Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- JMK-Pittsburgh0 contributionsExcellent Day TripMy wife and I booked a private day trip with My Taiwan Tours and we’re quite pleased with it. I developed a list of places that we wanted to visit. They lined up David Lin as our tour guide along with a driver. The car was comfortable and both the guide and the driver were top notch. Our trip lasted 8 hours and we visited Yehliu Geopark, Golden Waterfall, Jiufen Old Street, Shifen Waterfall and Shifen Old Street. There was a lot of variety to the sights and the day was very enjoyable. Prices were reasonable. Highly recommended.Written 16 March 2024
- kenee20240 contributionsHighly recommendThe whole process from booking to the tour was smooth. We accidentlly double booked the tour initially and we got a refund without issues. All correspondence was done through email so as long as you have access to WiFi while you're inTaipei, the tour guide can reach you and communicate. We were picked up by the tour guide and the driver promptly at our airbnb. This was our first time in Taiwan and it was a really nice way to see taiwan beyond taipei and also chat with a local about the culture, recommendations, etc. We spent just the right amount of time at each of the locations it never felt rushed or too slow. The site are incredible, beautiful. Melody was amazing and I highly recommend!Written 11 February 2024
- 805cristens0 contributionsFun, interesting and awesome day tour!Vita was an amazing tour guide! She was so friendly, fun and knowledgeable . We had such an enchanting time building and releasing our lanterns; taking in the wonderous views of the waterfalls and visiting the stunning villages of Shifen and Jiufen. Even the soft rain could not dampen the day. Thank you Vita Chen and My Taiwan Tours for making great memories .Written 8 February 2024
- sjgjess10 contributionsWonderful tourWe had the pleasure of spending the day with Vita, a lovely, knowledgeable guide. We loved the entire tour, but my daughter’s favorite experience was making lanterns in Shifen. In fact, she said it was the best tour she’d ever been on. And she’s been on a lot of tours in a lot of places. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to sit down and eat with Vita. She knows the food. She knows how to order it. It was so helpful!Written 13 January 2024
- jlin8280 contributionsAmazing "White Glove" Experience- Highly Recommend!We are a family of 6 (2 seniors, 2 adults, 2 kids) that booked a private, custom tour around western Taiwan (Taichung, Alishan, Sun Moon, etc). I did a ton of research beforehand, and even with the thousands of positive reviews, was still a "bit" skeptical that we would have the perfect trip I envisioned. But I was WRONG. And they totally exceeded my expectations. Jessie was our tour guide, and Mr. Lai was our driver -- both were consummate professionals, incredibly friendly, and maybe most importantly, unbelievably flexible. Everything we asked, it felt like they went "an extra mile" to make our experience memorable and fun. For example- on a few days, even though the "official" agenda only had a few experiences booked, Jessie took the initiative to fill in the gaps with things we didn't even know we could do that were super-fun (and educational even!). Nothing felt rushed, everything just felt like it went like clockwork. I don't write many reviews. But this one I'm more than happy to do so. You won't go wrong with MyTaiwanTour (and if you do- ask for Jessie, she's great)!Written 7 January 2024
- sarahpemberton050 contributionsAmazing Flexible Private Custom ToursExtremely impressed with My Taiwan Tour. Ivy was excellent with the trip planning stages accommodating many last-minute changes and researching our locations and time allocation. She made sure the drivers knew exactly where to go, even the most obscure places. When we were there everything went effortlessly. Our drivers Jaron and Ken were both fantastic. Very professional, prompt, accommodating and informative. Both also had great recommendations to add to our trip and you could really tell they were working hard to make sure you saw and did as much as you could. We very much appreciated them both. If you want an exceptional tour to Taiwan, then this is the company for you. I had a very specific tour in mind which they executed flawlessly. I had looked at a lot of custom tours for Taiwan and the prices for My Taiwan Tour are very reasonable and they clearly do a lot more research than other companies into what you are trying to do so there is no wasted time on the ground. Excellent all around, could not recommend more highly.Written 4 January 2024
- dmm209010 contributionsExcellent island tour with MyTaiwanTourThis was a well organized tour, which allowed us to see many of the highlights of the island. We did the 6 day Around Taiwan private tour. Everything went as advertised and arranged. The hotels were uniformly good. We did opt for the nicer grouping of hotels. Communication with the office was easy and they were responsive. The highlight was our guide Ken. He is very knowledgeable about the country, and willing to share his opinions. He was also our driver, and we felt we were in good hands with him. He is a careful driver, which we appreciated. Note that this itinerary does require a fair amount of time in the car going from place to place. I would suggest that if you have specific places that you want to see, or spend more time in, that you arrange that in advance with the office. The days are full, and there isn't time for any impromptu detours to sites. Having said that, Ken was great about minor detours or quick stops for a photo, or to sample some roadside produce, etc. All in all we were quite pleased with the trip, and with MyTaiwanTour.Written 29 December 2023
- DutchVagrant0 contributionsMy Taiwan Tour - Custom Trip ReviewI recently had a fantastic experience with My Taiwan Tours and felt compelled to write about it. I'm a solo traveler and never travel with group tours as I prefer my own unique experience; and hardly ever do I book a tour with a guide as I'm more inclined to figure everything out myself. But because of the itinerary I drew up along with all of the activities' I wanted to do in Taiwan, this time I thought it was appropriate to hire a guide, and I'm glad I did. It's been years since I worked with a company to plan a trip; so it doesn't happen very often, but here is my review of My Taiwan Tours; they deserve it! To start, there is no "tour" for me to select to review specifically as my trip was completely custom, so here is a quick overview of where I went over the course of 13 days in Taiwan; I essentially made a loop around the country. This includes places I stayed overnight at along with a few places of note that I also stopped at along the way: Taipei - Jiufen - Kavalan Whisky Distillery - Taroko National Park - Sun Moon Lake - Chiayi - Kaohsiung - Tainan - Taichung - Lukang - Taipei. It was a fast paced itinerary packed with activities every single day; which is the way I like it. I could write pages about every single place I visited and every activity I did along the way, but I want this review to focus on the people that helped me along the way. Rest assured that every single city was great in its own way, and all of the activities I was able to do will be ones I remember forever. I have nothing but great things to say about everywhere that I went. I will specifically mention the food very quickly though; I don't consider myself a "foodie" but I have to say, Taiwan may have the best food I've ever had on vacation. My guide, Vincent, was awesome. He did such a great job every single day. He knew all of the local places to go and eat that made the trip so much more authentic to me, and even knew all of the checkpoint schedules when driving through Taroko in order to avoid waiting hours at them had we arrived late, which never happened. I never would have known that had I been on my own. He's also very well traveled (maybe even more than me) and is very knowledgeable about photography, so we were on the same page about a lot of things over the course of 13 days and he understood everything I wanted to accomplish. We were able to visit every place listed on the itinerary plus many others because of his good planning. If you get Vincent as your guide consider yourself lucky. Speaking of good planning, before the trip I worked with Vicky at My Taiwan Tours to put together my itinerary. She also did an excellent job, especially considering I'm not the type of person to just select a pre-arranged itinerary and go with it. Mine was a truly custom trip and she took great care in planning it while also making sure it was doable. Had I not received any guidance there would be no way I could have accomplished what I wanted and it probably would have been very stressful. I very much appreciated her taking my giant list and narrowing it down to a trip that was excellent while also fitting in to my time constraints. Taiwan as a country is really special to me now, and I'd love to return someday as my list of places that I want to see still has too many locations on it that I didn't have time to visit on this trip. I had high expectations, and somehow, they were all exceeded.Written 3 December 2023
- misssarahtravels20190 contributionsFantastic dayOur tour ended up being a nice small group of 4. Vincent, our tour guide, was fantastic. He told us lots of stories and answered all of our questions and flexibly and expertly tailors our day so we got the most of it. The scenery was stunning. Lunch was amazing- I requested a vegan meal ahead of time and was served a tasty banquet!Written 4 November 2023
- cindytuisku0 contributionsBest Day Ever!This tour was one of the best days ever!!!! I came to Taiwan to learn about tea and this was an exceptional opportunity. It was well balanced with scenery, tea lessons, food, and visiting a tea plantation. I could not have asked for more! This was my first day in Taiwan, getting my trip off to an amazing start. The guide even helped me with some things I was concerned about later in my trip. I cannot recommend this trip highly enough!Written 3 November 2023
- Trumpboyer860 contributionsLovely view from the top- Do book your tickets online at least one day ahead as there is a limited amount of tickets per day only. - Once up there, you can request the guide to help you take photos using your phone. Your phone have to be placed inside a provided plastic case that is attached to your lanyard. - By booking the tickets, you get a special guide bringing the group up, cutting queues.Written 30 October 2023
- markhN3494QX0 contributionsSee the amazing Taroko GorgeThis was a great trip to see the Taroko Gorge. The planned trip had to be rescheduled due to a typhoon, but it happened. Alex was a lively and informed guide who made the experince easy and enjoyable.Written 12 August 2023
- Judy Y0 contributionsMagical Taiwan! Thank you, Mark!Mark Chou is an excellent tour guide. He’s super thoughtful, responsive, and a wonderful storyteller! My mom, teens, & I enjoyed our time together! So much fun & highly recommended 😎Written 8 August 2023
- alexcw2280 contributionsDay trip to Yehliu Geopark, Jiufen, and ShifenFirst time in Taipei for me and my family and what an incredible experience it was. Although it was only a 1-day tour, Mark was still able to show us how beautiful the landscapes of Taiwan are; we travelled to Yehliu Geopark, Jiufen, and Shifen where we wrote Chinese calligraphy on a paper lantern to light into the sky. Mark's sheer knowledge of the history of Taiwan combined with his open nature and fluency in multiple languages made the tour evermore special. His passion for adventure was clear throughout the trip and talking to you/asking questions always felt natural. Highly recommend visiting Taipei/Taiwan and allowing Mark to lead the way! Thanks for everything, cheers.Written 5 July 2023
- Trek3214910 contributionsIncredible one day tour of Taipei!We only had a few short days in Taipei and decided on a one day private day tour of the surrounding areas outside of Taipei. Gorgeous!! We were lucky to have Mark as our Tour Director who gave us not only a day to remember in Yehli, Jiufen and Pingxi; and, a wonderful rich history lesson of the area. We even ended our tour with a special lantern experience. Mark was highly conversational, caring and very knowledgeable. We weren’t sure if we could fit it all in on our 8-hr tour but Mark made it work and we saw everything we wanted to, along with some very instagrammable pics! Ask for Mark, you won’t be disappointed! Fluent in English, Mandarin and German which was a bonus for us! Thank you for the incredible day tour. It was unforgettable!Written 1 July 2023

Although the weather was anything but optimal (there was low cloud and some rain) I still had a great time, mostly due to my guide Kylie who was knowledgeable, spoke excellent English and maintained a positive attitude throughout.
She was also helpful in navigating the buses needed to reach the destination. It is important to be aware that the bus rides are quite long and the time that you get back to the MRT station will depend on the walking speed, weather, traffic conditions, etc.
The walking requires a moderate level of fitness as there is some ascent and descent involved and of course be prepared for all types of weather....
All in all it was a good experience and I would recommend this trip to anyone wishing to escape Taipei for a day to the countryside.

The tour took place although we were just two customers. Amy was a great host and let us take our time whenever we wanted. Only the bus rides were a little exhausting/annoying so I'd recommend to bring something to entertain you and a scarf for the AC.

What better way to explore a new place than to climb to the top of a smoking volcano and view it from above!? Our guide Summer had all the Taipei facts and figures at her fingertips and wowed us with her knowledge of history and nature. Not only did we get to see, smell and stand on a volcano for the first time, we learned so much about the wildlife and history of Taipei. The hot spring foot spa on the way down was a delightful bonus for tired feet. It’s a tough hike but great for the thigh muscles. Ten out of ten!
