The entire package tour, from the high-speed rail transfer to Alishan, and the guide's tour of Alishan, went smoothly. The accommodation was also very close to the station, making it convenient to get up early to enjoy the sunrise. It's a great choice for those who don't want to arrange public transportation and accommodation themselves. 👍

Departing from Taipei, the entire trip is led by a tour guide. The tour guide is very dedicated, so you can fully enjoy the experience. The weather was great that day, and the scenery of Alishan was also very beautiful. Highly recommend friends to participate.

Tony was absolutely the best tour guide we could have asked for on this trip! The drive to Alishan involves some winding roads, but he drove so smoothly and safely that we felt completely comfortable in the car. He is a fantastic conversationalist who kept us entertained during the long drive, and he really knows his way around the Alishan forests. A highlight was when he took us to a quiet village to have lunch and watch the train pass by—a spot we wouldn't have found on our own. He even brought his own camera and shared high-quality photos of us and the scenery afterward. I was traveling with my senior parents, and Tony was incredibly patient and made the entire experience easy for them. We highly recommend booking him for a group tour!

This was a very well-organized trip. I wasn’t expecting much and this exceeded my expectations. From the confirmation whatsapp messages to answering my questions, the tour operator was quick to reply and understood what I was asking (in English). The day before, you are put into a large whatsapp group and everyone going on the tour is blasted messages to let them know which transfer vehicles they will be boarding. Different drivers and guides appear along the way. An information package with vouchers, maps, and the itinerary are given out the moment you meet your first driver. Large luggage are driven up to the hotel, the train ride up Alishan was fun and beautiful in an old swaying train, and upon arrival there is someone waiting to pick you up. Timings of when to be back are verbally given out, use a translator app if you cannot understand. Watch your timings. There are a lot of people waiting for the sunrise train, you get an option to switch to a bus to go to another location too.

Came with my family to relax with a massage, specifically requested technician #57, very professional and great technique. My family raved about the experience, and we will definitely request technician #57 again next time.

I've been here several times, and technician #57 is excellent. They are very attentive and remind me of things to watch out for. Every time I come, I request technician #57 specifically.

Don’t think it’s expensive but it worth it, especially for solo traveler. No need to rush the bus and took long travel time. Driver will explain some of the history to gain your knowledge and help everyone to take photo in every station he stop by. The pros is driver help to purchase train tickets and lunch box included. Will stop by at Fengqi, Tea garden, a few different walking trails on the way to alishan which you can’t go if you take buses. Also stop for washroom and give you tips how and where need to visit when inside the park. Although it just 2 hours inside the Alishan National Forest but it is enough if you not plan to climb up to the top. I enjoyed the tour and have good rest in mpv car. I also can see different scenery along the way. No rush and relax. The only regret is the weather not so good in the evening, can’t see beautiful sunset and seas if clouds. No fource purchase if bring to to souvenir store.
