Tainan Tours

The tour guide is fast in arranging our schedule, and complete the itinerary satisfactory, because it was 31°C - a hot sunny day, which we struggled to stay outdoor the whole morning and afternoon. Chimei Museum is a must visit place, highly recommended.

Un dia d'excursió ple d'activitats. El guia/conductor va arribar puntual al punt de recollida i va conduir de manera molt segura i estable. L'exposició de Harry Potter al parc cultural i creatiu de Ten Drum és molt bona; i l'espectacle de percussió d'uns 40 minuts és imperdible. Per sort, el temps va ser excel·lent aquell dia i vam poder gaudir de la bellesa de la posta de sol a les salines. L'última parada va ser el mercat nocturn de Dadong, on tothom va poder menjar fins a quedar tip abans de tornar.

Molt bé haver-nos unit a aquesta excursió d'un dia. Un total de 5 persones en un cotxe. Bastant còmode. La guia turística Jessie és molt amable!! Ens va portar a prendre beguda de meló d'hivern i tofu de soja! Ens va recomanar què menjar i on anar.

Tour guide Charlie was professional and attentive, providing very in-depth explanations of the attractions. Rather than visiting on my own, his guidance helped me better understand Taiwan's past economic development. For example, Anping was an early starting point for foreign trade in China, while Ten Drum represents the development of the modern sugar-milling industry. Overall, the itinerary was well-designed. As I was the only participant that day, Charlie flexibly adjusted the schedule to suit my actual conditions and needs, paying special attention to my mobility limitations, which gave me great peace of mind. Highly recommended!

The instructor gave very detailed explanations and was great at guiding the children. Even though it was very sunny throughout the trip, it didn't dampen the kids' enthusiasm for listening to stories at all. Plus, there aren't as many tourists on weekdays, so walking and learning was really comfortable. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn about the history of Tainan and Taiwan—you definitely have to come!

Overall, the itinerary was pretty good. Our tour guide, Mr. Lu, was humorous and engaging. However, several attractions on the itinerary were just a quick glance from the outside, and we didn't go inside, which meant they didn't leave a deep impression. Specifically, the history of Anping, the Dutch, and Koxinga could have been explained in more detail, providing a clearer historical overview. I hope the organizers will reconsider the itinerary.

The Official God of War Temple was gorgeous and our guide told us all about the traditions there. The qipao fit great and the photographer in our group of five was patient. A relaxed, memorable half day in Tainan.

Annie was a wonderful guide and we were so grateful for the introduction to Tainan and the food scene here. She took us to so many different places, explaining the cultural signficance of each of the food items. We felt no pressure to purchase anything but did purchase most things as they looked so tasty! We also toured a few different temples and signficant sites, learning about the traditions and stories associated with each. It was much better than just stumbing across them on our own and trying to make sense of what we were seeing. Annie was even kind enough to notice when we were sturggling with the heat and allowed us to take a break in an air connditioned coffee shop. Thank you Annie for sharing all your information and recommendations with us! We even ended up having dinner later that night at a beef soup place Annie mentioned. :-)
