We enjoyed everything and were especially happy with James our knowledgeable tour guide and Blanco, our driver. Accommodations were very good and we enjoyed all the places we visited! Thanks for the wonderful tour.

Really terrific way to enjoy the eastern coast + center. From top to bottom of the country, the landscape, people, and cuisine are unmatched.
Itinerary is a solid balance of nature, native culture, history, food, temples.
Many tour highlights—at the top of the list is our guide Joseph Yi. Could not be more knowledgable, kind, responsive.
Hotel quality exceeded expectations.
If time allows, combine with the west coast tour.

A rainy tour from pineapple factory making our own pineapple cake to rainbow village to the beautiful flower market, it's all fun despite the rain and wind. Thanks to Mr. John Chan, our tour guide, who explained things about the tour and taiwan history that made the tour smooth and lively.

It wasn't much of a guided tour with a fun guide or fun facts, it's more of a personal driver type of trip where it's quiet during the drive. When we got to the destination, most of the time was for exploring on your own, which was fine for me but not very exciting otherwise. The first van and hotel to sun moon lake was very nice but the metro and van in Kaohshiung was not very nice. I traveled solo so the personal van escort and hotel was kinda worth it for me but otherwise I don't think it was worth the money, almost seven hundred for four days. Also the Kaohshiung guide had very bad time management. We were suppose to go to three destinations on the last day and spent forever at the first two places never mentioning we were short on time and towards the end I didn't get to have lunch and literally spent two minutes at the last place and barely made it to the hsr station. The call center was very supportive otherwise I would've given them less ratings.

Wonderfully surprised I was very satisfied with our tour of Taipei and the scenic places that gave inspiration. Our tour guide, Mr John Chan, was such a professional and a gentleman, always making sure our group had what we need beforehand and I'll try to remember the stories he shared while on the road on our bus. Planning a next visit already! Taiwan is as beautiful as its warm-hearted folks.

Tour departs every Wednesday.
Although it was a 4 day tour, the other 3 people were only doing two days. We visited a number of places including a wine centre, temples and pagodas. In the van the guide (I don't know his name) gave us information about each place but once we were out of the van, he seemed to only talk to those who were near him. Thus I felt that I missed out on some information. Also when we visited a pagoda, I was very slow walking uphill (sore foot) and when I reached the pagoda, he did not take any notice nor tell me where the others were. I looked around for a while and eventually went over to him and asked. By then it was too late for me to join them.
Sun Moon Lake is definitely worth seeing, especially when the sun is shining. You can borrow bikes from the hotel and ride around the lake on boardwalks.
On the Thursday afternoon I was put on a train to Kaohsiung and met on the platform by my new guide who took me to my hotel.
On the Friday we went to Kenting National Park which was quite interesting. Unfortunately we were unable to go to the lighthouse as the path was closed. My only complaint about this day was that I felt a bit rushed, that is, go to the sight, take photos and leave. I guess my expectations were a little different.
This guide, Mr Wong, was very informative and his English was good.
Unfortunately I did not see the sights of Kaohsiung on the Saturday as I was put on a high speed train back to Taipei before a typhoon hit. All I saw was when I had wandered about by myself early one morning.
Overall I would recommend this tour.

Outstanding Tour Guide (Joseph Yi) brought to life the numerous historical and cultural landmarks in Taiwan. He always did his best to ensure our safety, security and fun. He really went out of his way to accommodate our family and our wishes. I would definitely use Viator and request Joseph again on a future trip to Taiwan.

Awesome and accommodating tour guide! Recommended! Knowledgeable on every landmark and destination! He knows the history in every destination we went to. Very accommodating and understanding when it comes to tourists and he gives us ample time to shop and explore in each destination.
