Great tour

Published on Apr, 2024

James was an amazing tour guide. He was friendly, educational, and spoke very good English. I felt like I learned a lot about Taiwanese history, politics, and culture. Some places I had already been to but he offered new information! I was traveling by myself at the time and he made for great company while also remaining professional. I highly recommend!

Great experience

Published on Mar, 2024

Our tour guide Kuan catered to our needs and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the places we visited. Maybe stinky tofu is not my thing but good to try.

Terrific day tour

Published on Mar, 2024

It was a terrific tour that exceeded my expectations. My family and I enjoyed the tour and learned a lot. It was such a fun day! And I can’t say enough about how great Tony, our tour guide was. He was friendly, informative, and you could tell he enjoyed guiding tours. He even took pictures of us using his camera and gave us the memory card at the end of the tour. If you’re looking for a fun day tour from Taipei, I highly recommend this tour!

Charming trek to Maokong

Published on Nov, 2023

Paul was fun and light-hearted as we explored Maokong. He shared a lot of information about the area and handled my questions with ease. The views: beautiful. The guide: wonderful. The food: delectable.

Excellent tour with Leo from Justaiwantour!

Published on Jan, 2023

Leo was right on time to pick us up. He was a skilled, careful driver, and we felt very safe with him. His command of English was excellent; there was no struggle to have a fluid conversation back and forth. Leo was also highly conscientious, making sure that we had the best experience he could provide. He was knowledgeable and very kind. Lunch at Big Tea Pot was scrumptious—6 or 7 courses made vegan upon request, reasonably priced. What we didn’t finish, we packed and took with us in a small Tupperware container we brought with us. The day was positively packed with learning, hiking, eating, and a little shopping. We hope to take more tours with Leo and Justaiwantour in the future!
