The overall tour was great! Taking the boat tour of the Qigu Lagoon was very relaxing. Along the way, they introduced local oyster farming methods and the lagoon ecosystem, and the guided tour was very interesting. 🛥️
The grilled oysters are all-you-can-eat, very fresh, and grilling and eating them yourself is a great hands-on experience 🦪😋 The staff were also very friendly, the overall itinerary was smooth, and the price was a great value. I highly recommend it to friends visiting Qigu!

The wonderful driver and dedicated tour guide conducted the tour for us despite the pouring rain. Halfway through the tour, it stopped, and we were able to catch wonderful views of the lights on the bridges and houses of the city. A successful excursion!

The boat tour guide gave very detailed explanations, but the boat ride was extremely long. Just the round-trip boat ride took an hour and a half. We departed at 10:45 AM and didn't start grilling oysters until 12:30 PM. The facilities on shore were all damaged, making it look just like a deserted island with driftwood everywhere, leaving a terrible impression. The grilled oysters were also not fresh, and some inside were rotten and stinking. My husband got a fever and a stomachache after returning. Sigh, you really need to grill oysters thoroughly, check them, and smell them before eating.

The tour guide is fast in arranging our schedule, and complete the itinerary satisfactory, because it was 31°C - a hot sunny day, which we struggled to stay outdoor the whole morning and afternoon. Chimei Museum is a must visit place, highly recommended.

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.

Good to join this day tour. A total of 5 pax in a car. Quite comfortable. The tour guide Jessie is very friendly!! She brought us to get winter melon drink and soya bean curb too! Recommended us what to eat and where to go.

Tour guide Charlie was professional and attentive, providing very in-depth explanations of the attractions. Rather than visiting on my own, his guidance helped me better understand Taiwan's past economic development. For example, Anping was an early starting point for foreign trade in China, while Ten Drum represents the development of the modern sugar-milling industry.
Overall, the itinerary was well-designed. As I was the only participant that day, Charlie flexibly adjusted the schedule to suit my actual conditions and needs, paying special attention to my mobility limitations, which gave me great peace of mind. Highly recommended!
