3-Day Alishan (Chiayi) & Sun Moon Lake (Nantou) Tour from Taipei (Includes Sunrise Forest Train & Sun Moon Lake Boat Ticket)

The trip was amazing! Vaness was knowledgeable and accomodative. The trip was smooth with the guide’s driving and explanation throughout. Vaness made the experience so much more enjoyable with his easygoing personality and genuine enthusiasm. Itinerary was well-planned and it didn’t feel rushed; there’s ample time to explore the different attractions and enjoy the scenery. The only tiny shortfall was the accomodation at Alishan which was a little dated, but most of the accommodations around that area are about the same. Overall, would recommend if you are looking for a short well planned trip out of Taipei.

The trip was very fulfilling and enjoyable. The itinerary was well-planned, allowing ample time to explore each attraction. The hotels were conveniently located near the sights, offering beautiful views. Our tour guide, Vanness, was very professional, attentive, and thoughtful. At each attraction, he provided detailed explanations of its history and special significance, and also thoroughly informed us about the best routes, photo spots, and optimal viewing locations. He was also very approachable, witty, and humorous. Not only could he flexibly adjust the itinerary as needed, but he also frequently chatted and laughed with us throughout the journey, sharing insights into Taiwan's unique cuisine and local customs in a lively way, which made the trip continuously entertaining. I highly recommend this tour!👍

this tour turned out to be the highlight of my taiwan trip. am travelling solo but the whole experience was smooth and hassle-free from start to finish. the hotel arrangements were really nice and comfortable — definitely something we appreciated after long day tours. Transfers were organized and seamless, which made the trip even more relaxing. Special thanks to our tour guide (Jason Wu) who was not only a safe and skilled driver, but also very kind, accommodating, and always willing to assist us. He even helped us take lots of photos throughout the trip, making the experience extra memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a convenient and enjoyable tour experience! #JasonWolf

Initially there were some hiccups to the booking due to change of dates. Luckily after that all sorted out and we managed to go for the trip. The whole package was very worth it. Everything was being planned for. The 2 hotels booked for the 2 nights were clean and spacious. Special shout out to our tour guide Xiao Hei who was very attentive, accommodative, helpful and caring. He even prepared umbrellas, ponchos, shoe covers, hand warmers for us during the trip. In total, there were 5 of us in the group which made it easy for us to mingle and to know new friends from other countries. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves during the trip.

This was such a value-for-money tour. 2 nights hotel were at least 4 stars: Alishan Gou Hotel & Sun Moon Lake Apollo (note: each booking may differ), but I had a comfortable rest with large, comfortable and clean rooms even as a solo traveller. Johnny, our guide, was amazing. He shared interesting facts about each place, while also giving sufficient freedom to explore on our own. His driving was also safe and his 7 seater car was very comfortable, especially since for mountain routes to Alishan. The itinerary was a good mix of nature, beautiful sunsets + sunrises, shopping in Taichung plus even some free time to do an evening cycle at sun moon lake if you wish to. He brought us to sample tea at a tea shop in Alishan, but there was 0 pressure to buy (he in fact left us for free time). The only small point is that WhatsApp communication is only a day before from the guide, and I was initially a bit worried. But everything else was great.

This tour is one for the books! 🥳Despite the 4-hour drive to Alishan (with breaks in between) our guide, Gabe, joined us in our trek to Alishan National Forest making sure that we enjoy it. He also managed our booking for the Zhushan Line Sunrise Train Round-Trip tickets, and hotel reservations. We were housed at Alishan Gou Hotel and Sun Moon Lake Apollo Resort Hotel that provided us with wonderful services. It is a full-packed 3-days trip, made truly great by the incredible planning and services rendered by Gabe! We are truly grateful! 😊

The itinerary is so well planned-not slow, not jam packed. It was curated well that we spend enough time to appreciate Alishan national park and enjoy the area around sun moon lake. Our guide Allan was a big help in guiding us throught out the tour. He took a lot of good photos for us. Also, he is a good driver we have a smooth travel. Value for money tour- accomodations were great, no problem in the transportation.

Vaness was my tour guide and we did so much on this 3 day trip. The nature sights looked unreal. I also ate very well in this tour and the hotels that were booked were in very convenient locations. I highly recommend this tour to see Taiwan! One of the best memories on this trip was being lucky enough to see the sunrise at Alishan with the sea of clouds and mountains in the horizon. Thank you Vaness!

booking this tour was the best decision i made on my trip to Taiwan. I was travelling solo, and this small group tour covered all my needs, and connected me with great travel companions. The tour is the perfect length to explore Fenqihu, Alishan and Sun Moon Lake. These are gorgeous, must see spots, and all the details were taken care of so we could just relax and enjoy the experience. Our guide Vanness is extremely thoughtful and took exceptional care of us. He is a great story teller and shared the history and context of each new location we visited. He also made adjustments on the fly to take our interests into consideration, such as visiting a local tea farm, and planning the trip just right to avoid crowds and long lines. Vanness made sure we had the best time, and he was very patient and supportive of my effots to practice Mandarin. Five stars, fantastic experience, well worth the money. Highly recommend!

Vanness is a knowledgeable, responsible, professional, and humourous leader. He has good preparation and is very caring and very precise in recommending where for meals including snacks and drinks and local good foods. Overall a very pleasant trip
