Had a great well organised trip. Our guide Amy Sung paced the places perfectly and very patiently explained and introduce the places in both English & Mandarin. She introduced the best taiwanese food to eat at Jiufeng. I definitely will recommend this itinerary with Klook which is value for money and best is we just sit back & relax.

Sunny is friendly and professional in doing her job. She ensured everyone is well taken care of. Overall we explored 4 places, but I hope there is more buffer time in Shifen and Jiufen for us to explore. Pineapple DIY experience is quite unique. Thanks Sunny! Will visit Taipei again.

This tour was very tiring due to the hiking in the middle of the day in Bitou Hiking Cape. 😅The sun is directly on your skin and head, so bring an umbrella, sunblock, cap, sunglasses and skin covers. Nonetheless, the tour was very fun and worth the energy! Our guide, Aaron Wu, from MyProGuide Taiwan was very nice and helpful. I'll definitely want to book with them again via Klook in my future trips. Thanks, Klook!

It was fun even if the weather was rainy. Jaron Lee or Jia-Ron Li was our guide and he was very passionate of his job. He spoke very well Japanese and English as he attended to all of us. He explained a lot about the place going to the area and we were advised to get a raincoat if we wanted additional protection from the rain, which were also available all around Jiufen. Jiufen was a lovely place, it was rainy but the vibes was there, we enjoyed the many shops, view, dinner and we safely headed back to Taipe Main Station/Raohe Night Market. Feichang Ganxie Jaron! He took good care of us and was very helpful of inquiries! God bless and take care! :)

Of all the tours I booked, this was my peesonal favorite. The tour agency notified me that there was not enough english speakers who booked for the tour so we are joininv the Chinese speaking group. Mr. Eric, our driver was very commendable and accommodating! He was truly helpful and he really tried to explain everything in English. Thank you for this lovely and calming experience! Highly recommended! ♥️🙏🏼

Even with thoroughly terrible weather, my partner and I had a great time on this tour led by Vivian. We enjoyed all the locations, had plenty of time in each, and learned a bit about Taiwan’s, and the local area’s, history and culture. Highly recommend this tour - especially for cat people.

Benson Lo was a very friendly and informative driver that got us to each location safely and swiftly. He even gave us his recommendations at each stop. Loved how the destinations were packaged together, which otherwise would’ve been difficult to get to on your own. Highly recommend!
New Taipei at a glance
Quick facts about New Taipei
General info
What to know before visiting New Taipei
A quick feel for New Taipei and its highlights
New Taipei draws most bookings for outdoor and cultural experiences: parks & gardens lead, followed by tours and cultural experiences, with spa and family-friendly options also popular. Demand peaks in April and falls sharply through late summer into August, so the city's rhythm swings between lively spring crowds and a much quieter late-summer stretch.
Best times to visit for price and crowd balance
According to Klook booking data, April is the busiest month while August is the quietest. Prices generally fall into two bands: they peak around July and drop to their lowest around August, so crowds and prices diverge slightly—April is busiest but not the priciest, while July is more expensive even though demand is moderate. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, plan for August or September; for peak-season atmosphere pick April.
Tips for travellers
Most visitors book just a few days ahead: typical lead time is about three days, though some travellers lock plans earlier. That means you can be flexible and still find activities on short notice, but consider confirming popular tours and cultural experiences a few weeks in advance if you travel in the busy spring period. Use Klook to check availability close to travel dates and secure the specific experiences you want.
