Taipei Half-Day Private Jiufen & Cat Village Tour

I highly recommend this. I don't know what I would have done without it... I came on a trip with my younger sister, and the driver and guide tailored everything to us and explained it well. Thank you so much, Nicolas. I go to the bathroom often and take forever to take pictures, but he told us the best photo spots and guided us by understanding our needs. It rained, but he prepared a large umbrella, told us about souvenir shops, and guided us to great restaurants, making it the best trip ever. He speaks English well and explains everything in detail, which was a great help in understanding Taiwan. I highly recommend a private tour over a bus tour. Thank you so much!!

Driver Kobayashi's attentive and flexible service made me feel even more connected to Taiwan. The driver notifies us 15 minutes before arriving at the pick-up location, this thoughtful gesture really impressed us. Kobayashi is considerate of tourists' feelings, this ensures he won't disrupt their itinerary when traveling in Taiwan. During the journey between Shifen and Jiufen, he also helped us take very nice photos. Moreover, considering various traffic conditions, he helped us arrange the order of visiting all the attractions. On the return trip, Kobayashi's extensive driving experience allowed him to find a faster and smoother route to take us back to the hotel during peak hours. On the day of the Shifen and Jiufen tour, Kobayashi made our entire trip very fulfilling. Grateful. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thanks to the gentle driver Caleb, I was able to successfully complete my first overseas 효도 (filial piety) tour with my mom! Other bus tours are good too, but I wanted a private trip, so I chose a taxi tour ㅎㅎ. He drove comfortably and gave us plenty of time at each tour location, so there was no problem sightseeing! He speaks English fluently, so there were no communication problems ㅎㅎ. I asked him to drop us off at the night market instead of the hotel, and he agreed~ This may vary depending on the guide, but I think you can adjust the itinerary and let them know! Thanks to him, I was able to buy delicious pineapple cakes and nougat crackers cheaply ㅎㅎ. Thank you, Caleb :)

My sisters and I are so glad we did this private tour! Our tour guide was Henry. He came earlier than the scheduled time and we had a chance to eat breakfast at a spot he recommended before we started the tour. We went to Shifen waterfall, released a lantern at Shifen, took a pit stop at Keelung market for lunch, visited Houtong cat village, then ended the tour at Jiufen. The original tour comes with a ride back to your accommodations but we wanted to spend more time at Jiufen, so Henry helped us by giving us directions on how to get back. Henry was a very knowledgeable tour guide and told us facts about Taiwan we would have otherwise not known about if we had planned the trip ourselves. He helped us take photos and was very prepared for Taiwan’s rain and humidity. He gave us a bunch of recommendations which we really appreciate! I would 100% recommend this private tour. It felt like traveling with a friend and was a highlight of our Taiwan trip! (=

This tour was amazing! Sean, our wonderful guide, picked us up promptly from the hotel at the agreed time and took us on an amazing tour of Jiufen waterfall, Houston Cat Village and Shifen. Sean was very knowledgeable and took us to the best places for photos and through all of the popular spots. He also took us to a nearby town to Jiufen so that we could launch a paper lantern on a railway track too. I really enjoyed the tour, would recommend to anyone looking at this. Thank you so much Sean!!

Had a great time exploring Jiufen yesterday. Even with the crowds, the views were stunning and the atmosphere felt like stepping into a Ghibli film. The guide was informative and gave us enough time to enjoy the streets and local snacks. Really worth the visit! Bubble was really a great guide to us!

Junior was such a great guide and was so friendly and accomodating! He gave us a lot of recommendations and knowledgeable at the places we were going to. We will definitely use his services again for the next time, thank you Junior!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jackson is a great tour guide and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour. He communicated with us before departure and during so that we saw all the places we wanted to and made it back in plenty of time for our dinner reservation. He also recommended favorite spots and photo opportunities during the tour as well as tips for places to visit for this stay and any other future visits to Taiwan. A great experience and wonderful having a tour guide fluent in Chinese (multiple dialects) and English so that everyone in the party could enjoy. Highly recommended!

James, our guide and driver, was very accommodating and helpful. He made the experience more enjoyable in spite of the rain. He even went out of the way to return to us something we left in his vehicle. Extremely grateful to him for that.

Our guide was very pleasant and easy to talk to. The itinerary he prepared for us was very time efficient. He knows a lot about the places he brought us to. Also he had really great playlist that made the transfers fun and long time lively. Overall we had a really great tour. We highly recommend it!
