          Full day city tour of Taipei
          While 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.

          Our amazing day in Kaohsiung with Jackson
          My 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!

          Best Tour Guide
          Vincent Hsu is the most excellent tour guide I have had. He is very fluent in English, knowledgeable, patient and he even help us with other task like sending us to the best restaurants and hot springs facility in Beitou. He translated and explained everything on our behalf. He even escorted to groceries and ATM.

          Beautiful experience!
          This tour was amazing! All 3 sites we visited were full of history, culture and amazing food with picturesque moments at every turn. Our guide Alex was kind, friendly and was able to take us to local areas to really soak in Taiwan culture. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Taipei and wanting to escape the city for a day.

          Yolo Taiwan- Full Day Private Custom Taipei city tour.
          Vincent and Henry are our awesome tour guides from Yolo Taiwan tours. Very informative tour. We learned about the customs and traditions of Taipei. We had no dull moments with this 2. Compassionate and caring with our family members with mobility issues. We definitely recommend them, and I will choose them again when we visit Taipei, Taiwan again.

          The perfect day in Taiwan!
          We had a fantastic day with Vincent. He took us to Yin Yang Sea, Golden Waterfall, Jiufen Old Street, Yehliu Geopark and Shifen Railway Station Pingxi sky lantern activity! We had lunch at a local Tea House with amazing views. Releasing the lantern was a special experience. He really personalized the tour for us. Thank you, Vincent!

          A private 8.5 hour private car tour of Taipei that was very informative & personable!
          Hicks Wang is very perceptive in determining the specific interests of his customers. I'm traveling as a solo female senior from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I'm interested in the culture, architecture, history, politics and different religions of Taiwan and how they came to be! Through my questions, my guide Hicks quickly picked up on my curiosities and with much genuine appreciation for my curiosities he listened, answered & clarified his answers to my questions making sure that I understood his answers. His choices for site visits, the pacing to get to and walk around at those very interesting sites was so fabulous! For example, Taipei 101, the Chaing Kai-Shek Memorial Hall & Gardens, 101 Designers (Louis Vuitton, etc.) Retail Plaza, that I would like to return to Taipei to see the New Years Lazer light show at Taipei 101! Hicks is an amazing, knowledgeable & personable tour guide! I was very blessed to have him as my private guide! He communicated with me by WhatsApp in the morning before my solo arrival in the Keelung cruise port terminal. We exchanged identifying pics to help in finding each other quickly, and along with a sign with my name on it, we spotted each other despite the 1000+ disembarking people from the cruise ship's arrival! He is intelligent, speaks English very precisely and he succeeds in providing his customers with a very satisfying first time exciting customized visit to Taipei.

          Fantastic Solo Tour Taipei
          I had an amazing solo tour with Hicks Wang. From the start, he went above and beyond to ensure a great experience. He met me outside Fushan Soy Milk, patiently waited while I ate, and then guided me to the places I wanted to see, like Elephant Mountain and Taipei 101, along with hidden gems I didn’t know about. His excellent photography skills, deep knowledge of the area, and accommodating nature made every stop engaging and enjoyable. At times, it felt more like exploring with a close friend than with a tour guide. In the end, he kindly dropped me off at the High-Speed Rail station so I could return to my city. Our parting felt bittersweet. I highly recommend him to any traveler seeking a personalized and memorable tour!

          We had the best day. Nicholas was an incredible guide. Wonderfully safe driver, super friendly and enthusiastic and just an all round amazing tour guide. If you’re visiting Taipei, this one day tour is a great experience to blow your mind with very different scenery and expedites. Highly recommend and thanks again Nicholas for a great day.

          Great day trip with Vincent
          Vincent was our private driver/guide for the day. He introduced himself two days prior via WhatsApp and was prompt in picking us up. He was very friendly and accommodated our requests. The van was comfortable for the 5 of us. Even with the pouring rain/wind, Vincent was enthusiastic about taking us places, telling us about the area/history, sharing his local insights, and taking our pictures. He also took us to places with clean bathrooms which was very appreciated. Thanks to Vincent for a great day! 5 stars, highly recommend Vincent and YOLO Taiwan!

          Perfect trip!
          Let me start with BOOK THIS TOUR, and if you can request Nicolas! My grandmother and I had a spectacular experience. It was a private tour so it was just the two us with Nicolas. He was punctual and a safe driver. We got to see and taste so many wonderful treats. We got to see different amazing sights that Taipei has to offer. We were able to go at our own pace; Nicolas showed patience with my grandmother as we were exploring. Nicolas was so knowledgeable and welcoming—not to mention but also a great photographer. Definitely a trip worth booking.

          Customized tour with Junior
          I had one full day in Taipei and wanted to be able to see the city. Junior was perfect. He whacked me around the city to all the most important sites and provided a strong factual background about Taiwan and Taipei. If you’re looking for a customized tour of the city, you can’t go wrong with this.

        We just spent an excellent day atTaroko Gorge National Park. We visited the main attractions, had a few short walks, and enjoyed the scenery and views. Our guide, Vincent Lee, has done an outstanding job accommodating our priorities, constraints, and ever changing weather conditions. We greatly appreciate his "custom" private tour and strongly recommend the company and Vincent Lee for your future travel plans

        Went with a group of friends to visit Taroko National Park; our tour guide was James and he was fantastic. He made sure to make us feel welcomed and was very engaging with our group. We followed an itinerary that was well planned out and got to see many beautiful view points at the park. I would highly recommend James and his Yolo Taiwan if you’re thinking about going on the tour!

        Took the full-day trip with pickup from our downtown hotel in Taipei. Communication with YOLO Taiwan and our assigned private tour guide, Steven, was excellent. Steven arrived at the appointed time and was very accommodating of our needs throughout the day.

        Steven made convenience stops along the way and was attentive to our tendency to get motion sick in the car and so took care when traveling the windy mountainous roads.

        Steven's English, humor and knowledge of the Taroko area and its indigenous peoples was fantastic. Steven was always there to take photos of us. We saw so much beauty along the way. Thank you, Steven, for the amazing trip and for helping us to create lasting memories of our visit to Taiwan!

        Steven Huang was my guide. I had to pay double the posted rate since I was the only person on the trip. However, Steven was an excellent guide and the sites I saw were truly awe inspiring. The higher price was still worth it when his narration was combined with scenes of very narrow and very tall, stratified marble canyon walls. He said the Baiyang Trail was just reopened after a landslide had been cleared away a few days earlier. The Water Curtain at the end of the trail was certainly refreshing as cool spring water flowed on to you from the cave ceiling - a welcome relief from the heat of a mid-August daytime hike. Steven came prepared with rain ponchos for us.. The 12-hour tour lasted 14 instead due to high traffic volume on our way back to Taipei.

        We booked Yolo Taiwan twice for our day trip to Taroko Gorge and Yang Ming Shan National Park / Shifen Waterfall.

        Our guide Mr Ted Chiang is friendly and knowledgeable. He cater to all our need and requirement.

        As we are Muslims traveller, he went out of his way to cater to our dietary needs and source for Muslim friendly/ halal restaurants and we deeply appreciated that.

        As we have a toddler, he entertain our kid and watch for his safety too. Not any moment we felt pressure or rush for time. Once, we drive by and saw cherry blossoms, our guide stop by even though it’s not part of the itinerary so we can take beautifully photos.

        Once again, I would recommend Yolo Taiwan and thank again Mr Ted Chiang for such a memorable experience!

        Caleb is a star. Took us to all the highlights of Taroko Gorge, knew all the scenic shots and helped us shoot them, shared the perfect balance of rest and storytelling on the ride there and back, and customized our trip just right, with a stop to delicious aboriginal cuisine and a sweet treat. Had us singing we love millet wine, and Taiwan by the night’s end.

        We’ll be back, thanks for showing us every reason we should be, Caleb.

        Lots of love for the motherland,

        630am picked up from one of the many designated hotels in Taipei (driver details and contact were also given a day before; very assured of preparation). Caleb was great; provided lots of info, friendly and tactful to our needs (we have an elderly walking the trail). Lunch (our own expense) at aboriginal place was a great experience and reasonably priced.

        Like many other reviews, agreed this trip is fantastic. Covered many icon areas and given sufficient time to take pics; namely Qingshui Cliff, Taroko Gorge, Shakadang Trail, Yanzihkou Trail (Swallow Grotto), Baiyang Trail, Tunnel of Nine Turns Trail, Eternal Spring Shrine.

        We returned at 630pm and would recommend this day trip to all. And great work Caleb! Thanks

        We had an early morning pick up at the W Hotel in Taipei for a party of 6, including a 7yo girl. The professional & experienced driver took us to 8 sites with Taroko Gorge and stopped within for a yummy lunch. Our guide, York, planned our site visits having plenty of time to walk trails or bridges. To ensure our safety from falling rocks w/i the cave, he stopped to pick up helmets. York brought bottled waters, ponchos, and made sure to ask if we needed restroom breaks at key stops. Overall, even if your visit to Taiwan is short, this private tour is a once in a lifetime experience!

        Taroko Gorge was incredible well worth long day from Taipei. It was an all day excursion (picked up at hotel at 630am and dropped off close to 630pm).

        Hicks was our tour guide. Sharing key information was expected. But, he also knew Taroko Gorge well enough to understand current construction situation and most importantly how to avoid mass of tour busses.

        All the areas of interest- Shakadong Trail, Baiyang Trail, Swallow Grotto, Tunnel of nine turns AND more were all memorable. And, must see! Experience through Baiyang Trail is unforgettable.

        Visit to Taroko and Hicks as tour guide/driver is a must.

        Be sure to wear comfortable shoes as we clocked over 22,000 steps on the tour. Hicks will be prepared othe items needed, especially on Baiyang Trail but might be good to carry small flashlight or use your prone. I would also recommend pack some snacks. There is a small Family mart and food stalls but not the greatest range of choices.

        Well worth it!

        James was a great guide for our group to Taroko Gorge. He adapted the tour based on my mom’s mobility and did what he could to optimize our schedule so we could still see a lot and minimize the traffic we sat in on the way back to Taipei. It was beautiful and so much fun!
