Taipei Full-Day Yangmingshan & Yehliu Geology Tour

Didn't expect the rain to be that bad during the tour but it didn't stop us from enjoying the places we've been to. I specifically looking forward to Qintiangang but didnt see much in Grassland due to fog and it was also too cold. The expertise of our Driver Mr. Cheng was also superb. We enjoyed it and will definitely recommend this.

The driver recommended many places popular with locals. The tour finished earlier than expected; I thought we'd be back in Taipei around 6 PM, but we returned around 3 PM. One hour at Yehliu wasn't enough to see the end of the third section, although I did manage to visit the main attractions. We had an hour at Qingtiangang, but the grassland itself wasn't very exciting, and there wasn't enough time to walk the trail to Lengshuikeng. Perhaps the visit to Qingtiangang could be shortened to half an hour, and Yehliu extended to an hour and a half. The time at Xiaoyoukeng was sufficient. The Flower Clock can be skipped; instead, the cherry blossom path near it is worth photographing. At Zhuzihu, we only had time to eat, and after lunch, there was no time to see the calla lilies, though the restaurant the driver recommended was good. We had enough time at Beitou Geothermal Valley, but couldn't visit other areas.

honestly the itinerary is good, we arrived Yehliu slightly before 8am, which made us the first few tourists in the whole park. Yangmingshan supposedly to be the focus of the day tour, however we had a very misty foggy weather , didn’t get to see much views 😂 nonetheless I like this tour , 730am to 2pm, which is not very tiring. Our driver Mr Zhou is friendly, he bought baked sweet potatoes to treat us. The team that organised the tour and pick up drop of services is very professional and efficient. But be aware that this is a car pool service , not a guided tour, so it might not be suitable for everybody.

This grassland tour was one of the highlights of my trip to Taiwan! The scenery was absolutely stunning—wide open landscapes, fresh air, and endless green views that make you feel completely relaxed. It truly offers some of the best natural views in Taiwan. The tour was well-organized, with plenty of time to walk around, take photos, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. The guide was friendly and informative, adding interesting stories about the area without rushing us. If you love nature, open spaces, and beautiful landscapes, this grassland day tour is a must. A perfect way to experience Taiwan’s natural beauty!

It was a great tour slow and steady. Our driver was the best he was very jolly, explains to us the places we go to and speaks good English. The driver also gave us enough time to take photos in the remaining cherry blossoms site in Taiwan. the operator even offered to take us to Ximending for a free afternoon tea but we were so tired from the early morning flight.

This trip was incredibly worthwhile. Joining the tour group with people from eight different countries was a fascinating experience, allowing me to meet people from various backgrounds. The mountain cherry blossoms on Yangmingshan in spring were exceptionally beautiful and abundant. The bald cypress forest, enveloped in morning mist, looked just like a scene from a Korean drama. The set meal at Zhuzihu was highly praised by my foreign friends, who kept saying how delicious the Taiwanese mountain vegetables were. Many thanks to Mr. Sun and the three tour guides for their thorough care, which made for a wonderful experience.

2nd time to try to using klook on tours like this in Taipei and it was the best. The driver/tour guide Andy Zeng is such a funny, informative and GREAT DRIVER! You will understand this rating if you tried going to this whole tour during raining season. The fog was instense which we did not expect but navigation and driving skill level 100%! ALSO FOOD RECO IS LIT! We enjoy the meal and snacks reco along each stops. Also the partner of klook is VERY proactive, 3days before your tour they will already reachout to set expectations to help travelers prepare and they provide good guide information on where and when to meet. SO YES! BOOK IT. Don't think. As for Mr. Andy Zeng, he is good!

Ray Lee was an absolute gigachad, man went above and beyond to make this an awesome trip. I would have liked to stay even longer at the first two stops, but besides that the trip was fairly well paced. The guide would explain things to us, very informative.

This was my first time experiencing a day tour in Taiwan, and honestly, it didn't quite meet my expectations. There was no special commentary at any of the attractions; we just got on and off at designated spots, often feeling lost about where to start after getting off the bus. The Flower Clock stop felt unnecessary. Also, perhaps because it was the off-season, the tour ended early. More time should have been allocated to Yehliu, and the time at Qingtiangang wasn't enough to complete the trail. Furthermore, the driver we had seemed to have a different itinerary than what was originally planned. Although it took some time, we eventually reverted to the original schedule. Each stop felt like a quick glance, but considering the travel time, it could be an option if you want to check off multiple attractions in one go.

The driver was very smooth and steady, and had a calm personality without constantly trying to make small talk, which is great for introverts! There was no guided commentary, but he did share a little bit of information about local attractions. The vehicle arrangement was different from what was expected; it was a combined group of 4 plus 4 people, and a 9-seater van was completely filled, making the seating space a bit cramped. The itinerary started with a departure from Taipei Main Station at 7:00 AM, arriving at Yehliu Geopark before 8:00 AM when it wasn't open yet, so we had to wait around the perimeter until opening time to enter. However, arriving early is nice because a little later tour buses arrive and you have to wait in line just to take photos. The time spent at each attraction is fixed and doesn't change due to delays or being ahead of schedule from the previous stop. It is strongly discouraged to take this tour during a long holiday weekend. Because of the crowds during the holiday, entering the parking lot at Qingtiangang took over 30 minutes of waiting in line. The driver said the parking wait time was included in the one-hour stop, so our actual time there would be shortened. Fortunately, a companion in our group found out we could take a public bus up, so we quickly took the bus to Qingtiangang ourselves, snapped a few quick photos, and took the bus back to the meeting point. Lunch was scheduled in the Zhuzihu scenic area, which included time for lunch on your own for one hour. We thought there might be time to look around, but in reality, as soon as you finish eating, it's time to get back on the bus, and there isn't much to see around there anyway, plus there was heavy traffic coming and going due to the holiday. The Yangmingshan Flower Clock stop was scheduled for 20 minutes, but in reality, including a restroom break, it was wrapped up in under 10 minutes. The itinerary stated we would visit Thermal Valley, but we actually went to Sulfur Valley instead; I'm not sure if the attraction was changed and the driver just didn't mention it. Considering the price, the cost-performance ratio of this tour is on the lower side, and it feels like it would be much more worthwhile to charter a private vehicle and plan your own itinerary.
