Honda was an excellent guide. Picked us up from our hotel on time. He asked about our interests and preferences and then curated the day’s activities accordingly. Sun Moon Lake was a delightful experience especially when sampled on foot, by bike (standard and electric available), ferry and cable car. Honda used recordings of activities to augment specific points of cultural significance as well as share information about street market food options and cold black tea! We even had an opportunity for a photograph with indigenous musicians. Our appreciation for Taiwan’s commitment to respecting the island’s environment and nature’s balance increased as well. We were also impressed with Honda’s readiness for any issues that may get dampened the trip’s experience such as rain (he had ponchos), heat (he had water) or communication (command of English and use of What’s App to track our pick-up location during periods of free time were appreciated. Excellent day trip from Taichung! Note - per the itinerary details you will pay your way to ride bike-ferry-cable car so make sure you have Taiwan currency ($900-$1200 TWD) for these activities and street food for lunch. There were also shopping options which we did not pursue as our interests lied elsewhere. Highly recommend and I would do it against n with the same guide!!
