Taipei Walking Tour: Introduction to Taipei's Old City History English Guided Tour

I recently joined a Tour Me Away "free" walk guided tour in Taipei, booked through Klook, and I cannot recommend our guide, Leo, highly enough. Leo was a truly lovely, engaging, and eloquent guide who brought Taiwan’s history to life with warmth and passion. From the start, Leo’s storytelling skills and deep knowledge made every stop-whether a park, a memorial, or a bustling city street-feel meaningful. He shared not just the facts, but also the significance of each place, connecting Taiwan’s local history to its impact on world events. Leo’s enthusiasm was infectious, and his ability to answer questions and engage with everyone in the group made the tour both educational and enjoyable. Having a guided tour with someone like Leo is not just a good idea-it’s the best way to truly appreciate Taiwan’s rich past and the sacrifices made by those who fought for democracy. Walking through the parks and memorials, I gained a much deeper appreciation for the courage and resilience of the people who shaped Taiwan’s present. If you’re considering a tour in Taipei, don’t hesitate to book with Tour Me Away on Klook. Leo’s guidance will help you see the city through new eyes, and you’ll walk away with a greater understanding and appreciation for Taiwan’s place in world history.

We love DOROTHY! She’s amazing, smart, very insightful about the history of Taiwan especially Taipei and made sure we had the best tour experience. Love this tour arrangement, though we did lots of walking and weather was hot (28 degrees), we enjoyed every bit of it! We definitely recommend DOROTHY!!!

The Tour was so informative. I learned a lot from James our Tour Guide. I hope to booked more similar Tour like this soon when I am back in Taiwan. The Tour Guide also brought us to a Great Ice Cream Shop Called Snow King. Also recommended me to a good Beef Noodles Restaurant.

We enjoyed very much this walking tour primarily because of the insights of our guide, Josi. She is very articulate and can finish 10 words in 2 seconds and this is good because for 2 hours we got a lot of information from her! Although this is not for the average tourist who is into Instagram poses, I would recommend this because you get a lot of information about Taiwan. We also got info on other stuff like the best milktea and best places to eat. Thank you Josi and my tourmates.

This is our first tour in taiwan. Our tour guide Taile is very articulate and I saw her enthusiasm in sharing Taiwan’s history with us. we definitely learned a lot and she offered us the best aiyu refreshment in the trip.

Our recent walking tour of the city with Taile as our tour guide was an unforgettable experience! Taile brought the city to life, making the exploration both informative, educational and fun. Her storytelling style makes the tour interactive and engaging. The tour was a delightful blend of adventure and learning.

* love this tour as a geek for history and some inside stories too. this is a good glimpse of how Taiwan got to the present condition. highly recommended and it’s free.

It was my first tour in Taiwan, it was surprisingly fun, we did a lot of walking, so I suggest you wear a very comfortable sneakers. the tour was very quick if you want to come back to take the photos you can. the tour was very informative, and if they did it on another part of the city, I would book it as well. I met a lot of people I met a lot of new friends on this tour so I'm very happy with it. i'm giving it five stars. you should try too!!
