the combination of water transportation and the gondola ride worked well. The car ride is a little long, but comfortable and Phyllis kept it interesting with historical facts about Taiwan and the culture. We were able to escape a cloudy, rainy day in Taipei and enjoy perfect weather at Sun Moon Lake.
It was a perfect day trip to Sun Moon Lake! Comfortable car and excellent driver and guide, Justin! We loved the cycling around the lake the most, it was so beautiful!
Justin did a great job and made our day special. He was prompt and ensured we saw all the best attractions including the boat ride, Temple and cable car.
Justin was a great driver. Very comfortable vehicle. Sun Moon Lake was a pretty area, but for the price, there just wasn't enough to do to make it worth that much money. We basically just did a boat ride, and ate at a handful of food vendors.
Perfect day trip - highly recommend to anyone looking to venture to Sun Moon Lake from Taipei. The car was very comfortable and we stopped in Taichung for dinner and bubble tea, as well!
Phyllis was an excellent guide. English Communication prior to meeting was prompt and clear. We used WhatsApp which made it easy. Phyllis arrived promptly at our hotel for the 7am pickup and her Mercedes van was super clean and comfortable. We had a party of 4 people so it was super spacious for us. The itinerary was adjustable but we just went with Phyllis recommendation of the Sun Moon boat ride, Xuanguang Temple, Ita Thao Pier Plaza, Cable Car, Ci'en Pagoda, then finally the Wenwu Temple. It was full but extremely fun day! We got back to Taipei around 8pm due to heavy traffic. I highly recommend this private tour to anyone, it’s worth every penny.
Great day out from Taipei to Sun Moon lake, which was beautiful and we spent around 3 hours there, followed by a visit to a gorgeous temple. We declined the opportunity of a hike. Phyllis was an excellent guide and driver. Long day, with 8 hours of driving.
We knew this would be a long day, but we really wanted to see the Sun Moon Lake without spending the night there. The trip did indeed take the full 12 hours, but we truly enjoyed the lake and the surrounding area. It was great to get away from Taipei and into the countryside and see somewhere that Taiwanese people like to vacation. Our guide, Phyllis was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly.
Sun moon lake one day trip was great. Johnny was excellent punctual friendly and helpful. Great transport for two 👍 and travelled in style
It was a wonderful trip and highly recommended. Our guide and driver Berry Tsai was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Thanks.
great tour outside of Taipei city three hours drive from Taipei city the lake community is great got a lot of options to spend a day. Recommend it if you like to see the country side. Our tour guided was very courteaus and took us all the interest point around the lake on a boat ride. Highly recommend to use them
We enjoyed having Garfield as our driver. He was very accommodating & always kept on eye out for us when we walked the street markets.
We started the day at 8:00 am with Danny as our driver/guide. He was punctual but need to look at him in the lobby bcoz he missed the placard with our name. It was a long drive and Danny shared his internet connection with us which made us busy uploading our pictures. Sun moon lake is an exciting experience.
Ryan , was so helpful to all of us considering that we were all Seniors, guiding us in every little way even during meal time. Highly recommended! He go out of his way to accompany us most especilallyin translating when buying souvenirs etc. Can’t name all the good things he had done to all of us.
I should give great thanks to my tour guide, Johnny. He took many very beautiful pictures for me, and introduced many sightseeings worth going. It would be my best memory in Taiwan. I highly recommend Phyllis Chartered tour, you deserve one.
Phyllis was the best to hang out with!! She definitely made sun moon lake a great day trip. She made sure we took lots of pictures!! Hands down the best experience!!! Definitely a must see.
The Sun Moon Lake Trip was memorable with stopping at most if not all of the scenic spots. It was amazing that we could do all these within a day and yet not feeling being pressurized. Our tour guide, Johnny, was excellent, impeccable service, paying attention to all details, and knowledgeable, which gave us such a good impression of Sun Moon Lake. We highly recommend Johnny if anyone prefers a private day trip to Sun Moon Lake.
I had a great time in my private tour with Ms. Hong to Sun Moon Lake. She was very pleasant, accommodating and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend taking this tour.
I totally recommend this excursion. Our guide Ryan made our day perfect. It took us to all the points we wanted to see Pagoda Hundred, Wenwu Temple and we could also do activities we wanted to do, the spectacular bike trail. Thank you very much to Ryan because he even made us a photographer (lovely photos), and took us in his super comfortable van. Thank you very much.
Exceptional tour, which allows you to see the beautiful "Sun Moon Lake" with a passionate and invested guide. There is plenty of time to enjoy on site, and the ride is in a very comfortable car. Thanks again to our guide for allowing us to discover this site. I strongly recommend in this turn to all those passing in Taipei!
