The tour was very refreshing, nature and cold weather. This unlocks my new experience, the tour guide was so detailed with the places that we visit and she’s letting us taking our time on taking pictures. She is also the one taking our photos, me as a solo traveler i helps me a lot. She even gave us mochi at the end of the tour, she is very reliable and fluent in talking english. Her name is Mika

Our tour guide Eric was excellent! He was very thoughtful and put a lot of effort into explaining the attractions. Eric is a perfect tour guide! The only downside was the weather wasn't great. I hope to come back again when the weather is better.

Had a great experience with our tour guide Eric. This made coming out to Alishan area very easy, especially not being being able to speak the language. The bus ride was comfortable and Eric’s English was great. He gave the group options for meals including a local bento pick up before arriving to Alishan for $120NTD which was chicken, pork, or vegetarian rice bowl which included vegetables and sides inside. Or you can get your own food around the visitor center. He also allowed the group majority vote for how long of a lunch. most wanted a 30m lunch so we had more time to hike around. He gave us some complimentary snacks that were a rice cake and some different flavored baked cakes. He was also the photographer for everyone at prime spots. Everyone wanted to take the famous train back after the hike to the station so that was an extra $100NTD per person. Got great videos going through the misty mountain side. Overall it is worth taking to ensure a safe and good experience.
