Totally recommended if you are travelling with a big group of people and kids. Bubble was our tour guide and he provides a lot of information and historical references for us during the ride. He also recommended us the restaurants we can try for traditinal Taiwanese food when we were in Jifen, or else we would be lost. We had a great time and definitely recommend this for anyone who want to visit Jifen and Shifen.
Hicks' tour was fantastic. He was flexible and planned the tour around our desired schedule. Even when we requested specific attractions during the tour, he adjusted the itinerary appropriately. Hicks' English was fluent, making his explanations of the sights easy to understand. His excellent driving skills ensured a comfortable journey throughout the tour. He was considerate, allowing us to relax comfortably during travel. If you're considering a tour of Shifen and Jiufen, I highly recommend him.
Mr. Caleb was our tourguide/driver for the day. Got to ride a Toyota Granvia with Captain’s chair! Very comfy and best for post-tour naps. Since this is a private tour, we can pick with destination to go to/ skip. Shifen Old Street - Sky Lantern and souvenir buying (2 pcs of lantern were included in this tour); Lucky that we reach this area early= not crowded yet. Love the embroidered cat key chains! Jiufen old Street - Lunch break and souvenir shopping Mr. Caleb also directed us to the less travelled pathways and ordered for our lunch (braised pork) Also, bought pineapple cakes, mango jellies and nougat! Mr. Caleb was kind enough to pick then up and put them in the van so we wont have to carry it with us. Also suggested the photo stops and took the photos while giving a brief history of the place. Esp the secret spot on Jiufen area. At the end of the day, he dropped us at our pickup point, fresh from our nap inside our comfy van. l
this tour was worth every penny. depending on what time you book your tour, they will cater it to fit your day. We recommend booking the private tour because you’re able to also customize it how you want and their private tours are in English. Stephen was our tour guide. he was patient when we were slower and had a lot of knowledge that he shared with us about each site. He also had great recommendations and never let us forget any of our items. We recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see the northern part of Taiwan, but doesn’t want to be stressed with how to get there and what to do.
Super fun half-day tour! We started early and avoided the crowds — perfect! First stop was Shifen Waterfall — peaceful, scenic, and a great way to start the day. Then we headed to Pingxi to release sky lanterns. Such a meaningful and fun experience! Got great photos too thanks to our awesome guide Mr. Steven Huang 🙌 Last stop was Jiufen, a charming old town with amazing street food (highly recommend the taro balls and fishballs!). The views were stunning and the vibe felt like a real-life Spirited Away. Huge thanks to Mr. Steven — super friendly, informative, and made everything smooth and fun. If you’re thinking about booking this, do it! And ask for Steven if you can — 10/10 experience 💯
An amazing day tour. Highly recommend this tour with Yolo Taiwan through Klook. Our day went smoothly. Our guide Sean Wang was absolutely brilliant. He was patient and very knowledgeable, not only of the tourist sites, but how to navigate them. He was with us the entire time, however we didn’t feel rushed or crowded. some amazing scenic photos were taken. Thank you Klook and YOLO Taiwan, will definitely recommend this to others.
We had an incredible day exploring the outskirts of Taipei! Roger was fantastic—friendly, professional, and spoke excellent English. He shared so much fascinating history about Jiufen and the Ying Yang Sea area that we never would have learned on our own. From the magical Shifen sky lanterns and the powerful Shifen Waterfall to the unique colors of the Golden Waterfall and Yin Yang Sea, everything was perfectly paced. If you want a guide who is knowledgeable and easy to talk to, look no further!
Sean is a very pleasant guide and driver. We were not rushed for time or pressured to sightsee. Although the weather was bad and Jiufen became very crowded, we were able to complete the itinerary as stated.
