Friendly, thoughtful guide; shared history, avoided crowds, took photos, and went above and beyond. Highly recommended!!

Published on Dec, 2024

Mr Hicks Wang, our driver/guide was so friendly and thoughtful throughout the trip. He was introducing us with the history of the places we visited. He even bought us snacks out of his own pocket! We were really thankful to have him as he showed us to places where there were less crowd and he also helped us took photo/video at some location. A really warm and friendly driver you can count on. Highly recommended!

Wonderful, informative journey

Published on Dec, 2024

We enjoyed the most memorable day with our tour guide Jeffrey who provided a flawless, impeccable, information-packed journey around the sites we visited in Taiwan! Not only was he full of historical and cultural insights, but he was such a positive, friendly and accommodating guide and my partner and I thoroughly enjoyed chatting and getting to know him. I would gladly come back again with more friends and request for him specifically! Thank you for taking us everywhere and painting a wonderful picture of your beautiful country.

Great experience with YOLO, great tour guide!

It was a rainy day, but it has not dampen our moods! 胡岱京車導 was very patient and helpful, and definitely made the tour an enjoyable for me. He has great knowledge on Taiwan’s history and I really enjoyed the sharing. He also gave great suggestions for our next Taiwan trip! 5-star guide!
