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.

Many online reviews say it's not good, but I actually think it's acceptable. The staff attitude is excellent, the location is great, and the hot water is hot enough.

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.

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!

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!

It's a pretty nice exhibition, worth visiting. It's also quite a good deal to pair it with a package that includes afternoon tea. Although it's called afternoon tea, there's no specific time limit for dining.
