Jessica was an incredible tour guide, we had a very short time in Taipei (only 4 hours in the city) and Jessica managed to squeeze in key destinations, amazing sights, and incredible off the beaten path locations. I couldn't recommend her more for a tour, she made it both informative and incredibly fun and helped us find everything we were looking for in Taipei!

Our introduction to the wonderful city of Taipei by our guide Daphne was fabulous! Shortly after the reservation was confirmed she contacted us and sent us the link for our meeting location. On the day of our tour, she guided us through the cultural history surrounding Liberty Square, then walked us through the nuances of the subway system instilling enough confidence we can continue to explore the city using the subway rail. The stroll through Ximen area location of the East Gate, textiles, Chinese alchemists, food markets, THE purveyors of coffee beans grown and sold in Taiwan (not extensively marketed as it is a scarce commodity, with a stop for Mango Shaved Ice ( perfect balance of fresh mangos and iced shaved milk - not unnaturally sweet, cool, and smooth on the palate along with a sampling of brown sugar encrusted ginger (yum if you are a tea lover). Our purposeful wandering took us to Pier 5 - great place to rent a bike and enjoy the river trails or hang out at one of the cocktail or beer garden booths. Daphne also interpreted the religious customs for temples visited to include the Longshan Temple and the herbalists in the temple’s vicinity. We sampled a cooling herbal tea which helped you feel better - was a very hot and humid day. Daphne’s presentation of the visited parts of the city was so engaging-we never noticed the heat and humidity until asked about it-it was that easy to remain engaged in our tour. Recommend with 5 stars!!

As with all these things - the tour is nothing you couldn't do yourself but to have someone take you round and explain all the sights, history and inside thoughts and knowledge it really is great. Taiwan is also a very sprawling city - being able to have someone with you jumping on busses and showing you the sights and explaining their significance really does make it so easy and worth while.
