Great variety of foods!

Published on Jun, 2024

Our guides were wonderful and knowledgeable and I very much enjoyed the opportunity to speak to them about their experiences living in Taipei. We tried so many wonderful foods at local spots I would not have found on my own. Memorable experience!!

Amazing food tour, best in Taipei

Published on Jun, 2024

I booked this tour at the last moment but it turned out to be a fantastic experience. Tina, our guide was an absolute delight and one of the nicest persons i met in Taiwan. The food tour at $75 is a bit pricey but I would certainly recommend it over other tours. I did 2 more food tours in Taiwan and this was eons better both in terms of food as well as storytelling.

Fantastic… you have to try this experience!

The tour was amazing and the tour guide was really friendly and told us a lot of info not just about food… We tasted a huge variety of food, I warmly recommend this experience!!!

Great way to get to know Taipei!

Published on Dec, 2023

Our tour guide was incredible. So knowledgeable and so friendly. The food was delicious. A really great way to get to know about local ingredients in the market and some typical foods. Many great items to enjoy! Be ready to eat!

It's all about the food!

Published on Nov, 2023

We thoroughly enjoyed this introduction to Taiwanese markets and fruit! The pace was comfortable, we were never rushed, but we also didn't linger in any one spot. The food selection was terrific, mostly local classics, mixed with a couple more modern treats. Jean was a wonderful guide, giving us a quick intro to each food, then letting us enjoy.
