A great place to take the kids for a walk with great value for money. There are many rare specimens and replica animals that cannot be seen in Taiwan. There is also a botanical garden and zoo next to the park, where you can spend a whole day.

I just got a good deal. The round trip takes 8 hours, but it's okay to see the holy mountain! The tour guide is very considerate and explains very well, but unfortunately he doesn't talk much (maybe everyone in this group wants to rest and sleep)

The tour leader is very reassuring, and the explanation in Chinese is very reassuring, so you don't have to worry about missing out on the ride. The itinerary will be introduced and explained on the bus, and the number of names will be called at the stops. If you fall behind or miss the tour leader, you can contact them via WeChat or mobile phone. (Before the trip, we will send you a message to add WeChat and join the group for the day.)

Loved our cruise on the River Seine. Boarding was smooth and efficient. The commentary was available over the loud speakers on the boat, and also via a phone attached to every seat. The cruise is an excellent way to see the beautiful landmarks dotted along the river. It worked out well for us as the jetty is just a short walk from the Eiffel Tower. We did the day cruise and enjoyed every minute. Highly recommended.

As soon as we entered the museum, our tour guide immediately took us to see all the must-see treasures in the Louvre. So we didn't miss anything we wanted to see, but we strongly recommend that you choose our session, because more and more people want to see Mona Lisa later, so it will be difficult to find and squeeze in to see Mona Lisa in the front.
