It was a full and enriching day tour. The guide/driver arrived on time at the pick-up location and drove very safely and steadily. The Harry Potter exhibition hall in the Ten Drum Cultural Park was excellent, and the approximately 40-minute drum performance is not to be missed. Luckily, the weather was great that day, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful sunset over the salt fields. The last stop was Dadong Night Market, where everyone could eat their fill before heading back.

We had a great morning with Annie and would definitely recommend. This was a great way to explore the city and try some local food favorites. There were only two of us on the tour, which was also great. Our guide was very knowledgeable and took great care to make sure we were getting the most out of the experience. Thank you

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 historical and cultural explanations were thorough, dedicated, and passionate. It's a rare opportunity to be next to such a historic site, and it would be even better if we could delve deeper into its understanding. We walked and stopped frequently in the hot weather, so please make sure to bring water, a towel, and a fan; you'll definitely need them! :)

What to know before visiting Tainan
Discover Tainan’s relaxed cultural mix
Tainan is a laid-back city where museums, zoos & aquariums and historical sites top traveller interest, with parks, gardens and massage experiences also popular. Demand on Klook peaks in January and dips sharply in September, so the city’s visitor rhythm swings between lively peak periods and much quieter troughs.
Best months to visit for crowds and prices
Klook booking data show January as the busiest month and September as the quietest. Prices move through the year too: historically the cheapest month on Klook is September while the priciest tends to be June, and prices trend lower through the late summer into September before climbing again into the following summer. If you want smaller crowds and lower typical prices, aim for September and the surrounding quieter months; if you prefer peak-season atmosphere and more activity, January delivers that energy. Note that demand and prices don’t always move in lockstep — the busiest month isn’t the absolute most expensive in Klook data, so check both factors when planning.
Tips for travellers from Australia
Most travellers from Australia typically book activities about three days ahead, so Tainan suits a short-notice getaway or a slightly planned trip. For peak-month travel (January) consider booking earlier to secure popular museum and historical-site experiences; for quieter months you can often arrange things a few days out. Use Klook to compare availability and typical prices for the museums, zoos and historical attractions that interest you.
