About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- sarakb30 contributionsHighly recommend!Our tour guide, Paul, was phenomenal! He had us laughing all day, and he catered the tour to our preferences. The food recommendations were outstanding. Even though it was we a bit rainy it didn’t taint our experience one bit. He even offered to drop us off at a different location so we could do a little more sight seeing before heading back to our hotel. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Written 18 February 2025
- Elaine S0 contributionsPrivate English Guided Tour of Taipei, TaiwanJim was an excellent guide that took us all over places we would never have thought to go. It was so informative, so lovely, such a great driver. I highly recommend taking this tour. My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed it. We wish there had more time during the day to continue the tour.Written 18 February 2025
- 41carriea0 contributionsPrivate tour of TaiwanWe had booked a private 8 hour tour between our cruise ship arrival and flight departure in Taipei. Our driver, Jack Chou, picked us promptly at the port and personally arranged an itinerary for us based on the weather that day. We cannot express our appreciation enough for the amazing day we spent seeing sights it would have been impossible to see on our own. We walked through the forest to the Keelung waterfall, let a lantern off into the sky in Shifen and had a lovely lunch in Juifen. Jack then took us to Tapei where we enjoyed seeing the memorial to Chiang Kai1 Shek, zooming to the top of Taipei 101 and visiting an amazingly beautiful Tao temple. Our only regret is that we didn't book more time to spend in this lovely city! Thank you, Jack, for a wonderful day!Written 18 February 2025
- Alex L0 contributionsAmazing experience we’re all happy thanks Vincent.Vincent Hsu is a very articulated and knowledgeable in all of the places we went, he is so kind fluent in english so patience and knows how to handle tourists from other countries so with his Van using very comfortable.Written 18 February 2025
- 11heejungk0 contributionsA great day in Northern TaiwanThis was a fantastic day trip. Junior, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable, courteous, and helpful. Highly recommended.Written 16 February 2025
- theblueflyer0 contributionsAbsolutely the best! Thank you Vincent!We had Vincent Lee as our guide and he was absolutely the best we have had! He was very, very good at telling us the history and significance of every site and escorted us through each place. He had us hike up Elephant Mountain which was a bit of a challenge, however we felt very accomplished after climbing 43 flights of stairs (according to my apple watch). He had an uncanny ability to know how and when to avoid crowds. He is also an accomplished photographer and took photos of us in fun poses! Vincent was quite remarkable!Written 16 February 2025
- tysonp1080 contributionsVincent Lee Full City TourVincent did an amazing job. We were traveling with a 2 year old. He provided a car seat and had little toys for us to hide in the buildings for our two year old to find. Very thoughtful host. 10/10 must do tour if coming to Taipei.Written 15 February 2025
- qo3030 contributionsFantastically knowledgeable guide on an 8 hour day trip in Kaohsiung, TaiwanThe guide Charlie Lee was an outstanding guide on the 8 hour day trip - very knowledgeable about history and culture and a carefully planned itinerary. I was initially peeved that I had to pay double as a solo customer but I soon discovered it was worth it. He was very attentive and pleasant and I learned a lot about the city and its history and culture!Written 15 February 2025
- thanh n0 contributionsInterest tourMy guild is Hwang is knowledgabe about the tour and Taiwan history. It is a raining day but he make it interest. He also return my umbrella the next dayWritten 14 February 2025
- PTDOC0 contributionsFull day city tour of TaipeiWhile we had a great time on our private full day city tour of Taipei with Kiao Hei, we were disappointed in the ‘guide’ part of our day. Kiao Hei was a great driver. He was prompt, drove us safely to all points that we agreed on, was communicative via texting when necessary, took good photos, and was helpful with directions. He was very helpful planning the itinerary with our preference of doing more outdoor sites and activities. On the negative side, we were very disappointed in the lack of information we got for our stops. We went to the Chiang Kai-sheck Memorial, but did not get information about its history. We asked, but there seemed to be a language barrier and our questions on that and other things were not understood and often went unanswered. Our guide was basically a driver, and not really a guide. His English skills and sharing of information and history during this city tour was below the level of other tours we’ve taken with TripAdvisor. While we were disappointed in the language difficulties and lack of information, we did have an excellent day, got to all points agreed on. and enjoyed the city tour.Written 14 February 2025
- Kygreeneyedblond0 contributionsOur amazing day in Kaohsiung with JacksonMy husband & I had an amazing day with Jackson in Kaohsiung. We loved our time at Fo Guang Shan Buddha Temple Museum. Jackson immersed us in the Buddhist culture with his passion & knowledge. We felt the holiness of the place through him. We enjoyed all the experiences, including a calligraphy session and a prayer I got to write, hang, & head bowed, send. Jackson also took us to the Pagodas, we had an excellent local lunch, the Shoushan LOVE Lookout, The Pier2 Art District, & he managed a stop at a local bookstore to help me get a copy of Harry Potter in the local dialect (something I collect). Before heading back to the ship we stopped for boba tea! Jackson was the perfect guide to a wonderful city! Thanks again Jackson!Written 13 February 2025

Alex was an awesome guide for us. For this particular tour, it was worth it to go private, with our guide, as there were a lot of large group tours in tight spaces, especially in Juiffen. We were able to move about more freely in the small, tight spaces being just the two of us with our guide, Alex. He was a lot of fun to be with throughout the day. Well done!

We had an incredible day exploring northern Taiwan on a private tour. The pace was perfect — efficient without feeling rushed at any of the scenic spots. Opting for the 12 PM departure allowed us to end the day with a lovely dinner in Jiufen, where we enjoyed a beautiful view of the sea and mountains from the restaurant.
Paul Yang was our guide, and he truly enhanced the experience. His patience stood out, giving us extra time whenever needed, he also captured fantastic photos at the best locations. His knowledge of Jiufen's best routes and hidden shortcuts was greatly appreciated. As someone prone to carsickness, I really appreciated Paul's smooth driving and comfortable vehicle, making the journey even more enjoyable.
Would definitely recommend the tour & Paul.

Last minute booking for a day tour of the northern part of Taiwan. I always heard of the launching of the sky lantern and very much wanted to experience that. Well, I got my wish and it was fabulous. We booked a private tour with YOLO Taiwan to Jiufen, Yehliu and Pingxi (where we launched our lantern). Our guide was a wonderful lady called Richelle. She picked us up from our hotel (ON TIME too). She spoke fluent English and provided a lot of information along the drive. I was particularly impressed with all her presentations on her iPad such as videos of the national bird of Taiwan when we actually saw one (Taiwan blue magpie), and a music video of a song named after the road we were on.
At Pingxi where we launched our lantern, Richelle drove us along some back road to avoid all the traffic. Arranged the lantern and even took videos of us launching the lantern. When we were at Jiufen, it was raining. So instead of walking in the rain, I asked if we can enjoy some tea. Richelle took us to a hidden gem of a tea house overlooking the hillside. We have to walk through a narrow tunnel to get to the tea house. Quite an experience and I doubt I would find it myself.
So in general, we have a very warmth and friendly impression of Taiwan, partially thanks to Richelle.

Our day started early at 8AM. Day prior, our driver/guide Junior Wy sent a message thru WhatsApp confirming our tour. He was at our hotel at 8AM sharp. He drove a sedan (BMW) -- a very proficient driver who drove fast but safely.
Junior took us to Yehliu Geopark, Pingxi, Shifen, and Jiufen. Today was a sunny and humid day so I appreciated his effort to show us around despite the heat. He took us to routes that weren't packed with people and was able to show us a lot of places. We walked a lot and for me that's ok since I needed to burn calories anyway. On our way back home, he drove us to Keelung City and offered to take us to any other place we might want to see.
We were back at our hotel by 3PM. Overall, this tour was very much worth our time and money. It was convenient, safe, comfortable, and so much better compared to if we joined a group tour. Junior was a good tour guide who spoke good English; was proactive; and with a great personality. 10/10 will book YOLO Taiwan again when I go back to Taipei!!

Vincent Hsu is the best of the best! Having been on many group tours, this tops the list as our favorite tour ever. Even though it was a long and tiring day with young children and older family members, our tour guide was very aware of how to handle each type of energy level and interests — ranging from chatting with the older crew to playing games with our two kids to keep them very engaged. Everything was precisely timed and he got us to a dinner punctually at 7pm even without rushing!
Best part? We didn’t have to stress about taking photos throughout the tour. Vincent takes beautiful pics and zaps them to you at the conclusion of the tour. He pours his heart into his work — you won’t be disappointed!

Our tour guide, Caleb, messaged the night before to introduce himself and provide details on our pick-up/location the following day.
On the day of, pick up was exactly on time. The private car used for our transportation was definitely luxury -- clean, comfortable seating (enough for 6 passengers), air-conditioned, and bottles of water were provided.
Caleb provided us with an overview of our day and we immediately headed out. Our first stop was Shifen Waterfall -- such lovely views and Caleb guided us to various locations which provided different views of the waterfall. Our next stop was Pingxi, where we wrote our messages and released our the sky lantern -- such an emotional and exhilarating experience. From there, it was walking through the streets and marketplace of Jiufen Old Street. We stopped for a delicious lunch at a restaurant overlooking the city and provided a great view of the sea. Our final stop was Yehliu Geopark, which Caleb intentionally scheduled as our last stop (to avoid the heat and crowds of people) -- which we greatly appreciated.
Caleb was an exceptional guide. For those wanting an English speaking guide, he is the perfect choice! He was engaging and made for great conversation. He went at a comfortable and easy pace, allowing brief stops and frequent bathroom breaks. He also offered to take our photo at various times throughout the tour, which was so helpful (and he often had suggestions which made for great photo ops).
Overall, this tour comes highly recommended. We are already looking forward to our next trip to Taiwan with our family, and will definitely reach out to book our tours with YOLO Taiwan.

Wonderful private tour with our guide Vincent Lee. He was knowledgeable, shared lots of information about geography, history, culture, and religion. He had videos and written info for us to review as he drove, and we enjoyed conversing with him. Vincent came prepared with extra umbrellas to shield us from the sun or rain and wipes to freshen up and wipe our brows when we returned to the car. Vincent provided very personalized service. He listened to our interests, steered us to the stands at the market we were most interested in -finding us places to purchase wax apples and sugar apples, have tea, and get sausages with sticky rice. Vincent knew the best places for viewing spots and acted as our professional photographer with some very creative photos. This is a great tour and good value!

We had Harry for guide our private tour couples tour. As with all tours to a new place, the experience is a combination of both the places we visit and the guide who takes us there. Harry was a wonderful and sincere multilingual personality to have along showing us the beautiful sites, smells and sounds and even tastes of Jiufen and Pingxi. The vehicle was a late model Nissan X-Trail, Harry was punctual, very communicative, energetic and knowledgeable. We were taken off the usual tourist route where possible and used locals only paths to avoid the crowded queues in some spots. Lunch was taken care of personally by Harry who even went to the kitchen to make sure our food was compliant with our halal requirements. We met a wonderful tea master lady who treated us to a variety of amazing taiwan teas and learnt about the tea ceremony and facts behind the rituals. A wonderful day and experience, where we made new friends and shared many great life experiences. Highly recommended.

Hicks was a fantastic tour guide and we highly recommend you take a tour with him. He showed my wife and I around increíble spots in Taipei. He was so kind, had many insights on great photography spots, local food, and history. His car was very clean and comfortable and he provided water bottles, rain coats, and umbrellas. Thank you for everything Hicks!

Vincent made the trip a complete breeze for our whole family. We appreciated the door to door pick up/drop off and the conversations and commentary that he provided along the way. This trip was the absolute highlight of our time in Taiwan and we would highly recommend. Our mum has a disability, and Vincent was incredible accomodating and took care to plan the itinerary around her needs. We also loved the sites we visited and felt like it presented a different side of Taiwan, while including unique experiences such as writing and lighting lanterns. Thanks again for the fantastic experience!
