honestly the itinerary is good, we arrived Yehliu slightly before 8am, which made us the first few tourists in the whole park. Yangmingshan supposedly to be the focus of the day tour, however we had a very misty foggy weather , didn’t get to see much views 😂 nonetheless I like this tour , 730am to 2pm, which is not very tiring. Our driver Mr Zhou is friendly, he bought baked sweet potatoes to treat us. The team that organised the tour and pick up drop of services is very professional and efficient. But be aware that this is a car pool service , not a guided tour, so it might not be suitable for everybody.

The entire exhibition area is divided into four chapters, and many parts reawakened the excitement I felt when I first watched the anime. There are numerous character standees with expressive faces, displays of the story's content, and models of famous scenes, weapons, and staffs available for photos. It's definitely worth the price of admission.

Buying tickets online is super convenient and can be used anytime. The exhibition space is quite large, and it's air-conditioned, making it a suitable exhibition for both adults and children. Highly recommended!

Our tour guide, David, was very enthusiastic and conversational. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared everything he knew. The next time I visit Taipei, I will definitely ask him to be my guide again.

Going on a Monday means fewer crowds, which makes for a great visit. The staff are friendly and provide excellent service. The flow of traffic is acceptable, but some merchandise is out of stock.

Our day tour to Yangmingshan National Park and Beitou was the perfect escape from the city! The volcanic landscapes at Xiaoyoukeng and the lush greenery of the flower clock were breathtaking. We even got a chance to see some cherry blossoms. Ending the day in the peaceful, sulfurous atmosphere of the Beitou hot spring area was incredibly relaxing, eventhough it was really a foggy morning with some drizzle in yangmingshan. ​A special thank you to our guide, David, who was absolutely wonderful. David was knowledgeable about the geology and history of the area and ensured we had plenty of time at each stop without feeling rushed. His friendly energy and helpful tips for the best photo spots made the day truly seamless. Highly recommend this tour, and definitely ask for David!

This past Tuesday (March 26th) at 10 AM, my spouse and I experienced the National Palace Museum's Korean docent-guided tour, 'Gogung Museum Day Tour,' which we booked through Klook. It was truly one of the most enjoyable and informative experiences of our lives. The guide from 'Chakan Tour' (I believe that was the name?) who led our session was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything in such an easy-to-understand way, extending the scheduled two-hour tour significantly. We are so grateful. Although my husband and I had to leave about five minutes early to attend the Shifen Sky Lantern Festival, the impression the tour left on us lingered for a long time. It was wonderful to hear explanations of Chinese history and the history of Korea's Gojoseon, as the guide's knowledge was far deeper than that of other guides. The way they connected the explanations to the museum artifacts made everything incredibly clear and easy to grasp. It was a truly beneficial experience. I apologize for not catching the guide's name clearly before the tour started, so I can't include it in this review. Nevertheless, we were so thankful that our first day tour in Taiwan began so wonderfully, thanks to that guide. Above all, we were deeply moved by their passionate and continuous explanations for over two hours. If anyone I know plans to visit the National Palace Museum in Taiwan, I would enthusiastically recommend this guide. It was truly the best docent tour of my life.

Our guide Bratt Kao made this tour a fantastic experience. Because the group size was small, the entire trip felt very personal rather than a typical large tour. Bratt did a great job bringing everyone together and making the group feel comfortable, almost like traveling with a small family. He was extremely knowledgeable about Taipei, sharing interesting background and stories about the city as well as the places we visited. The pace of the tour was relaxed, well organized, and allowed us to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. Overall, it was a great way to explore the area and learn more about the local culture. I would highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Bratt as your guide.
