We successfully completed our Yess Fooji tour despite the light rain. We experienced many of the places I really wanted to see in Taiwan, all within a limited budget. I believe this was largely thanks to Prince, our guide, who provided excellent explanations that resonated with our sensibilities. The 42 members of our group were also punctual, which was great. I highly recommend this tour. Now, with our itinerary complete, we're heading to the 58% restaurant that our guide recommended. Thank you for your hard work.

operated locally by MyProGuide Taiwan, and it turned out to be a fantastic way to explore some of the most iconic spots around Taipei in a single day. The itinerary covered Yehliu Geopark, Jiufen Old Street, Shifen, and the Golden Waterfall. Our guide Vivian was excellent throughout the trip — punctual, clear with instructions, and very well organized. She managed the schedule perfectly and ensured we had a good balance between guided explanations and free time to explore each location at our own pace. Her food recommendations were spot on, and we really enjoyed every stop she suggested. She even helped organize the sky lantern experience at Shifen, which was a highlight of the day. The weather was a bit rainy at times, but that’s part of the Taiwan experience and didn’t take away from the overall enjoyment. 💡 Insider Tip: At Shifen, grab a pork sausage from the small street stall in the picture, and in Jiufen, try the Chinese restaurant shop number 84 Vivian recommended.

This is my second time booking this tour, this time I travelled with my friends. Even though it rained during our tour, we enjoyed it! Our guide, Young, recommended the best spots to eat and gave lectures about each location. This tour is highly recommended!

Today's trip was fantastic! 👍🏼 A big thank you to our guide, Cheney, who was incredibly humorous and kept the entire journey engaging. He shared fascinating stories and background information about the different attractions, giving us a deeper understanding of Taiwan's history. The itinerary was well-planned, never feeling rushed, and we had plenty of time for photos and exploring. 🚩 Cheney's attentiveness to everyone and his excellent guidance made the whole trip very smooth. I highly recommend trying a one-day tour like this when you visit Taiwan. Having a bus for transportation is so much more convenient, comfortable, and time-saving compared to public transport. ❤️
